how was your weekend....

Mine..busy....
  Friday I went to an Estate sale...there wasnt much there..ok let me rephrase that there was tons there but not much for me...I did get some great vintage postcards from England that I am going to use as save the date invites for our renewing or vows ceremony in July..A cute little book and a Beatles lunch box for my son as he loves them...
  But I also went to a Goodwill Depot( now Im not sure if I am excited about this place or not..Cheap..Definately..But very dirty and smelly you just dig through bins of crap and hope you will find great things..
Which yes I did.

1. a vintage globe for my daughter ( I had found one the week before at my local GW but it was 24.00 Yikes)way to expensive but this one a 1.00 yes a 1.00.
2. some glass for my ceremony(its all going to be recycled)
3. 4 vintage dresses..yey me..
5. 3 books
6. vintage sheet
7. purse
 They weigh it all and then tell your price...and my total was... wait for it..
$11.00 I know right..Great deal.. So I guess I have to put the smellyness(is that a word) out of my mind and go there again next time im in my hometown..
I also picked up a new piece of furniture to work on form anothere thrift store...
Here are some pics of my finds...

I've been thinking....

What is my interior style??? Am I modern or country,shabby chic, or maybe contemporary????

And the answer is none of the above but all of the above..If I could I would have a different house for each style ok maybe thats a little extreme..but maybe a house with enough rooms for all my styles..

So of course im going to say my style is Boho Eclectic..

Here is some of my favorite rooms right now....oh and my dream country getaway.......

It was a busy week...I finished a dresser,posted it on craigslist,sold it,yey me!!!and then delivered it on sunday..Goodbye Miss margret..Soon I will have to keep a piece I finsh for me. I could do with something pretty to look at...
My sons best friends had there baby this week and he is just beautiful..So because they live in portland and all of there good friends live in calif..and my son is in Italy. I came up with the idea of making baby bohdi a blanket made out of the friends t-shirts..I finished it just in time and shipped it off last week..I hope they love it..
I really didnt do any thrifting this week as we did volunteer work this weekend, and also not having a car makes it extremly difficult to get around..But I did score these great mugs last weekend at an estate sale..and there was 6 of them!!!
We are off to Texas on thurs to see our good friends..Im so excited to see them..And I get to go to Austin!!!!!!Ive wanted to go there for a long time..I will take lots of pics and post them next week..
Hope you have a great Monday!!!

I have been MIA....

I have been having a pretty difficult time setteling into our new home and city..So, I havent felt upto being productive or writting on my blog..But as of yesterday I kicked myself up the but and said get over it..As my friend always says It is was it is..And I can't change anything for two years...
So, starting today I will be looking for the positive in this move(but I cant promise that it will be everyday..we all have some down days don't we)I will be just having alot less of them...

And today I started off with a bang...I took pepper for a very long walk..(poor thing I sometimes forget he is only a little dog and gets tired quickly)and then came home and finished this........

Please meet Miss Margret..




And though I would love to keep her..She is going up for sale today....
Hope you all have a great day...I know i'm going to...
