Chas’ Crazy Little Letter: Flea Market Treasures & Real-Life Organizing
Good morning, friends!
This past weekend was a really heart-filled one for my family. We headed out to the Mile High Flea Market to celebrate my brother’s birthday. It was always something he loved to do, so it felt like the perfect way to honor him. I just love the thrill of the hunt, don’t you? I managed to find some truly great treasures that I can’t wait to incorporate into my home.
It got me thinking… I love these outings so much, and I would love to spend more time with this wonderful community. If I were to put together some sort of “Chas’ Crazy Creations” retreat, would you ever want to come along? We could go treasure hunting, do some crafting, or just share tips over coffee. If that sounds like fun, tell me in the comments what kind of things you’d love to do together!
And oh, Colorado weather is at it again! My apple tree is covered in the most beautiful blossoms, but we have snow and rain in the forecast. I’m crossing my fingers that the blossoms survive so we actually get some apples this year!
🧺 The Video: Dollar Tree Organizers That Actually Work!
We’ve all been there—buying a “handy” container only to realize it doesn’t actually fit or hold up. This week, I’m taking you into my home to show you the Dollar Tree products I actually use in my kitchen, pantry, and junk drawers. These are the budget-friendly workhorses that truly make a difference!

🌸 Craft of the Week
If you have a few extra plastic bins or even some tin cans lying around, you have to see this “oldie but goodie” project. It’s a simple way to turn trash into treasure with just a little bit of paint and creativity.

I think a craft retreat sounds amazing!! I love crafting, antiquing/thrifting and upcycling.
Thanks for sharing Sara! It would be so much fun having a get together.
I would love to attend a craft retreat! I am interested in going treasure hunting & crafting. I’m a paper crafter who also dabbled in mixed media, watercolors, & fabric Creations. I would love to learn how to use resin to create charms, jewelry, key chains, etc!
Thanks for sharing Mary! I’m hoping enough people would be interested – would be SO much fun!!!
