This is F***ing Awesome

I hope everyone who celebrates had a great Easter! Because it was a bit rainy and overcast in Orange County my family and I didn't end up going whale watching like we had planned.  So instead we had a day at Ikea and then got cupcakes at Sprinkles.  This week I also went shopping at TJ Maxx and Old Navy and went thrift shopping with my momma!  I haven't been in a while which is disappointing because it is one of my favorite things in the world to do.  Even before the Macklemore song made it cool.  Here are some of my finds.




Not completely sure what I'm gonna use this wood bowl for yet. Probably rings and jewelry or other knick knacks.


Love this old Moonshine bottle. I'll probably use it as a vase.


Okay, I have no idea what exactly i'm going to use these old tea tins for but I HAD to have them. They are just too adorable and so unique.



Yes, another jar, you can never have too many jars.  I have a ton of foods that I've been wanting to organize lately so I'm not even close to being finished with my jar obsession.


I thought this was pretty cute and I could use it in our living room when we move in August for remotes or something.  I'm not really sure if I like the way it is or if I'd like to paint it and scuff it up.  I love nautical things but I'm kind of on the fence about the whole "anchor's away" thing.  Let me know your thoughts?  Is it cute as is or does it need a revamp?

Envelope Holder Revamp

I shared with you a few days ago that I bought an envelope holder at a local thrift store for $5 and I planned it revamp it so it wasn't such an ugly color.  To see the post about when I got the envelop holder look here.

Now, here is what it looked like before.

It was an ugly color; some areas were lighter then others for whatever reason.  The box is actually plastic although it looks like wood.  I had some white spray paint in the garage and decided to spray the box white.  Here is the box afterwards...



I think the white makes the design on the front stand out more too.
