often as you can....so.much.fun! who doesn't like shakin' their rump to
hip old school songs in the comfort of your own home?

we spent a good chunk of the day visiting various
thrift stores and it was crazy how much we scored. the back of the trunk
was full of bags of goodies, it was amazing! here are a few things i
walked away with...
some super cute and not to mention comfy fabric slip ons. they make my feet so so happy :)
my
eagle eye spotted this dolly parton album from across the room and i
knew we needed to add it to our ever growing collection. isn't she just
the most adorable? who doesn't love big hair, high-waisted jeans and a
little bit of country twang?
my
brother-in-law spotted this little roadrunner made from sand for us. it
goes perfectly with our roadrunner plate we got in mexico a year ago.
best brother-in-law, ever!!
i also scored this sweet vest! the pattern and colors are amazing! a tad too big but i have plans to fix it and i can't wait!
 |
| yes, yes, the cat is kinda a creepy but that is the whole lure of it! |
lastly i scored this amazing find! now the nerd in my
couldn't get over how exciting this find was and i hope someone out
there can appreciate it too. what is this you ask well....it is a
mystery puzzle! COOL RIGHT?!?!?! it comes with a little booklet and the
puzzle has hidden clues to help solve the mystery! brilliant! i can't
wait for a rainy day so i can get my sherlock holmes on!
we
had such a blast that day and we hope to be up again to go on another
thrifting adventure! any amazing finds lately? any nerdy ones i should
know about?hehe

Deletexo,

Thanks! I haven't done a post yet, i'm a little slow but definitely doing one in the next day!
DeleteIt's so weird, here it is only called op shopping! But thrift makes more sense! :)
What a cute post!! Firstly I love the photo of you kinecting it up! :) Secondly, how cute is Dolly on that record cover? I adore old covers, they were so much more fun and innocent compared to today. Thirdly, that vest looks almost like the background of your blog! And fourthly (is that a word) that's so sweet you're all excited about your mystery puzzle! Have fun girl!
ReplyDeletei know dolly is just sooo cute but if you see her now...poor lady...too much work done :( aaah you are so right about the vest! maybe that is why i love it so! hehe fourthly is totally a word, im sure of it! i am too excited for words for my puzzle :DDDDDD
DeleteI love seing people's awesome thrifty finds, and these are excellent!
ReplyDeleteAlso it's a bit random but can I just say that you have amazing natural beauty, y'know, the kind that comes from the inside? It really shows through in these photographs.
thanks suki, you are the sweetest and reading that this morning made my day, thank you i needed that :D
DeleteAmazing finds! You must be super happy with it! And you look too cute on the picture with the fabric slippers hah!
ReplyDeletethanks elisse! i want to wear those shoes all the time!
DeleteThis looks like so much fun! I need to go thrifting soon. Did I mention how much I love Dolly Parton? Because I do! Awesome find ^_^
ReplyDeletehave you heard her bluegrass album? SO GOOD!!!! i recommend that to anyone who wants to listen to a good dolly parton album!
Deleteomg I am OBSESSED with kinect dance central game!!! One of my friends have it and I swear that is the best way to trick me into working out to make me dance! I love it so much and the song selection--LOL Old school! :)
ReplyDeleteyey to thrifting! :) I am sooo interested in the mystery puzzle!!! eeek! :) <3
xoxo.

i know dancing is such a great workout and i think of myself pretty active and i am always sore after dancing! i have to say dancing is my FAVORITE way to workout!
Deletebad gird do it well ;D now whenever i hear that song i think of YOU!
I want to be friends with Kelly! I also want her hair :) I also want to be the third wheel in your kinect dance parties. (PS I have a kinect so if you ever wanna come over and play feel free to do so, my door is always open just be prepared to be murdered....I'm a really good dancer)
ReplyDeleteeverytime i see a picture of her i want pink hair so fing BAD! you always welcome to come play with us and if you do get ready to be served pretty lady! ;D
DeleteI just came back from thrift shopping myself! It's an adventure every time. So fun! Just Dance is only the BEST EVER GAME I've ever played. I just got a Kinect for Christmas and my sister comes over at least once a week to play. It's a blast!!! Glad to see there's more people jumping on that bandwagon ;)
ReplyDeletethrifting is one my many favorite things to do, it is an adventure every time :)
Deletei've scored some good things lately, but have yet to document them. that trivial pursuit you're holding up there? we had that one while i was growing up, i used to take the box of cards & read them on road trips. needless to say, my family hated playing the actual game with me :)
ReplyDelete-erin
oh yea that is trivial pursuit! we didn't have one so we picked it up along with my mystery puzzle. we played yesterday and some of the questions are soo hard! since it is old some of the questions are outdated and all the entertainment are about movies that we have never heard of before! still really fun and we learned a lot!
DeleteI love thrifting! It is my fav! Those are some awesome flats you found. I am now following:) Visit my blog and follow back if you would like. I would love it if you did:)

sounds like such a fab time, I LOVE LOVE LOVE finding vintage/charity/thrift things & you got some great stuff there (esp love the creepy cat puzzle book, tres cool)! And am loving your outfit, so very cute! I'm determined once the weather stabilises to start wearing more cute outfits, there's been too much jeans for too long now :D xox
ReplyDeletethanks sweetie! its funny that everyone loves the cat puzzle! yay im not the only nerd out there, heheh! but jeans can be so great too but i know what you mean. you just gotta mix it up sometimes :)
DeleteThis post is so cute, I love the creepy cat puzzle! Also you scored a mighty fine pair of flats lady:D
ReplyDeletecreepy cat puzzle has been getting a lot of buzz! i can't wait to unravel the mystery!
DeleteI've never even heard of a mystery puzzle but that sounds pretty darn fun. Good scores, girl! I love the roadrunner :) Aren't thrifting days the best days?
ReplyDeletei wonder if they still make them...hmmm but if they dont they should! the road runner is adorable and he is not up on our wall in our bedroom :)
DeleteGreat finds! Love that cute fabric slip ons dear, pretty. Kinect is sure fun, great shot.

what a sweet stop off after a long day of work! seeing you girls and those awesome smiles...not to mention all the thrifting goodness. well i'm set off with mad love. feline Pharaoh!!!!!!! can't quite get over that one, it's epic. kinect is SO getting researched - awesome how Dolly could have almost been inserted right beside you girls ;)
ReplyDeletelooks like one hell of a fun day, one i wish i could jump inside with you all!!
i'm super sorry for taking my time-out literally & not visiting sooner! after receiving your comment, which was out of this world amazing to read, i really should have at least sent you something back right away. thank you for the sweetest message ever and for being so understanding about my motion towards dropping the veil down a bit more to expose "things". i am hanging in and on - your feedback + prop ups was sweet solace!!! you didn't hurt my feelings at all, completely the opposite. i was thrilled you thought i was in the same age group as you, totally made my day. xo ♥
yes feline pharaoh was an epic score for me. i am currently staring at it right now ;) it is calling my name! hehe
Deleteno worries lynn, i totally understand. you have a lot going on. i am glad that my comment could do some help. i am always here for you if you need me. i hope things are getting better for you and hope to see your pretty face soon!!! xxoxoxoxoxox
Learning how to sew (some day) is going to open the thrifting world for me. Like that vest you found - it's really awesome that even if it doesn't fit, you can make it into something that does (or something else entirely).
ReplyDeletehahaha that puzzle looks pretty interesting...but then again I like anything with cats involved. I freakin LOVE that vest! Can't wait to see how you wear it. I have to say, not a big fan on Dolly's music. Something about her voice just makes my insides flop around and I really can't stand it. Her as a person though, I think she's awesome. She's done a lot of really great things in her lifetime, and those high waisted pants ARE pretty cool :)
ReplyDeleteaww looks like such a fun time thrifting & you & your friend both look so so adorable!! Amazing find on those shoes, hip "modern" & comfy ones can def be a challenge to thrift & that vest has me swooning as well. Such a hoot on that calendar & thank u for your super sweet comment btw, I love when ppl actually take the time to share something back- sounds like an awesome trip! What did the kelp taste like btw?
