Signs your a thrift store junkie...............................................................................
1. Going to your favorite store is a routine, and weekly event.
2. Your closet is FULL of vintage pieces-yet you lack the guts to wear them
3. You can wear an entire OUTFIT with thrifted stuff- minus undies, bra, and socks.
4. When you happen to be at the mall, a little voice inside your head says...don't pay for that you can find it at the thrift store for a dollar.
5. You completely lose TIME inside the store, an hour feels like 10 minutes.
Well as you can see, I am a self confessed thrift store junkie. Always shopping with good intentions.

Oh Man- sorry
I have no excuse on why I haven't blogged. I have the time, and energy but just get consumed with other things that doesn't involve the computer. I've been thrifting on limited funds, and intend to post about 5o or so items on etsy, when I get up the guts to spend a few hours on the computer uploading the photos.
I did go to the beach and here's the picture- it was fun, I love looking for shells and making sand castles the best, you wouldn't be able to tell with the look on my face-

making bread- the old fashion way
Yesterday- after posting about my summer time blues I decided to make old fashion bread. Since I have time on my hands I could do it. Making bread the old fashion way means waiting 45 minutes kneading, waiting 45 minutes kneading, waiting 45 minutes kneading. It seems like a lot of work, however the pay off is the most yummy bread in the world. Even though I goofed the recipe, it came out awesome. Now here's a little secret about me..................I am the worlds MESSEST cook- the kitchen looked like a disaster but who cares, I certainly don't ( ha ha) oh= I also watched a few DIY vid's on t shirt cutting and decided to try it. It was wonderful
Heres a pic of the bread loaves- to me it looks like lungs or something- love it

SUMMERTIME BLUES

Sorry about the long stretch without a post. I have come down with a serious case of the summertime blues. I think it might of started coming on when my bank account was empty, the idea of going back to work is creeping up, and I'm just plain bored. To counter the summer boredom feeling , I am volunteering twice a week, teaching art and tutoring reading. I walk my dogs everyday, maybe twice. I've been attending ZUMBA every night. That is getting old too. Taking pictures to eventually post my vintage crap on etsy. But I'm not really happy with the photos of the items, the camera doesn't give the items justice. Oh well.

Now a brighter note about summer and life-
My son is attending summer school so he's busy, I like that.
My house is clean, a upside to the boredom. Me and my pups get lots of exercise. I will soon have room in my thrifted closet if I sell stuff on etsy. I've painted my nails a bunch of times. The garden is growing, and we will soon have lots of fresh organic veggies. I can spend time with my grumpy old man. And the birds have been singing really pretty songs outside my window. Last but not least, I made a funny video I may post.
a clean kitchen, this is rare and only documented once in a while |
Silk worm update- a few have died, because they couldn't make a cocoon fast enough, I think they may have been over crowded, so I moved some. I hope it works.
