Thrifty Finds!

Recently I've been hitting the thrift jackpot, perhaps it's thrift karma? I've been doing some serious house cleaning the last few weeks and dropping off car loads of clothes, knick knacks and more to the local thrift stores.

I'm so excited about all my recent finds. I'm not sure I can pick a favorite although I must admit I've been looking for that "Try A Little Kindness" wall hanging for quite sometime so when I found it at a newly opened local Goodwill I probably shouted something about how it was my favorite thing ever...

I hope you all have a fantastic Monday! I've got a busy week a head of me! (PSST. I've got some really great kitty pictures for you later this week, Doctor Octopus was a really great sport and I can't wait to show you!!)

  40. I got paid back a lot of thrift karma points yesterday when I was at work (the library), I was given two nature books from the 60's that were going to be thrown out, my mom went thrifting at hot me a squirrel head magnet, vintage brown leaf dress, and a mushroom plaque!!! Then I came home and cleaned my bf's house and decorated it with forest knickknacks, dioramas, and forest creatures my boyfriend's dad, Ol' R gave me a wood acorn mushroom and moss sculpture he made in the woods (pics on my blog soon) and an empty terrarium with green felt floor!
