I love cheap home decor.
I love cheap, do-it-yourself home decor.
Rarely, do I find something that encapsulates my deep-seeded home decor needs.
But this old bird has found a nest away from home at: The Nesting Place.
I don't think I have ever fallen for a blog so quickly. And she sells handmade tassels on etsy.
I bought this adorable domino tassel with a cream pom pom:
In a thank-you-I-received-it-email, I actually wrote, "If I had a BFF necklace, I would send you the other half."
And I don't kid about best friend necklaces.
I'm pretty sure I scared her. Half.To.Death.
She might even block me on Twitter.
The Nester has beautiful taste. Many of her posts are about creative ideas she's done in her own home. She has a classic, clean look and who wouldn't love her motto, "It doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful"?
One of my favorite parts (besides her tassel giveaways, in which she appeals to your inner-moocher) is her Mistreatment Club for window treatments.
Look, here's mine. I ordered the fabric on ebay. And painted black wooden balls from WalMart. My hubby helped me with the double-sided screws. Little black cording spaced every now and then make perfect hangers.
My tip? Go visit The Nester at her blog or here at her etsy store. And if you see something you like, buy it immediately because I have NEVER seen a store sell out more quickly! The people are all about tasseling.
It's like an epidemic of fringed-proportions.
Or you can leave a comment and risk the odds that you will be chosen to win a domino tassel just like mine ($20 value). (See? I told ya'll she was the best! And so generous!)
She's a hoot and that's my favorite kind of bird.
Leave just one comment and I'll choose the lucky tassel winner Thursday night at 10 p.m. CST.

Love the tassel balls... very fun!!! And your dining room window treatments look great!
an epidemic of fringed proportions--I so am gonna have to use that!
I think this is my favorite post of yours ever-imagine that!
you are so good with your words, lucky. That's why I have to put so many photos in my posts--I can't think of good words.
I would wear the other half of that necklace.
I visit the Nester's blog too! :) I would love to win a tassel!!! Thank you for the chance! :)
I'll have to visit her blog! The tassels she makes look pretty cool.
I love the Nester! I love the ideas I get from her site.
Thanks for a great giveaway!!
My friend JUST showed me her blog yesterday, and now you link it today. I need to check this girl's site out on my own!
Love the tassel and love her website and yours,too!
How creative!
Who Knew Tassels could be so much fun? I am pretty sure that I need them now too!
Oh I have a serious need for something that adorable to "pimp out my home." That's awesome.
I fell hard and fast for The Nester, too. I keep thinking that I want a BFF just like her!!

Tell me (the decorating challenged one) what would I do with a tassel if I won it?
I totally love the window treatment that you did! It's inspiring!
I would love to win the tassel. I would also love to see how people use tassels. [LOL, I come from a deprived family who don't own any tassels ...]
Nice, very nice! Gotta love the tassels.
Hmm.. I will have to check it out.. We don't have any tassles here and I sure could use some home decor help... crayon colored walls is so yesterday!
Nice tassels!!! LOL
I love her so much! She makes me sick though with how she can take something so ordinary and make it extraordinary. One day I will be like her..... One Day
I don't visit her blog often enough! I'm waaaay overdue for some redecorating at home!
Now, I luvvvv me some tassels. Great for all kinds of accents!
Love it! Tassels are so much fun! I have them in my guest room. Need them in more places! lol!
You have such good taste in home decorating. Maybe when the kids go off to school, you can put your talents to good use...hire yourself out to decorate others homes with others money!!!!
I LOVE the Nester! She was my very 1st blog reading addiction, I mean inspiration!!
I, too, have done a mistreatment but yours is much more beautiful. I love it!!
I sooooo want the Nester to be my neighbor!
great website, would love to win this
I found her via another blog one day. I fell in love with her witty decorating at once! She is so tasteful yet so savvy when it comes to her shopping. I would love to win one of these, because well, who wouldn't? I have made the raggamuffin garlands and I have mistreated my windows, but tassle making is a talent that I can't seem to master no matter how hard I try! So pick me pick me, please!! (can't you hear the desperation over here?)
oooh! Pretty! I'd have to find someplace very special to hang that :)
Totally cute idea!
How can you not like something that looks expensive but was actually frugal? And cute?
Love the Nester and would love to win a tassel! fistshaker@gmail.com
I NEED A TASSEL! MOM
Love your window treatments- looks great and I love your site!! kaw2465@yahoo.com

I recently discovered her too! She is incredible. I wish I had a mind for decorating like she does. It would be wonderful to win one of her tassels...maybe that would be a start!
I love the Nester! I myself am a part of the "mistreatment club". I want to learn to make these tassels next. She has great taste and ideas! Love the giveaway!!!
I love her blog, I would LOVE to win a tassel!
I love her blog, and her tassels, too!
Did I enter in the wrong comment? I love tassels and would love to win!
I have 8 places around the house where I could use a tassel!
I love the tassel and I love her blog and I love her store. So cute!
I love the Nester and her tassels! They are great!

I do love me the nester! I'm dying to do my own mistreatment! Just gotta figure out the fabric issue with a paisley couch! *ouch*
I love mistreatments! And I love her blog! Count me in!
Very neat! This is the first I've seen of her etsy store.
I love The Nester and have followed her blog for while. When I grow up I hope to be half as talented as she is!

I so love that tassel!
I've been a lurker on her blog for awhile...I so love it too!
I'm a H-U-G-E Nesting Place fan too! I just stumbled onto her blog about a month ago and visit it daily. I sure hope she doesn't think I'm stalking her! That's for the awesome giveaway.
I've been loving her site for about three weeks now...such neat ideas!

Really New To Blogging but caught your page on a friends site, love it! I also love the idea of tassels, that is just the cutest. I think I will take the idea of hanging them on my hubbies arms (like the wrestler)... LOL
God Bless
Okay, I'll chance it for now, that I'll win this thing, but if not, I'll head on over there to look around for myself.
