thrifty monday

i stopped by my favorite local thrift store yesterday. i was looking for inspiration for christmas presents... i found a few treasure for myself, i'm afraid. this cute little christmas set with napkins, place mats and coasters. i've already re purposed the coasters into a garland for my bedroom door!

and this beauty is part of my birthday gift. i found this hutch and thought it would go perfectly with our table! i was right. and the best part was it was on sale for next to nothing!

a little treasure

woodland dinnerware! what can get better than that... not sure, but i found 3 of these bowl like plates. i have that basic style in the robins egg blue. i love half price finds at the care and share.

progress

this weekend much progress was made in the sock adventure. i muddled through the knitting instructions, fudged some things, and it worked out quite well. i've worked the heel, the hardest part of all and now its smooth sailing onto the toe! cozy feet yet to come before spring!

this is for angie! you have wonderful taste. how would i ever furnish my home without your good eye, and tip to this lovely danish modern kitchen table!!!!!!!! i am in love with it as is jason.

thrifting around town

my day off is monday. coincidentally my monday errands take me right by my favorite local thrift store! rarely do i resist the urge just to take a quick peek to see whats new. i was especially glad this week to have found this awesome 1940's brownie. i have big plans for it! i hope to use it to take "through the viewfinder" style pictures.
today was 1/2 price sale. in which i found these adorable salt and pepper shakers and tons of vintage ribbon. i hope to get some plain brown wrapping paper, and adorn my presents with this fun ribbon. simple pleasures. 7$ indulgences are hard to pass up.
