I admit it shopping is therapeutic for me at times...well allot of times! But in order for it to be a truly rewarding purchase it has to be an item that speaks to me. What it doesn't have to be, is expensive. Sure I love expensive shoes as much as the next girl, but I also take pleasure in finding items that are quirky or that for whatever reason make me smile. I like to go to antique stores with a limit and my limit is low...like $20, and I like to see what I can find for that. These three were all $5 and all three put a smile on face.

The cutest girliest apron ever! I can't make cupcakes without this on.


Glass beaded plates and platter. Useful and beautiful and $5 for all of them.



Carnival glass pitcher. An antique find that was a little dingy...after washing it sparkles. I can't wait to make iced tea.

These adorable glass mushrooms are only $15 at www.arhaus.com. My favorite, the limey green one!

These clocks by Heads Up Design Co. are super cute. I love the Moocoo clock and Ewecoo clock and I know Kenna would like the Meowcoo clock!

High school in the 80's! In a few weeks it will be my "cough cough...20th... clear throat" high school reunion. Yikes! A friend of mine also has her reunion on the same day, so she asked me to put some potential outfits together. This will be my first and probably last fashion post, so enjoy! I thought I'd have fun with it though and gave the outfits fitting labels.
