a good day for thrifting

I went to two thrift stores on the 3rd, and have taken pictures of my new items for your viewing convenience.
First I went out with Brooke, Kaylie, Kendra, Katie and Claire to Kneaders and felt joyfully back at home. We're supposed to be friends, I know that because of how dearly I love them, and how quickly everything fell back into place.
I don't have any pictures from the day, but I think Kenj does, at least from that evening. We just need her to put them on her bloooooooog. Then Brooke, Kaylie, Kendra and I went to the DI.
I bought these things:

This is a high-waisted pencil that also happens to be tuquoise and cost me a beautiful 5 dollars. Thanks to the DI.
Then I got this little 6 dollar jacket with short sleeves, pockets and this funky little plaid.


And Lana hates this sweater, and has come up with dozens of mean names for it. I think it upsets her that it turned out so badly, because she made it. But I got it for two dollars so it's absolutely worth it. Also, I like it. It looks like something meg ryan would have worn in one of her earlier films, you know, in the eighties.
Then Coal Umbrella had their "going out of business" sale, although it was paraded as a flea market at Velour. Travis and I went after the Freedom Days Fair, and I got these shoes for 3 dollars. Huzzah!

p.s. Please take a moment to adore my new kitchen. My favorite thing about it is the checkered floor.


Then Travis bought these two ooold polaroid cameras for five bucks a piece. It's awesome, because they're both totally functional. Add them to Travis's point and shoot, pricey canon, and my holga and we're starting to accrue a healthy number of sweet cameras.
Okay, yes. They're almost all his, but I have full access, and have even been there for the purchasing of many.

Anyway, the fourth was... the fourth. Parades, snowcones, water skiing, fireworks, and obscene amounts of traffic.
You know, the same as it always has been and will be.
God bless America.

I'm having trouble following the Lana and sweater part of the blog, she made it and you bought it for $2?
The jacket looks cute, the skirt very 80's. We had a fun 4th too, pictures to follow...

I'm glad we got to see you Becky. You are right, things did just fall right back into place.
