As good as it gets

First of all, I've joined Instagram

That's a small step for mankind 

and a giant step for ME!

I know I'm so slow at some things 

I'm getting there!

Have a super fab week!

Point and shoot

Comfort over style this past weekend at the BBQ

I absolutely adore my new eyelash extensions!

All I do now is put a little foundation on and VOILA! I'm ready for the day!

It's so awesome!

I am waiting for a very important decision to be made either today or tomorrow

The anticipation is killing me!

Wish me luck and fingers crossed!!  This would be a huge blessing for me!

I have a huge vintage bedframe in my spare bedroom that this goes perfect with

I really need to show you all my home

Vain & Vintage

 

Vain & Vintage

One of my favorite stores ever

besides Goodwill of course

(which reminds me tomorrow is Sunday and the sale colors will be changing!)

got a little too excited just now

ok breath

Back to V&V

As you can see they've got so much to choose from

including vintage costume jewelry ( my personal fav), textiles, shoes, purses,

nightstands and everything in between

But the thing I love the most is

that it is SO affordable!

They even have a downstairs with discounted items

which is what I hit everytime

Found some real gems there.

To see more like them on facebook

The owner, Laura

keeps it updated by posting pic of many of her new in store arrivals.

I was also able to ask her some questions like:

What can people expect to find when people visit your store?
I think that one of the good things about my store is that you NEVER know what you might find there. I love to try and stock unusual items or things that are very difficult to find in our area. You can of course, find the basic antiques, vintage clothing, furniture,glassware etc... but I LOVE to be able to offer a few truly unique treasures to my customers.



What is your favorite era and why?
I think that my favorite era ia probably the 1920's. Women were front and center for at least a decade. The designs were fluid, curvy, sensual. The clothing was detailed and beautifully fitted. There was emphasis on everything feminine♥


 Where do you draw inspiration from?
I draw inspiration from so many different sources ~ blogs (yours is awesome!), antique shows (especially "The Farm Chicks" show), my talented friends and family, books and magazines, other shops, and my latest fun "time suck"...Pinterest♥♥♥

If you're into great deals and vintage finds

Love Sundays

I will be playing catch up today

with the dreaded laundry

Mikey makes a mean pile of dirty laundry

What is your Sunday routine?
I'd love to hear from you :)

Goodwill Hunting

*bsn=BRAND SPANKIN' NEW! (still had the tags on it)

Serious

No joke 

 

 

 I have never found this many items that were brand new

all during one shopping spree

I went crazy that day
All items except one were half off

(the final half off price was reflected in the pictures)

For those of you who don't know how that works,

Every Sunday Goodwill selects a color

And if the color of the tag on the item is the same color as selected then it is half price

How do I keep it cheap you say?

I make a strict rule of purchasing half price items only

however, I do get one "splurge" item per visit as a treat to myself

for working so diligently on finding those items :)

Don't get me wrong

it's work

but if you enjoy finding deals

it's worth every ounce of energy

I know it shows three items as splurges

but the green tank top was orignally $8 and the purple tie dye dress was $10!!!

My actual  spluge?

Blue native american sweater

that I will cherish forever

Now do you see why I have closet issues??

Check out my last goodwill hunting episode here

Speaking of good deals:
Today's "Daily Deals" at urbanog.com

is amaze

This sophisticated structured dress is only a mere $25

 

Happy Day!
