THRIFTY THURSDAY >> Hats, Ships, and Ornaments

Hey guys! I hope your week is going well, today is Thursday and tomorrow is Friday! On Saturday we are going to look at a house for the second time! This time we are taking our families, we both really adore this house, but may keep looking. Im excited but not as excited as Alex is. Today I give you some lovely super thrifty things!

 I am so excited about these lovely home ornaments. Not only do I love the metal ornaments, but these are way unique.

 You cant tell me that these bears on a bench arent adorable. We love them.

 Alex adores this lovely find. Some lovely Libbey glasses with ships on them, perfect beer glasses.

 I found this lovely hat and cant wait to wear it! Also, its my first ever union tag buy!

 Here is the inside of my hat! I couldn't believe I found a union label! If you visit here you can find tons of information on them!

Last but not least, this lovely little kitten ornament. Its so adorable!

THRIFTY THURSDAY>> Across the world and back

Lately I havent thrifted much, Im really enjoying the fall weather, and preparing for some great activities in the future weeks. I didnt have much of a turn out from my last weeks "Fall Craft Link Up" Im hoping that I do from the next one that I set up. I have tons of fun stuff planned and hope you guys can add your fun crafts to it! Hey, it doesnt even have to be a craft, making pumpkin cupcakes, thats fall related, and handmade! See, im not picky!?

 

So anyways, lets move on to the thriftyness. I know you guys are waiting to see what I found. I have always wanted a globe, one that matched, that was neutral colors, and wasnt plasticky. Is that a word?

So behold!

 

 

 

 

I know the pictures arent the BEST but, you can see the wholesome goodness, and a sneak peek of our home and my owl and camera collection! Today I linked up to Lara's Vintage, holy smokes Ive never seen Sandra's Page before, but im in love!

Hey Guys!

Well here is a group of beauties that we are about to add to the shop. Hopefully these will be up this week sometime, see anything you like? Well right now, if you go to our Facebook you can get free shipping or 10% off any item! Great deal right?! Thats what I thought!

My sister and I did a small bit of thrifting yesterday, and opened an account at the bank for the shop. It was fun thrifting, it had been a long week and I needed it. Alex and I then enjoyed our evening with some of the greatest friends! 

Today has been a relaxing day of cleaning, working on the blog(What do you think?) and being lazy. I can help but link up to Amy Morby @ http://amymorby.com/ because she provided the free little pieces of clipart that are just so AMAZING and easy to work with in Photoshop! A million thanks AMY!

While thrifting I picked up some much needed and wanted items I had been searching for. Here you go. (Disclaimer:These arent going in the shop! Alllllll mine!)

Arent they darling?! Its almost like noone had ever opened them. Alex and I want to have a dinner party and we would love to make it fondue and snacks! That would be sooo much fun! Not to mention at .29 a book I would love to have every old recipe book there!

I put them in my favorite little hutch with all my goodies!

Oh and I got this too. 

Oh and this is funny/cute.

His faces are great. He should be on the table but he was checking out the thrift finds. 

So I wanted to give you a little sneak peek into our home. This is our mantle in our condo, Its taken me a while to collect my owls, and the little readers digest books, but I love it. It makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Oh and I just found that "D" today!

How is your weekend? I hope your enjoying it, I know I am!

THRIFTY THURSDAY >> The Joy of thrifting

For many years I have been a thrifter. There's nothing like the feeling of searching high and low for something for months, or even years, and then finally, Omph! There it is!!!! My sister and I are complete opposites, however when we decided to go into this joint Etsy shop venture, we found thrifting to finally be something we could enjoy together, not only that but shes a modern chic lady, im totally vintage all the way! When we started the shop I let her browse around and showed her some key ideas for what could and could not be vintage/retro. Once she got into it I finally got to see myself from another view. Walking down the isles of the thrift store, searching everywhere, there it was, some thermoses that she had originally found, and she had found more colors!

 It was a great experience seeing her so happy to have found some similar and to know what they were! It was like winning the lottery. Oh, and just in case you wondered, the thermoses are in the shop! :) Happy thrifting everyone! May you find all your dreams!

THRIFTY THURSDAY >> Shop updates!

Hey guys! Long efforts to get better pics in the shop, I have added tons of new pics and some great new items. Check them out!

Arent they all great! If anyone has any tips on how to get better lighting, or make better lighting, oh how I would love that. Im very excited to be starting this journey, especially with my sisters help. Whether we fail or not isnt the question. Its the fact of enjoying such great time together and history in each and every piece we choose! If you havent seen the shop you can see it here.

Please visit our shop: One + One = 2



THRIFTY THURSDAY >> Black Friday

I hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving. This Thanksgiving I have been thankful for so much. I have such a supportive family, a loving and supportive boyfriend, and some past friend connections rekindled. Im so very thankful for my family, they have been deep in my thoughts lately, ive been doing alot of growing up this past year and its very great to have them behind me the whole way. Ive been working on an essay for class about my dad and that has him deep in my thoughts as well. Alex has been the light of my life these past 6 months, and I couldn't imagine my life without him. Hes so very good to me, he makes me smile every day, and never has ever given up on me. My two little kitties are also so close to my heart. They always are there to make me smile when I think things get too hard. Alex's family has been also very supportive, in my initiatives for an education. Its so great to have so many people around that care about you. Ive also rekindled some friendships that I once thought were lost. My heart is so full right now! I am so happy! Well, we decided that going out on black Friday is probably a terrible idea. So, we headed out, got some food, and started thrifting. Let me tell you! What a great idea it was. I got some amazing deals, and I spent under 13$!! Im only posting a few of them, some were clothing.

Dont you love it all?! I was so giddy, everything was so adorable. So I found the string art owl, lots of clothes, an owl trivet( I now have 2) , cute candy jar( like one my granny used to have), a really large glass with neat fonts of different foods, and an adorable flowered mug.

 

I love the fluted mug (someone correct me if thats not what they are called) Its so cute, and the string art owl. Well, I squealed a little inside. Did you go shopping today? We are spending the rest of the day relaxing, doing homework, playing video games, etc.
