salvation. army.

i got to do two of my favorite things yesterday...treasure hunt and be with my sister amy.
i was in my glory...raiding color coordinated racks at the salvation army and giggling and being silly with my gal. things tend to get a little wacky after staring and sorting through oddities for a few hours.
mondays are fill a huge bag up for $10 day ( i think that's the official title..haha)...and i'm addicted. we scored some beautiful vintage pieces, all for under .50 each.
yes please!
matt is getting a little nervous about his side of the closet every time i bring home more thrifted goods.
maybe it's time to open a little etsy to give good homes to some of my finds....
( and now that i'm looking at it, why didn't i buy that flapper girl/art nouveau polyester blouse? haha)

    Hi there! I found your blog from Jane Boston's blog roll.

    1. I also love the thrift store oh-so-much. Vintage baby clothes tend to take over my apartment and I have been thinking about selling them on etsy, too.

    2. I LOVE your oxford shoes. I've been looking for something just like that. Are they vintage/thrift? What kind are they?

    maren, i wonder if there is a place where we could collectively sell our stuff? i think there was a place kind of like that on livejournal, once upon a time.
    and the oxfords are from forever 21! brand new and cheap. haha. i just looked at their website and they have a few different cute oxford styles.
