finally...a new phone

so i've had my phone for quite some time. so long in fact, my friends were making fun of me. aaaand when i asked the salesperson at the sprint store if i had an upgrade, he responded with "uh, for awhile."

sean and i are grown ups now i guess so we got our own shared plan and these awesome phones with sliding keyboards! mine is this awesome green one...

it's pretty cool so far. texting is a hell of a lot easier and everything seems to work together nicely. no complaints yet!

Thrift Store Tuesdays

today we went to our favorite thrift store. usually when we go there, there are so many great things we can't decide which to take home. today, that was not the case. i think because of the holidays things are a bit slow. i am willing to bet they pick up once everyone has their new years resolutions in place to clean things out...

despite the lack of tons of things we would love to have there were a few good finds today.

find #1 was this christmas tree dish. it was so very retro and cool i could not pass it up. yes, i do realize this was someone ceramic project from the 70s... but it matches my stuff :)

find #2. a beautiful and very large juicer. who juices things? i don't know. but it was $2.99 and so pretty. if i make homemade lemonade once it will be worth it.

find #3. theeeeeeeee best find of the day. at least in the opinion of the graphic designer. this set of 24 vintage christmas cards had to be mine. aaaaand i love them. now the question is cherish them forever in all their vintagey goodness or use them?

Beautiful Buffalo Fridays

finally, after lots of thinking about what the heck i would write on my blog i came up with some ideas to get me posting. my mom and have lately been spending a couple hours every tuesday thrift storing and coming up with some fabulous finds. blog posts: thrifting through tuesday. AND, as you can see from my sidebar i am in love with buffalo (shhhh don't tell my fiance). i think everyone should know a little more about buffalo and the surrounding community. blog posts: beautiful buffalo fridays. maybe someone will even find something to do on the weekend then. in the future there might be another day or 2 but for now 2 is my best shot.




BEAUTIFUL BUFFALO FRIDAYS: VIDLERS 5 & 10

want to take a step back in time? vidlers five & dime is for you. great anytime of the year, but the holidays always seem like the best time to go. located in east aurora, a suburb outside of buffalo it fits right in the old time village. vidlers has been open since 1930 and is still owned and operated by the same family.



anything you can imagine - you can find it here. from old fashioned candies, to every crafting supply possible, toys (even the nostalgic ones), whirly gigs, home decor and every shape cookie cutter known to mankind. the store is huge, when you are in it, you can't believe there could be another room of more things - it seems to go on forever. they even have the penny scale (which still only costs a penny!)

nostalgic christmas shopping at its best. just like in the movies...
