Junk Bonanza Revisited

ok so i am FINALLY getting around to showing off some of my goods from Junk Bonanza . . . 


i found these sweet little playing cards . . . with a little help from the print shop {laminating} and my handy dandy glue gun we now have some super cute magnets . . . the little gal of the house thinks they are pretty fun too!

halloween tradition

for as long as i can remember my mom has made caramel corn for halloween {yummy caramel corn}. . .  i am quite certain it was a bigger hit with the parents than the kids!  just today someone posted this on my FB wall. . . when we trick or treated at your house, it was a RULE that I got the girls caramel corn . . . my mom is coming tonight i hope she is bringing me a little bag! {my own bag}

Holiday Goodness

More holiday goodness . . . these little gems are heading to Smith and Chang.

slight obsession #5

i don't even love christmas and i sort of loathe decorating for christmas so i am not sure why i love these . . .

oh but i do! 

Swap it! Swap it good!

last week a friend of mine hosted a SWAP MEET 


a gathering at which enthusiasts or collectors trade or exchange items of common interest


she is the girl behind Mill Street Vintage . . . her store is amazing! I can't fit my left leg into anything she sells but I love to look, and even more, I love to imagine who wore these frocks and what the occasion was {this is the lifetime movie girl in me}


ok so back to the swap meet . . . she had tables and racks set up in her living room/dining room  . . . we dropped our goods off at the front door then she and her sis set it all out in an organized fashion {i brought shoes, book, frames, pillows, clothes , a print} while they organized we sat out on the patio and enjoyed a cocktail {or two} and eats!


45 minutes later the doors opened and we rushed the swap scene . . .

i came home with a frame that needs a bit of TLC, a canvas print of a little girl playing piano {i have no idea what the hell i am going to do with that} two sets of vintage bracelets for cleo bug and more books!

i realize going through the drive thru at goodwill is quicker but it's no way near as fun! thank you gina for hosting a super fun night!
