Trixie Dog

It has been a tough week. I'm not looking for a pity party, but if it happens I'll put my party hat on.

A week ago today my doggie escaped the backyard, and we live on a busy street. She was hit :( After overnight stay in the hospital and many trips to the vet she's home now and gaining pep in her step.

Trixie the night we got to bring her home.

Amazingly, she didn't break any bones, but she did have a bit of head trauma as well as fluid in the lungs. She's such a badass though and it trotting around as I type. It is so amazing to see how quickly she is able to show her personality again.

Trixie today :)

She is still quite sore, and you can see the intense bruising on her chest. She also is too sore to do stairs or jump on the couch like normal, but I know she'll get there. I just can't wait to watch her run circles in the backyard again.

Anyway, thought I'd give an excuse for my non-posting. Perhaps today I'll find some time to research something cool and post about it. It has been a while since I've used this blog for anything but personal info! haha

thrifting and a saturday with the pets!

i got an awesome haul at ReStore! doesnt this all go beautifully together? we don't have an ironing board so this lil guy is perfect! also, the kitchen has needed this clock for awhile. can't believe i actually found one!

the Lady Remington will be making it's way into my store soon!

Don't forget, blog readers get 10% off, see the coupon on the right of the screen :)

You're so new.

 ...on campus at the University of Illinois. This is the floor of a tucked away bathroom, and I'm in love.

This is our little mini bar! We just got this light and I'm so excited! We have 2 others like it! It is from one of our favorite bars, Mike 'N Molly's!

By the way, do you listen to Surfabilly Freakout??

It is a radio show I'm a part of playing surf/rock/psycho/garage/etc!
We are amazing, and play great music every Thursday night from 9-10pm Central.

Don't live in boring central Illinois? Listen live on the217.com

Tune in tonight!!!

eep!

FINALLY a craigslist deal! I got this: 

it was posted under the "free" section from Sunday, so I figured it would be gone. BUT it was on the way home from work so why not? It was on Bel Aire Ct, so it had to be good :) haha

I drove past and it was there!! AND it fit in my car!

Eep!!! Can't wait to rearrange the bedroom and do my makeup on this lil thang! Oh, the chair needs serious re-upholstery, but its just a cushion.. easy!

Thrifting and Planting

Hey there!

So I have finally taken some pictures of my recent finds. Nothing too crazy, but I have felt fortunate :)

The pictures are phone pictures, however, because I keep forgetting to steal the man's nice camera. BOO!
