Thrifting With Sister

 Yesterday Sisterface and I went thrifting (my favourite 2 things you know..!!) 
K didn't get too much...I came home with a few things, as usual. As I was taking pictures to show you guys...Harrison was getting in the way..so I have attached the first attempt at a picture, and then the actual picture, after I removed him from it! hahahah It was getting a little annoying.....So I got:
A Style at Home mag, the game Rack-O (because Mike and I love to play games) A cute pattern for jumpers and cute dresses, a metal heart hanger, 2 mason jars, a rolling pin and a cute wicker candle holder!
 I also got this wicker plate stand thing. So the question is, do you think I should paint it or leave it this colour?
 This cute white box...Harrison had to smell everything! hahahah
 And I got this cute dress that everyone thinks is ugly, except me. hahah Harrison liked to lay on that!
 How could I be mad at this cute little fluffball?
 Kayla and I also stopped at the mall, just to go in Forever 21. I got this cute shirt and ring. Love them!!

And thats it! I am off to make breakfast for my mom, so I will have to post about her later! Have a great day and spoil all the moms in your life!!! They deserve it!

A very successful day!

 Well, today was a lot of fun with the girls! We went to 3 thrift stores 45 min away, out to lunch, then came back and went to 2 more close to our home. It was a very successful trip for me, but not so much for K or T!! I got....
tray stand, cute white ikea candle holder and some books: dexter, diet for a small planet (a book that has been on my must read list forever!), Ecoholic, a house and home mag, and a wedding mag......shhhhh don't tell Michael!! I just loved the little candle holder and for only .29 it was a steal!
 I also got a cute bag with burlap inside, a cute black and white top, and a salmon coloured one. I love salmon right now!!
This tray....
Which is drying as we speak..guess what colour I picked?! White of course. I should be down guarding it from this boy.
The little cabinet I painted had little feet marks in it! There were also white paw prints on the hallway floor.......
 And this lovely picnic basket!
 (which I plan to use a lot this summer with Michael!)

 So there you go! I was very lucky and found a lot of good stuff! Now it is time to find a spot for everything and clean the really messy craft room!
I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend!

Beautiful Flowers

 Do you remember the flowers Mike got me, just because?!
I posted about them April 15..they are still kicking! The roses and a few of the greens were on their way out...so I split up all the flowers...
 I put some in a cute, white tea pot....
 In a vase in the kitchen.....
 In a jar in the porch.....and............
 In a mason jar in the living room.
There is just something about flowers that make me happy. I can't wait for the garden to get growing, so I can bring some in from outside!!
