Summer Accessories///Crocheted Purse

 

This is my perfect crocheted purse I thrifted a month or so back. The perfect shopping bag size I can carry everything I need and still look feminine. 

It was a little yellowed so after a good bleach soak it's beautiful again and ready to get dirty all over again...since I seem to be taking it EVERYWHERE.

Perfect Vintage Oxfords

Can you believe I picked up these beauties at Gwill? Hardly worn and the perfect medium brown. I love the leather wrapped tiny platform toe. 

I might have let out a little scream when I saw they were a size 8 (they're never my size!). Perfect new work shoes for under ten bucks. Sorry folks, these hotties are all mine.

BOOM

Thursday Thoughts

 

1. This little plastic deer sits on my desk at work.  He's been with me since the beginning of my time at Schoolhouse. 

2. A new discovery today - sweet and salty Gramma Jan's popcorn. Better than Kettle Corn. I SWEAR!

3. Pretty vintage books at the local Goodwill. 

4. Trying out a new color - Pretty grey nail polish.

5. How cute is Jorie's sweater? She found it at Goodwill, altered it and added leather elbow patches. LOVE

It's Ketch's Birthday Weekend///So let's party

Happy Birthday Ketchup! 

///

Here's a shot of Ketch's birthday gift from HawkeyeAndTrapper...the sleeves will not last...

We'll be spending lots of time in our bathing suits either by the pool or on Sauvie Island, having steak dinners (I'll be munching on the fries) and straight up partying. Hope you have a great weekend cause we will!

 

PEACE

Ghost Shades///DIY

I love these ghost shades from the blog Life in the Fun Lane///

Do you know how many ugly old shades I see at Goodwill on a weekly basis? My job has me basically obsessed with lighting and I am especially loving bare bones, simple styles that showcase the design elements of the fixture. Here's one more weekend project to add to the to-do list. Whoopee!
