Findings Whilst Thrifting..

This past weekend Snavey Snave Snave and I thrifted our lives away! Literally. But I found some awesome finds which I'm superbly stoked about!  On friday{a day after this beautiful piece was put on craigslist}, I found the PERFECT chair for my dorm [you know a place for all my franss to place their bums while enjoying some good fellowship] but to my dismay it was sold THAT.DAY. I know I was kind of traumatized[my mom always told me I was over-dramatic, no wonder where my sister get's it from].

Moi Findings:
--An antiquey vintage chair. eight dolla dolla bills.
--A beautiful holder for all my junk necessities[A SHELF!]. fifteen dolla dolla bills.
--Stunna Shoess. two dolla dolla bills[each]
--THREE, Count 'em THREE embroidery hoops. fitty cent[each].

Snave's Slick Findings:
--A gold chain with the graduating class of '77 pendant.
--A vintage bathing suit. six dolla dolla bills.
--and she ALMOST(but no cigar) purchased an original batiking painting....of a camel...for TWENTY dollaaas. [Probs not her thriftiest find in the Blue Mountain thrift store{obviously it was ginormous, MOUNTAIN is in the name for geesh sakes!}]

In other BREAKING NEWS!
I am officially moved back into college!!!!
Exciting right? Sort of bittersweet. Summers over and the fam's at home but I get to reunite with some pretty rad frannnns.
{and I'm redecorating my room..I'm gonna make all the peeps jealous with my wood paneling TV--kickin' it old school right herrre.}

Hope you have a thrifty-decorating Tuesday!!!!
