A very vintage weekend...

This weekend consists of taking pictures of my beautiful, vintage inspired, little sister Megan, some thrifting in hopes of some vintage finds and taking in a movie in a local old theater with my wonderful husband. Here to the weekend, hope you enjoy yourself and find joy in the little things.

Thrifty Thursday!

I am always on the hunt for a good thrifted item or two, always hitting up the local shops to see what's new. The great things is during the summer time my thrifting goes up to a whole new level with yard sales! It is a whole new level of thrifting, it opens all kinds of finds and deals that people are aching to get rid of which means a steal of a deal for me!

I picked up this mid century shelf at a yard sale for only $20! It is solid wood and in perfect condition. I am going to paint it white, line it with wallpaper on the background and put it in Ashley's room. Her stuffed animals and trinkets will look great on it!

I also snagged this mint green candelabra for only $2 at a local sale! It is beautiful, solid, a little aged looking and even has some candle wax still on it, perfect!

The weekends ahead excited me, I can't wait to score that next find! I really do believe that one (wo)man's garbage is another (wo)man's treasure!!

How about you? Have you found any great yard sale treasures or scored something great second hand? Do tell!!

Thrifting on a rainy Tuesday

Today it has been raining all day. The two little ones and I were feeling cooped up this morning so my Mom and I loaded up the kids and headed to our local Goodwill for some Thrifting. Sometimes the thrift store can be hit or miss, but today must have been our luck day because we scored some good stuff at a great price! Here are a few of our finds:

The San Fransisco 49er's are my husbands "TEAM" and we are going to be celebrating the Superbowl in a big way! We both love football and the Superbowl and what could be more fun than having your team in the big game? I have been scoping out the stores and thrift stores looking for fun ways to decorate on a dime. Today we hit up the Goodwill and found these great Football glasses, and for only 69 cents a piece they were a steal!! Just imagine them full of root beer with a fun straw!! Can't wait :)

Another great find today were these sweet little shoes for Miss Ashley from Old Navy and for only 99 cents you can't go wrong! Could you die over those red and white bows on the back?!

And lastly I am always scoping out the game section. You have to be picky in that department, making sure it is new or still has all of the pieces. It is far and few between that I actually purchase a game but there are sometimes some good ones for kids. Zingo was only $1.99 and has all of the pieces, I am pretty sure that both of the boys can play this one. It says ages 4-8 but Liam is pretty good at matching pictures so I am sure we will all be playing this as a family tonight.

Sunday Shopping and Thirfting is in store for us today!

Today it is raining and windy here in Washington, what better way to spend the day than shopping and thrifting?! My Mom, Meg and Ashley and I are off to hit up any and all sales along with all of the local thrift shops. I am hoping to find some more Halloween decorations for outside, a great sweater of some sort, a costume for JJ and maybe more picture frames like the one above. I got that at a thrift store with the original Target sticker still on it for only $1.99! I love it because it is blue and brown, the colors in my living room. It holds a sweet picture of Liam, the hubby and I on our summer vacation we took this year. There are so many great things out there that are "second hand" or can be found while scouring the thrift stores. I hope we find some good scores we can share here tomorrow!
