IF it's more than $5 you don't NEED it.

This weekend mom and i went on a flea/thrifting adventure. i decided to go with my new motto "if its more than $5 you don't need it". i put it to the test and i walked away with about 7 bags full. WOWZA! i didn't spend more than 4.95 on anything. it was so much fun. we had lunch at Chipotle and then we headed home to rummage through our goodies.

.this is my new flight bag. IN LOVE!.





.just a preview of my new goodies.



.mom has so many cute things around the yard, i love it all. she got this wonderful red bike for free. i want it so bad.





hope your weekend was as fun as mine.
happy thrifting for everyone.

.the crochet project?.

for someone who doesn't know any stitches and doesn't really know how to crochet at all. i'm pretty proud of myself. all i did was start with the simple single stitch and away i went. the photos don't really show how bright pink that yarn is, but belive me its bright. my lighting in the house sucks. sorry. i just added some vintage lace i had and a cute button. its now a neckwarmer/scarf. can't wait to make some more. yay me!





this is the start of something in my bathroom. i never really have had anything goin on in there decor wise and so i think i'm goin to start with a collection of random stuff. my starting point was this wonderful screen print that my friend nicole gave me this past weekend and i love it. thanks bunches!



working on more as i type this. gotta get back to the goodie yarn.

.tinsel love.

while in springfield i picked up some lovely tinsel at one of the flea markets. i soon realized i need to make a tinsel wreath. i've been wanting to make a pretty wreath to be hung up all year round and i think this is goin to make the perfect one. just a little hot glue and some tinsel and away i went.







im really loving it but i feel its missing something. i'm goin for the nautical theme i think. thats what my living room is and i'm hoping to hang this in there.

any ideas? if so please comment.

NEWBIES!

All i can say is WOO HOO! i had a blast this weekend with all my new friends. i'm so excited that i had this chance to spend with them. i for sure didn't want the weekend to end so quickly. another trip has got to be in the works. we need to spend some more time together soon.
i didn't get many pictures taken for some reason but the few i did i'm happy with. i got to get one of baby ruby. love her already. visting RVA was fun and very sparkly. crafting time with the girls. thrifting was well worth it. i only spent $28.00 and walked away with 5 bag fulls. SCORE! jamie's idea of making huge polariods was so fun. can't wait to make some for myself and have mini shoots with them. eeek! so here are my weekend in pictures. love you girls!














again i had a blast and i love all you girls. thanks janel,kat,rachel,mandy,jamie,talisha,jen,elsie,erin,nicole.

love you
angela

Super Saturday!

Spending the weekend with some of the best blog friends. Took a trip to RVA, did some thrifting, caramel apple spice cider, Big Mommas, hotel room crafting. Enjoying the time to get to know each one of these girls!
*On to Super Saturday! This week all the crafting has brought out the kid in me and i keep thinking about going to the park and swinging on the swing set. so this weeks post is geared to how much fun swing sets can be. ENJOY!






What is your favorite park equipment?
