ABOUT

Hello friend! My name is JoElle Knight and I am the Fanciful Miser. 
I am a woman who firmly believes creativity comes more abundantly to those without money! I mean, we have no choice, right!? Along with my passion to create beauty, I possess a dogged determination to do it while saving as many of my hard-earned pennies as possible.

This blog shares ways to create a well-designed home, plan parties and transform junk on a shoe-string budget using some elbow grease, spray paint and a sense of humor.

I've dug in dumpsters, pulled castoffs out of alleys, even found treasure in an abandoned house - wouldn't recommend that little adventure.
Yes, I am one of those crazy people who not only gets up at the crack of dawn on Saturdays to yard sale I even have a yard sale app! If only I could have a penny for the number of times my husband has yelled at me not to bring any more "junk" in the house only to find it transformed a week-month-sometimes-year later into a thing of beauty. I have an obsession and need to infect others with it! That's where you come in. 

Do you too look forward to large trash pick-up week, long for the glorious six months that makes up Yard Sale Season or have a crush on Krylon spray paint? If your answer is yes, then you've found a soul sister. 

Stop by everyday to see transformations, junk gold and decorations on the cheap. You'll get to know me and my crafty, talented family - I didn't come by these excesses all on my own. I'll even share some of our favorite Baker-Moutoux Family & Friends recipes. All of us strive to live lives full of craftiness, family and food. 

Here's to building a life on a pile of junk!
