starting a tradition

HAPPY MONDAY!!!! thank you all for the wonderful comments about my pictures from boston! i had so much fun taking them and then waiting for them to be developed! 

....so the mister and i have noticed a trend...one day out of the week he meets me at bart...we ride our bikes to thrift town and then go get mexican food! we noticed this pattern last thursday so we have decided to start a tradition...it is so nice because recently we haven't been able to go on bike rides together and it is nice to not cook one night and it is always a nice to excuse to spend some time together as he often works late and i feel like a don't get to see him much sunday thru tuesday. so last thursday the mister met me at bart and we were off to thrift town

i felt i walked away with some amazing stuff....i got some work clothes which wasn't soo exciting so i didn't take pictures of them but i got some stuff for the shop and will update the store in a bit but right now i am swamped with other side projects :D
  i found this really amazing woven knit shift dress that looks like it was from the 70's...i decided to take a picture of my outfit  while pretending to work...hehehe...and then realized that my toes matched the dress perfectly!
 another amazing hand embroidered wall art to add to the bedroom...
 and a really cute apron with pockets! i saw the pattern first and knew whatever it was i needed to have! now i can clean my house in funky style :) anything that helps brighten up my chores is awesome in my book! after the treasure hunt it was off to our favorite mexican restaurant for NACHOS!!!



what is your favorite thrifted item? i couldn't tell you mine...to many, i LOVE them all <3

    that's a great tradition! during the semester i usually have a taco tuesday ride out with friends or myself to my favorite taqueria. by all means, the time we have with loved one's should be spent discovering and experiencing the world around us together. good on you girl!

    Ooh nice finds! I am the same way with prints. If I like the print, I'm 90% sold on whatever it happens to be. That dress is great.

    Love the tradition idea. We are trying to do a breakfast on Thursday! Harder to do but I love that time together. Haven't been to Thrift Town in a long time. I think I might have to go check that out!

    i love traditions..my boyfriend and i aren't too good at sticking to them, but it's fun while it lasts.
    ok, you have to tell me about this thrift town store, i've been on the search for more thrift stores in the area.
    by the way, i love the blue shift dress. are you putting it in your store?
