Friday Favorites

Today has been an absolutely craptastic day.   It started crappy and continued in that manner through the lunch hour.  In an effort to take my lemons and make lemonade I found some pretty things to put a smile on my face.  After all it is Friday!  Just the sound of Friday makes me feel better already.

My new favorite Etsy shop:  Tiny Owls Magic Attic  She sells patterns and I am pretty sure she is a yarn genuis, like the Bill Gates of Knitting or something.  Go check it out.  Soccer and baseball are starting soon, might be a good time to relax and work on a little knit magic.

As long as I don't step in a dog turd on the way home...I should be good to go for a good weekend.  And if I do...well, it wouldn't be the first time.

Happy Friday folks!

Friday Faves-Pretty in Pink....and blue

I was reading LA's blog today and stumbled onto a new fave.  Scathingly Brilliant...I would have to agree, the name says it all.

I want this print badly.

I found this treasure on the curb.  I really need to look into buying an old truck.  I drive a Honda, and the Honda shows zero love for dumpster diving. I had a trunk full of groceries,  two kids strapped into car seats (they were mine, so no worries), and a front seat full of clutter from the week before.  If I had a truck I would have left with two paintings, an end table, and maybe two chairs.  (raising fist in air in fury)

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend!

Handmade and Vintage Love

I don't remember how I stumbled upon these two Etsy shops (probably Pinterest), but I am in love with both!

What are you crushing on for Valentine's Day? 

Favorite Etsy find!

Are these not the coolest rugs ever?  Dying over these right now.  Found here.  The Talking Squid on Etsy.  I want them all.

and pillows too!  All made from recycled T-shirts.  I want to buy them all.  Go now.

Bad Blooger

Yes I know the title of this post says bad blooger.  You know what i meant to say, but this is actually how i feel.  I am tired and headachey and see a lot of housework and laundry in my future.  Hopefully this second cup of coffee will kick me into gear.  I spent most of this past week stocking my etsy shop.  I still have tons more pictures to take and photos to upload.  I am trying to get things ready to transition into working at home...and all the sickness around the house has made all of us a bit tired and cranky.  I posted of ton of 1970s moo moo's.  It's like the dress up sweatpants...with leggings and a belt...so comfy.

 I finally got around to posting some of my vintage slip dresses.  I have a couple really beautiful ones from the 1950's and 60's.

Here are some of the fun things i thrifted the other day that i will be posting on Etsy soon.

 I love embroidery bags.  This is a clutch and in perfect condition.  I might have to hang on to this one for a bit.

 I've been collecting these old metal lockboxes for a while.  I have a couple that I have covered with paper, but I love this one just as it.

 These are my goodies from a lunch trip to my favorite thrift store!  I love the crocheted mittens.

and this old shower cap...love love love...thrifting is one of my favorite things to do.
