Need to thrift soon!

It's been too long since i've hit my favorite thrift stores. Granted i have my share of projects to finish around here, i did hang a cute little hook rack by our back door that i bought at Goodwill weeks ago, but thrifting is therapuetic to me. I love to just walk around, and find potential in people's junk lol. I've been so consumed with the kids and school lately that the only time i've left the house to take the kids on a walk or to school. As i sit here with my big glass of wine and reading my evening newspaper, i mean blogs, i found 2 things that i el-oh-vee-E!

THIS vanity! Stop right now. Drooling. I've been having nightly dreams about a little charm like this on my side of our bedroom. I know the time will come when i will get my hands on one to re-do myself. But until then, this one will meet me in my dreams.

And i LOVE this mirror! It reminds me so much of my little yellow gem i have hanging in our entry way. It just makes me smile. I'm obsessed with mirrors right now, and actually have another one in my garage, but no idea what color or where i'm going to put it. It will get some lovin soon, dont you worry.

P.S Chalkboard globes are no joke. My lil devil is taking FOREVER to finish. But it will no doubtfully look adorable in Noah's room when i'm done!

2 things

In between my crazy classes and assignments this semester i have found time to indulge my creativty in 2 things:

First off, this mirror that i scored at the Goodwill while i was pregnant for $8! I didnt start stripping it and sanding it till December, so it took awhile but it is finally done!

BEFORE

AFTER

George chose the color and i added the little wood detail on top. They sell those at Lowe's to add on furniture and i just love it!

And then there is this necklace i made. I got the tutorial here and it reminded me SO much of my friend Kristie whose birthday is right around the corner. I love getting handmade gifts and made a little pact to myself to give more handmore gifts because i feel they are from the heart. Here's how her's turned out! She loved it!

Of course i have many other projects lying around here, but next week i start my observation hours again, so we'll see if i get to tackle any. Middle school here i come!
