Estate Browsing

I

visited an estate sale enexpectantly in my neighborhood the other day. I love rumbling through peoples old junk. Weird, huh? Well sometimes I find things that are very special and bring a smile to my face. And for dirt cheap usually.

Like these sweet embroidered table cloths or are they curtains? They are whatever I want them to be.

And I also found this pretty footed compote bowl which is up on my hutch bringing prettiness to my room. It probably is not an antique or valuable or anything, but ask me if I care. i think it is nice.

Can anyone tell me how to get the pictures to show up where you want them to? gosh

penny overalls

I went to our Goodwill "bin store" the other night with a friend who is really good at sorting through those bins. Can't wait to show you the many fun things we found...You pay for your treasures by the pound so as you can imagine this overall number my little man is sporting was mere pennies. It is sweet and timeless and shows off his many rolls. I love finding things for so cheap, and just look how cute he looks:)! By the look on his face I think he likes them too!

I might pull the trigger

This is probably an outfit I need this season. Found it at Old Navy. I am severely postpartum right now, and when I say severely, I just mean I have a long way to go before I'm in my pre baby size again. But I simply refuse to look like a frump wearing stretchy pants for much longer.
Sure, I'm limited right now. Can't wear a dress because I'm nursing. Can't wear anything that hugs my tummy or someone might ask when I'm due even though the baby is in fact here already.
I think I should just purchase some affordable things in my postpartum size so I can feel pretty this summer. Something for church and something for play maybe?
I just love this animal print old navy has (on the tank underneath in picture).

"shop by outfit"

Lately I love to go to one of my favorite clothing websites and click on "shop by outfit". It is so fun to see what they put together (and helpful too). I have this irrisistable desire to buy an entire outfit one day...It is getting stronger. It'll probably be soon, and I'll let you know when it all goes down.
Shopping by outfit at anthropologie or jcrew is fun for sure. Their clothes are beautiful, who can deny it? But shopping by outfit somewhere affordable, like Old Navy is just plain wonderful, bc I might could actually select all the pieces one day and throw 'um in my cart.oooh weeee. I'm excited just thinking about it!

sweet studs

I just loved these studs I saw at The Territory Ahead. They look sort of old and interesting.http://www.territoryahead.com/jump.jsp?itemID=9366&itemType=PRODUCT&path=1%2C2%2C6%2C180%2C486&iProductID=9366&sortBy=Sort by&page=1&onePage=1 Did the link work?

where shopping is a pleasure

Publix had all their Halloween stuff 50% on Monday after Halloween. My kids love to play dress up, and Olice especially LOVES masks! So I picked up a few of these at .70 cents a mask. I thought they were fun.

update

By the way, I did order one of the lightweight woven tunics at LLBean. I have really been enjoying it especially during this ambiguous weather we've been having. Lots of stores have this style of shirt this fall with the pintucks, and some have a bib front style which I also really like. The only problem is most of them cost $50-$60. LLBean's was the best price I saw at $39.
