I was doing a little thrifting w/ Sister the other nite when I happened upon the coolest sweater! It's gray cashmere w/ a really long cowel neck type thing that wraps around to make the whole sweater really comfy, cozy.

*tank, shirt, & leggings: old navy, sweater: thrifted; boots: fashion bug.

Found the sweater @ Goodwill for less than $4...and it's originally from Banana Republic...yippee! Although...the day I decided to wear this...it hit about 70 degrees outside...I was toasty. It'll be perfection for fall/winter next year, though.

P.S...try to look past the dust covering my mirror. Might be time to clean... ;)

but by the seeds that you plant."

--Robert Louis Stevenson

The days just seem to get busier & busier...it's so important to stop and smell the roses (or tulips).

Spotted these beauties @ a flower shop in Omaha's Old Market. I wanted to buy all of them!

Wishing you all a very happy

(and productive) week!! :)

Thrifty Goodness

You just never know when or where you'll find thrifty treasures. That's why you have to be willing to get out there and look! Not everyone enjoys the thrill of the hunt...I know...that's what makes thrifting buddies even better. It's great to know that whoever's w/ you really enjoys it. Then you can spend all the time you want wandering the aisles...coming together @ the end to compare your finds.

Some of my recent scores...

This mirrored pedestal thingy is perfect for my main-floor bathroom. I'm always trying to find something for the counter (I really just need to redo the whole room...this'll do in the meantime)...that has good height. Can't decide if I want to put something on top of it. Maybe a bowl, a candle? Any suggestions??

I love this planter! It's plain white...but dimensional...adding interest. Maybe it'll give my sad little plant a new lease on life...

Snuggly jammies. Not just any jammies...but a matching set. How cute! Oh...and there are hearts...lots and lots o' hearts!

It's getting to be spring...any day now. Time to do some cleaning and rearranging of the house. Can't wait to give some new life to the things I already have and to the treasures I've been lucky enough to find lately.

Case of the Sickies

Here it is...another cold. Been sick a couple times this year...blech. The house is in shambles around me...and all I can think about is sitting on the couch...snuggled up to my DVR. (oh yeah...and doing some light blogging.)

So happy I picked up these snuggly slippers @ old navy...coming in pretty handy on my stay-at-home sick day.

Oh hey, American Pickers guys! Just catching up... I also watched 3 episodes of

Gossip Girl (don't judge), 2 episodes of How I Met Your Mother...and now I'm working on Ice Loves Coco (there...I said it...I watch it!).

Disastrous mess taking over the house...I have some ocd issues w/ clutter...

Here's to feeling better!

Cheers! :)

Sunday Snapshots (on Monday)

Alright...not gonna lie...I've been in some sort of a weird blogging place lately. It's not that I don't want to...that's not it at all. It's just that, well...I've been swamped...and something's gotta give. Unfortunately...

Gonna try my bestest to get back on that wagon, though. So...here are Sunday Snapshots...just a wee-bit late.

1. Outfit: jeans & shoes: target; shirt (*love*) & cami: old navy; necklace: lia sophia; sunglasses: gap

2. Animal print shoes...target clearance...even better. Oh yeah...and my tiny tattoo...I love it!

3. Washing up some strawberries for a crisp...it was delicious! A small taste of summertime...much needed.

4. Menu on my chalkboard fridge...for lunch w/ friends.

5. *Cat-napping* on the fluffy, white bed...must.be.nice...

6. & 7. A sun-shiny day! It lit up the whole day...even the solar lites!

8. Wreath I whipped up @ the end of the day...fabric remnants and a wreath form I had on hand.

Every.Single.Time

Pretty much any time Sister and I try to do a short get-away...the weather ends up being wonky. We made a little afternoon trip to the outlets today...and what do ya know? It's icy/snowy...lots o'cars in the ditch. Traffic.is.crawling...

So worth it today, though...came away w/ some good deals. :)

It's About Time!

Ok...so, pretty much any time I go to the florist (a little too often) to buy something...I ask if they have ranunculus. Sometimes I'm lucky and a manager-type person (who actually knows about flowers) will help me. More often than not, though...it's a high school girl who doesn'thaveaclue what I'm talking about...and I get completely "duh" look from them.

No matter who's helping me, though...the answer is ALWAYS no. Bummer, dude...until this week! I didn't even have to muster up the guts to ask for the zillionth time. I opened a local ad...and there they were...my favoritest flowers ever!
They are beautiful & wimsical...and, unfortunately...a wee-bit pricey. So...I had to settle on one bunch and one color. I am so happy with them nonetheless!

happy weekend!!
