thrift finds

So my friday post didnt happen this week..I think I should of thought first about doing a thrift post on friday as most of my finds are on the weekend..So from this week im going to change it to Monday's..Silly me..
I didnt find much this week. Well actually I only found one item..

I went to this estate sale marked most items $5.00. Well im not sure where they were as everything was hugely over priced..dresses at 150.00 jewelry at 60.00..now dont get me wrong these items were beautiful, but I dont think they warranted the price tags on them..

On Saturday hubby and I went into the Mission district and found a great thrift store that actually was not badly priced I was very happy.(I didnt find anything there this time but at least I now know where to go)The problem with San Francisco is that all of the thrift stores I am finding are hugely overpriced..I mean 26.00 for a gap sweater(REALLY)But im back up to Roseville this week so hopefully I will find some bargins...

So without any further ado...here is the vintage blouse I did get at the estate sale..I paid 7.00 for it which is not to bad but not a steal..

Loving the Green.......

Loving these two rooms right now.....I'm thinking i need to find me some green...

cyber shopping

Before I start cleaning I thought I would do some window(screen)cyber shopping....
Here are a couple of pics of things I would love..If I had some of that stuff called MONEY!!!

arent these soooo cute..They would really brighten up my drab kitchen....

These would be perfect for a cold San Fran..day

and these would just be perfect to start my morning of coffee...

Honey do list..I think

Score I have a pair just like this..Its true when they say fashion comes back around. I bought my pair 15 years ago from Top shop when I lived in england..I think I just might have to dig them out of my closet...See hubby they were worth lugging from country to country...

What would be on your wish list this week...

busy busy busy....

I ve been busy making our flat feel homey as well as making rings, painting furniture( step by step post coming soon..)and trying to help our poor dog pepper settle in...well really both of us..I have to admit I have been having a really hard time with this move(I know I move accross the ocean from one country to another and found it easier then this move)But im trying to stay positive and excited..everyday i go on a walk(a long walk 2-3 hours)to try and get to know whats around and i must admit I do enjoy that part of my day...Some days I take photos and others I am in my own little world and forget but, I thought I would show you some of the pics I do manage to take....

If I keep walking up steps or the hills in this city I am going to have legs like Arnie or a but like J-lo....

But its worth it every time. When I get to the top and see a view like this....

The flat is starting to look like a home...but boy its been hard work, hubby has been working long hours.So its pretty much been down to lonely old me to unpack everything...( I will post pics soon)

   Today is suppose to be a nice day, So I think i'm going to walk up to Filmore St. and check it out. I'm also going to take my rings into a little boutique up the road from the flat and see if the lovely owner Kendra would be interested in selling them..Keep your fingers crossed..

I hope all you lovelies have a wonderful day and maybe get to see some sunshine...
