Birds Of A Feather

AHHH it's good to be back!   I certainly have not stopped thrifting just haven't had the internet connection! Chris and I turned off our internet at home because of the unreliable service, most days I couldn't even use it.

Enough about that...on to the goodies!

I picked up two UGLY...FUGLY gold peacocks for only $1.99 ea. I loved the shape of the bird but obviously not too crazy about the color. I had originally wanted to paint them a high gloss white but quickly changed my mind and decided to do something a little out of the norm. I luuuurrrvvveee color. So I sprayed them oxford blue! I looooove how they turned out and even got Chris to agree to let me put them in our room when we move!

Before

After (ignore the mess..we're packing!)

One of my FAVORITE finds of late will def have to be my platform BCBG sandals. I picked them up at Goodwill for $3, they retailed for $198! I have only gotten to wear them once but I love how they fit :)

I also have picked up assorted prints for the new house each $5.

On one of mini Goodwill adventures which was basically all over South Carolina, we picked up a gorgeous stand up globe for $10!

On the same trip we picked up a SOLID wood KING headboard for ONLY $15! 

Chris makes it look small :)

After eye balling a desk at a local furniture consignment store( Making Ends Meet on Thomas St, FC- for the locals) I finally talked  begged Chris to buy  it for me, its new home will be in my craft room and at only $60 I couldn't ask for a better deal!

On a recent shopping excursion I spent 38 bucks on a gorgeous orange chair, a LARGE coffee table and a green lamp!

I'm Still Alive

I am still alive and kicking it...just been busy with two jobs and have now taken on a third temporary job. I have been up to my old tricks thrifting..I have picked up the usual...clothing and knick knacks...but I did pick up a KING SIZE headboard for $15!

Clover

Clovers are pretty special to me.Chris always picks me 4 leaf clovers instead of flowers which I love.  When Chris found one the size of my palm behind our house I just knew I had to dry one out to frame and hang on our gallery wall for us to remember our first house by. Right now it is pressed between a large book, another book on top AND our HEAVY old rotary phone. I will update as soon as it has dried! :)

The first one he found

Great News

Chris and I received some great news last week. I didn't want to say anything until we found out for sure but...WE"RE MOVING! We love our little house but we were made an offer we couldn't refuse(Im saying this in the Godfather voice). Like I said in my last post Chris' grandmother passed, her house was already paid off, they wanted family to move in the house to keep it up. It's a 3 bedroom ranch style house. We wont be moving for a few months because the bathroom is going to be remodeled, cleaned out, carpets cleaned and we're going to paint. We are excited and a little sad to be moving out of our first house so soon. I can honestly say that this has been my favorite place to live...except for the neighbors...I can do with out them....HAHA. I can't wait to show before and after pics. :)

WHAT?!

So I know I said a few months ago I wouldn't buy any "new" clothing but Chris' grandmother died and I was in a pinch so I bought a new dress. I call it an investment, it helps me sleep at night. I figure I can wear it to funerals and weddings which are about the same thing...right? HAHA..I amuse myself. I really wish I would have gotten a great picture of Chris and I dressed up but I didn't. I broke down and went to Belk...scoured the sales rack and came across the beautiful dress...it was originally $127...hahaha they are outta their mind..it was marked half price...THEN an ADDITIONAL 50% off...so thats right I got the dress for a whopping $32!  Score one for me!

This is where I would post a photo but Blogger is being updated. Its a retro cut, sleeveless, white with large black flowers and the most precious sash. Will post photos later! :)
