Make a Difference

One of my daily blog checks, Aesthetic Outburst needs your help. Actually, to be more specific the town of Owego needs your help. Intense flooding has put many out of their homes and jobs. Check this out:

 They are looking for donations big and small. Make an impact today and visit the site.

Thank you!

these are pictures of my labor day weekend thus far. got some garage sailin' in and got some really good deals! also hosted a lil cookout at our place. it was a lot of fun! got some before pics but not a lot of during/after. there's a little video at the end that's kinda cute to check out if you feel so inclined. hope you're having a nice end to summer wherever you are!!

whew! i'm tired, too much awesome for one weekend...

I have had quite the adventurous weekend!

Friday: Discovered Mad Men on Netflix (hey! i haven't seen season 4 yet!) Made for quite an exciting evening with The Mister.

Saturday: No derby practice, which meant I had time to clean a bit then go thrifting! Here's what I found:

9 fiestaware plates for $2? Sure, I guess I'll take them off your hands ReStore! Same goes with the cute vintage Disney World ash tray. $.25? Alright, I can deal with that. The paint scrapper was a household need, but I do have to say I love the wooden handle. The book? For my nephew, I'm so excited to have found it!!

Goodwill has been kind as well:

 We went to Graceland, and bought a souvenir or two. Not coffee mugs though because at $10 each it is just silly. Goodwill, however, offered this up for $.50, so we bought two!

This bowl is for my mother, although I do love it! We saw them at an antique store a while back and she has been trying to find them to collect them ever since. It seems her and her sisters all had some growing up :) When I saw it for $.56 at Goodwill I was ecstatic! Can't wait to deliver it to her!

ANYWAY, back to my adventurous weekend!

After an awesome thrifting trip, I went to get my hair did. A friend (well, actually, we have a mutual ex! ha!) is an amazing stylist and is working at a new shop. I decided to show her some love and make an appointment. I got the hair off my neck and am feelin' pretty good!

So after that, it was derby time!! A friend of mine (one of those rare ones that you've been close to since you were 3) came up to visit and see our derby league. I was not competing this time around, but was announcing! We had an absolute blast, as it was a very exciting game! Check out the Twin City Derby Girls, we're definitely up and coming!

Then, we slid on over to Memphis on Main to see a localish rockabilly act: The Hillbilly Jones! They do originals, but for this set did lots and lot of covers too! It was 3 hours of rockin songs that I never get to hear live!

*Sigh* This weekend rocked, and I still have my lazy Sunday ahead of me :)

Thrifting Fate

It was meant to be!

You know my last post when I found this gold wastebasket? That was $3?

Thrifting and Bouting

Finally, a little thrifting action that was worthwhile!

Check out my glorious new wastebasket! Only $2 at ReStore!

um... thrifting?

So I don't know about you, but summertime is supposed to be golden in the thrifting world. So what's up with all the figurines lacking body parts? See below:
