Thrift Finds: Kitty Tote!

Kitty Tote: Goodwill Outlet ($2)

I'm selling stacks of bags (nearly all of my collection!) at the garage sale we're having in a couple weekends. So I didn't feel too bad thrifting this awesome tote!

It's huge, and is perfect for carrying my racquetball stuff to the gym. :) Speaking of which, we played yesterday for an hour and fifteen minutes- crazy tiring, but crazy fun! I got a new racket and a tension keeper (I think it's called!) that is shaped like a heart. Pretty awesome!

I hope everyone has a pleasant Monday!

Always,
Amanda

Outfitted In: Southwest + Mustard

Jeans, Pin: Thrifted; Shirt: Rugged Wearhouse; Bag: Target; Mocs: DSW

This was yesterday's thrifting outfit, for a pretty good afternoon of browsing my favorite thrifts. :)

I have to say, for thrifting, the cross-body bag is the way to go! It's so much easier having both hands free to dig around and take photos for #thriftspotting!
What else? Oh yeah, my hubby and I have been playing racquetball, and I've been mostly winning! Unfortunately, he beat me last night, but I think it's only because I got a new racket, and I'm not used to it yet. :)

Happy Sunday!
Always,
Amanda

Estate Sale Treasure: Jadeite!

Vintage Jadeite Plate: $2.50: Estate Sale

I have a mini-collection of jadeite now! I seriously went years without spotting it anywhere in Richmond for less than $20, and now- bam!

Thankfully, my little pieces don't take up much packing room. :)

This pretty plate was just chilling on a bookshelf at the estate sale we went to last weekend, and everything was half-off. So, yeah...$2.50 jadeite plate came home with me. :)

Well, I'm off to work this morning, and then I'll be doing some #thriftspotting! And then, lots of packing!

Always,
Amanda

Thrift Finds: Leather Boots!

Leather Boots: Goodwill Outlet ($3)

I know I won't need these as much in Florida, but I had to get these awesome knee-length leather boots! They were three bucks, and they fit perfectly! :) Awesome!

I hope everyone has a great Friday. :) I know I am excited for the weekend! Anyone have exciting thrift plans?

Always,
Amanda

Insta-Thursday :)

Happy Thursday, everyone! Here are some peeks into my week. :) It has included lots of workouts and healthy food- and my kitty Moxie!

Always,
Amanda

Outfitted In: Stripes + A Cat :)

Shirt, Jeans: Thrifted; Pin: Estate Sale; Bag: Target; Shoes: DSW

This was past Sunday's outfit, for a day of estate sale shopping and working out with my hubby. :) We've been hitting our apartment gym for cardio, weight lifting, and racquetball!

(Obviously, I changed clothes before working out!)

The cat pin I found at one of the estate sales we went to last week, and it's definitely a new favorite!

Always,
Amanda

Estate Sale Spotting :)

I realized that I forgot to show last week's estate sale photos! We went to two different ones, and there was some pretty great stuff in both. :)

My favorite things of the bunch? The rugs in the two bottom photos! Unfortunately, they were both hundreds of dollars...otherwise I probably would have made room in my packed stuff for the first one!!

I hope everyone's week is going well so far! Did anyone else spot something awesome at estate sales lately?

Always,
Amanda

Thrift Finds: Wooden Wall Art :)

Wooden Art: Goodwill Outlet (<$1)

I love this colorful wooden Last Supper art that I found in the Goodwill bins this past weekend. :) The colors are great, and more modern that the traditional artwork!

Even though we're packing up our wall art soon, I had to see it above my new record player for a little while.
I hope everyone's weekend was great! Here's to a good week. :)

Always,
Amanda

Outfitted In: Floral + Mustard

Shirt, Jeans: Thrifted; Mocs: DSW; Bag: Target

This was yesterday's thrifting outfit, for a day of a couple finds and fun #thriftspotting. :) The weirdest thing I spotted today? A teddy bear with a koosh ball as a belly! You just never know what you'll find in the Goodwill bins!
I hope everyone's weekend is going well!

Always,
Amanda

Estate Sale Treasure: A Vintage Striped Blanket!

Vintage Blanket: Estate Sale ($2)

 When I spotted this awesome blanket at the estate sale we went to last weekend, I had to get it! It's similar to the very cool (and very expensive) Hudson Bay blankets. :)

It was also super-easy to wash and get all fresh and fluffy, which is always a plus for thrifted/estate saled blankets!

You might notice there is no thrift list or even a #thriftspotting list today. Well, I am off to the thrifts to do some spotting of awesome things, but I am just going to take Instagrams of whatever is cool. :)

I hope everyone has a great weekend!!

Always,
Amanda

#Thriftspotting

1. A Unicorn

2. A Doll Leg

3. Something Weird

4. This Weird Thing. (The closest I got to a Slinky!)

Here was last weekend's #thriftspotting! I found everything on the list except a Slinky, which you would think would be easy! I did spot the strange item above, that has stretchy parts and is a sort of maze...

Happy Friday!!

Always,
Amanda

Insta-Thursday

Happy Thursday, folks! Here are some photos from my week, including a note I found in the Goodwill bins that said 'Andrew is my brother'! (Which is funny, because that's my brother's name!) :)

If you're looking for some great Halloween wigs like the last photo- they're at Target!

Always,
Amanda

Outfitted In: Boom! Pow!

Shirt, Jeans, Bag: All Thrifted; Sweatshirt: F21; Sunnies: TJMaxx

It's finally sweatshirt weather! (Well, at least in the mornings!) So, when we went to a couple of estate sales on Sunday, I threw on this awesome sweatshirt I found at Forever 21.

Speaking of estate sales, we found a couple cool things at them this weekend. And I spotted a whole bunch of cool things, too! I'll definitely have estate sale photos tomorrow!

Always,
Amanda

Thrift Finds: Rose-Colored Glasses :)

Sunnies: Goodwill ($2)

Even though I'm selling tons of sunglasses at our garage sale, I had to get these awesome ones at Goodwill! They're crazy, big, pink, and very Elton John-like!

What can I say? Sometimes you need rose-colored glasses to look through. :)

Always,
Amanda

Thrift Find: A Huge Hat!

Straw Hat: Goodwill Outlet (<$1)

We're going camping with the in-laws next month, so we've been getting our camping supplies together. :) When I saw this cool hat, I knew it would be my camping hat!

At less than a buck, I won't feel bad if it gets yucky while we're out in the woods, and it's pretty darn cool, too!

I hope everyone's weekend was great!

Always,
Amanda

Outfitted In: Rose-Colored Glasses + Blue

Shirt, Jeans, Shoes, Bag, Sunnies: All Thrifted

This was yesterday's outfit for a bit of thrifting, picking up the hubby at the airport, and dinner. :)

I'm really loving my mint-colored purse! It's perfect for thrifting- and any time I need something other than a tote. :)

I hope everyone's weekend is going well!

Always,
Amanda
