Thrifted Vintage: A Teeny Corn Cob Pipe :)

Tiny Corn Cob Pipe: Goodwill Outlet (<$1)

The hubby collects vintage pipes, but this little guy didn't interest him. Why? It's seriously tiny! I think it's just adorable, as most very small things are. :)
Like, toilet paper? Not cute. Itty bitty dollhouse toilet paper? Cute! I understand some people won't agree with my silly logic, though.

Anyway, it's Wednesday already! I leave to visit my aunt and uncle and meet my baby cousin in Texas on Saturday, so I'm counting down to the weekend. (Even more than usual, I mean.)

Always,
Amanda

Thrift Finds: Glitter Toms!

Glitter Toms: Goodwill Outlet ($3)

Glitter Toms have been something I've searched for at the thrifts for ages. I finally gave up looking...and bam! There they were in the Goodwill bin! Don't you love when that happens?

I'm definitely not opposed to buying new Toms, especially because they have a great, giving-back business model, but I can't really afford full-price ones. Anyway, that's why I'm super glad to have found these for three bucks. Because the person who first bought them provided shoes for child in need, and when I bought these from Goodwill, it helped people looking for jobs. Win-win-win. :)

Always,
Amanda

Outfitted In: Gold and G's

Shirt, Jeans, Bag: All Thrifted; Pendant: Lawrence; Saltwater Sandals: Amazon

This was Saturday's thrifting outfit, which is very similar to a recent outfit I wore. But hey, I changed up the necklace and my hair! So, different, right? :)

What else? Oh yeah, I sported my awesome 'G' pendant from Lawrence  that I hadn't worn in awhile. Wearing it reminded me of its awesomeness, and I went back to the Web site yesterday to look at them again. And they had an 'A'! I totally ordered it! Soon, I'll have an awesome A necklace, too. :) I love initial stuff.

We spent the rest of the weekend at my in-laws for Father's Day, which was pretty laid-back and fun. :) There was homemade food eating, front porch singing, and cigar smoking for the guys. It was a pretty good way to celebrate the holiday, although I was definitely missing my dad!


Always,

Thrift Finds: A Teeny Fireplace :)

Dollhouse Fireplace: Goodwill Outlet (<$1)

I love finding little things for my dollhouse! It's so much fun. :) So, I was super excited to thrift this awesome fireplace from the Goodwill bins this past Saturday!

It is so detailed, including red glitter on the little logs to make it look like it's being used. And the extra bonus is that it fit right into the corner of the dollhouse living room!

Happy Friday!
Always,
Amanda

Insta-Thursday



This week was full of: having fun with the A Beautiful Mess app, checking out a new thrift store, enjoying a fun date night with the hubby, finally scoring a Nate Berkus for Target turtle shell, taking selfies, staring at my new Saltwater Sandals, and hanging with the kitty. :)

Always,
Amanda
