*Lately*

this is what i've been up to:

hitting garage sales with my sis. i found these little doo dads. i think they're japanese buttons. i could be wrong, but i can't wait to scrapbook with them! they're so bright and cheery!

and another find...this precious retro phone. we don't currently have a land line, but it will sit in our kitchen and shine and be beautiful for now.

my brother-in-law and nephew got these for me from the market. a pleasant little Saturday morning surprise. one of the highlights of my day!

making silly faces with this guy. this is just one in a series. : )

having sister time. i seriously love it when we're all together!

laying in the grass and taking pictures of weeds.

trying to be artistic and taking trippy self-portraits.

adding to my collection of grandma-ish things (this pin is another garage sale find). i wore it today and it made me feel pretty. : )

And last, but certainly not least is - (drum roll please).... this beauty. Introducing the newest addition to our apartment. This little chair (you can use the word "grandma" again if you'd like). It's green and it's funky and it's gorgeous. $15 at a garage sale. It sits in the corner of our bedroom and I have to say, we've already gotten acquainted with each other. I can imagine I will spend many mornings cuddling up with her, coffee and book in hand. Chris, not understanding my vintage taste, hauled the heavy thing down our very long apartment building hallway, sat it down examining it and said, "You're lucky you're married to me." : ) Why, yes. Yes I am.

Have a good week!
