Currently Loving: Fleetwood Mac!

Fleetwood Mac Rumours ($4)

I've been searching for months and months for a vintage Fleetwood Mac Rumours record, and I finally found one! We went searching through tons of thrift shops and record stores when my brother was here, and in one tiny shop- there it was! For four bucks!

I've been playing it non-stop on my record player, and it sounds 100% better than the mp3 version. :) Some songs are just made to be on vinyl!

Always,
Amanda

Currently Loving: Leopard Print Crocs

Crocs: Crocs Outlet Store in Foley, Alabama

I'm interrupting my regularly-thrifted programming with a post about Crocs. No, it's not April Fool's Day!

While I've thrifted many great pairs of shoes over the years, I haven't found any that are comfortable enough to stand in all day. So I began my search for comfy-but-cute shoes.

This search found me looking at Crocs on Amazon, wondering if they could possibly pass as normal-looking. I didn't end up buying some online, but then I found these leopard print ones at the outlet mall! They had to be mine, because I love comfort and I love leopard print. (Just ask my bedroom circa 2003.)

After a little breaking in, they are the most comfortable shoes I own! And normal-enough looking to pass as not being Crocs! I highly recommend them, and you can even get them on Amazon. :)

Back to thrifted programming tomorrow!

Always,
Amanda

Currently Loving: Vintage Keys

Vintage Padlock & Key, Vintage Key Ring & Keys: Estate Sale ($1)

The hubby and I went to one of the coolest estate sales ever this past Sunday. We're talking loads of neat things- for him and for me! Some of my favorite finds were these old keys, which were in the workshop basement of the house. While the padlock with its original key are definitely cool, I'm really loving the leather key chain!

It's the perfect size- not too big to take up tons of room, but not so small that I'm forever digging for my keys. :) Awesome. Other finds from the estate sale? Vintage pipe holders that look like mid-century modern chairs for a dollar, a ruffled umbrella for a buck fifty, and a couple cool presents! Happy Friday, everyone!!!

Always,
Amanda

Currently Loving: Red, White, Blue

This is the start of a new Friday blog series: Currently Loving. It will feature recently thrifted/antiqued/etsy'd/ebayed items that I can't get enough of! This week, my favorites happen to be red, white, and blue. (Perhaps it's just the lack of 4th of July fireworks that has got me hanging on to the holiday!) In any case, here's what I'm currently loving:

Lapis Lazuli Pendants, eBay (around $2 each)

Vintage Sparklers, Heritage Antiques ($4)

 You've seen the lapis lazuli pendants in outfit photos, but here's my new little ebayed collection up close! I've bought a length of black leather cord and made some of them into necklaces. :) There's something so pretty about them- they remind me of starry nights, I think.

And the vintage sparklers? Well, they are actually still in the box, and they work!! I cautiously took one on our balcony with a bucket of water and the hubby's supervision, and it worked just like a charm! There are still a couple in the box, and I'm going to try to have the hubby take my picture with one. :) I really, really love sparklers!!

Have a great Friday, everyone. :) Is everyone else as ready for the weekend as I am? :)

Always,
Amanda
