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].

[hopefully I can make something as cool as Janel did]

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!}]

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!!!!

Vegans and Dorms and Birthdays Oh MY!

DAY TWO is complete and although I endured temptatious dinner my amigos parents made me... I denied the meat. Whhhaaaat?! OKAY! Yes, me. I passed on the meat portion of the meal. As delectable as it smelled/looked and probably tasted I was a-okay with my mac-and-cheese and peas please. I just filled this rumbling tummy with some tasty pineapple and watermelon to top this baby off. PLUS or minus the choco-choclately chip cookies and chocolate peanut butter icing cake. I have realized that without meat, cheese in any form has filled in the appropriate spot in my heart and may or may not be found at some point with each meal I devour.  Three cheers for cheese! cheese! Cheese! CHEESE! From grilled cheese, cheese quesoDILLas[like Napolean Dynamite?], mac-n-cheese, grapes and cheese I have experienced and cherished it all. Personally, I feel like I've accomplished something.. granted it may not be world hunger, but shooooot you gotta start somewhere!

On a completely different topic, I'm working with producers for a new reality show. Extreme Makeover: Dorm Edition. Okay well the working with producers part is a false statement BUT it would be pretty cool I must admit. Instead I'm recruiting the help of my stylish and expert amiga who is also an interior designer and my artsy, over-flowing with creations, unorganized (like myself) friend Snave.  With our brains there's bound to be some creative juices flowing.  I'm not gonna lie to you I'm pretty stoked. I even bought carpet for the room. KRAAAAZY. And I'm doing this project for under.... well cheap. I haven't figured out a spending cap for a poor college kid like myself. I do have tons of DIY projects that I'm going to take under my belt.[thanks to Design*Sponge--who is also publishing a book of sweet stuff like DIY [obviously], city guides, trend forecasting, recipes, and much moreeee.] {This should be interesting} I'll be sure to photo document that.

One final note for the lads and lassies tuning in. Yesterday. Yes, not today the 30th of the month July but indeed the 29th was my dearest/best friend/roomie/fellow RA/dormer's BIG NINETEENTH birthday. Her last year being a teen [mine too but enough about me]. So I only saw it fitting to wish her a big ol' BLOGGY BLOG birthday and share that with my bloggy friends! Wish you could've shared in the delicioso cake with us, but it was indeed homemade and made my tummy tum tum happy.

{we know how to bring the FUNK!}

I wish you all happy--days/DIYs/birthdays{to come}/challenges!!

Peace and blessings to all and to all a good night day.

Smiles all around.
