5 Months

A few of my followers asked me for a baby update! Well Alright!!!!
Sooooo… I probably didn’t mention this… my baby sissy and I are exactly 3 weeks apart… Her due date is May 13th mine is May 29th. Apparently while I was laughing at her for not being able to drink and what not agreeing to get nice and tipsy for her I was pregnant too LOL.. No worries the baby is perfectly healthy!!!  So we are five months preggers ! Time is moving right on along! FINALLY! For a minute there I thought I was going to be pregnant forever… It’s time to start planning the shower…
Our status: Happy, Healthy and Pleasantly Plump Smile
Did I mention that we’re both having boys too??? LOL

Bringing Home Baby Pt. 2

Hi Dolls! I hope your weekend was as fulfilling as mine… As promised today is a continuation of Bringing Home Baby with a little spin!!!!
Iphone 003
This lovies is my other 40.00 purchase… Who wouldn’t pick this beauty up for 40.00?
mmmmmhmmmmmmm……..
Well…… She didn’t come home with me. One reason.
I had nowhere to put her …
Was I disappointed? No, not at all!
We’re in the process of purchasing our first home,  this gives me a challenge and something to look forward to!!!
So… I told the manager that the dresser wasn’t going home with me… and that I was sure I could find 40.00 worth of treasures to take its place…. She kindly agreed and an hour later I had a basket full of glory!!!!
 012
More Bowls!!! and the frame in the background is a hint to why I selected these…
013
Two Chairs…. Of course they’re getting painted… I thought they were kind of cool
and for 5.00 why not? As to what I’m going to do with them… Don’t know yet…
014
A pillow.. that my husband hates BTW…
016
Another dish that I plan to drop my necklaces in…
017
These are super cute!!! and I got every one they had… I plan to use them for giveaways… I know a lot of dolls who have been looking for cuteness to hold their rings and brooches in!!!

018
Milk glass
Now about the tarnish… After reading about the magic a little cleaner can do to some old neglected thrift store silver and brass on Centsastional Girl’s blog.. I’ll never pass up a platter or bowl again…

See for yourselves…..
before….
silver bowl before polish
after….

I want to go to their houses and see what replaced the treasure they trashed... seriously! MID CENTURY FURNITURE EVERYWHERE! Credenzas, hutches, side tables, wing back chairs, coffee tables... and the best part is that there was so much stuff, they HAD to price it dirt damn cheap to make room for the other stuff to come in! THRIFTING HEAVEN! Let me tell u.. If we had our house and I wasn't saving my money for our Miami trip I would have bought every peice of furniture on that floor JUST BECAUSE!!! I didn't get crazy... even though I wanted to.. I did however manage to leave with the reciept to a BEAUTIFUL BUFFET to replace our hutch and a mid century armoir!!!! Dolls... 80.00 for BOTH!!! And Both are in Tip Top Shape!  Way to kick off the new year right!!!!?? MMMMMHMMMMMM My truck would only transport one at a time so today's post will be dedicated to my sexy armoir!!!!

Another Huge Thrifting Success!

The thrifting stars were aligned and today was a good damn day to be me! I had a massive migraine today and a few vacation hours to blow before the end of the year so this mommy to be opted to stay home and rest it out. I started feeling better so I thought it would be a good idea to take a ride to the thrift stores and see what kind of goodies they had today... O M G Jack Damn Pot!!!! I left up out of there with three full bags of goodies minus 30.00, hopped in my truck and made my mind up to head home..I'd seen all there was to see today.. For some reason instead i ended up at the GW... AND DOLLS!!! I'm so glad I did :) That's a post for Tom. so be sure to stop by and see why!
This weekend Barbie Jones has a date with a few cans of white spray paint.. that's right pregnant and all with my face mask on!!!!


Milk glass lovers.. Look at what I found!!! and if it was 15.00 it would have came home with me!


Picked up a few candlesticks to slap some paint on real quick :)

I LOVE Bowls!!! And when I say LOVE i actually mean... I'm secretly obsessed with them!!!! There are quite a few for jewlery and what not on my bedside tables... and My hubby even uses his :) This bowl is actually larger than it looks in the photo... I had to have it because I have a smaller one JUST LIKE IT!

I've learned to thrift with an OPEN MIND! I know a few ppl were giving me side eyes when I was oohing and aaahhing as I picked up Barbie's horsey and that tiger cup but what they don't know is that with some white spray paint.. hunnie a little goes a long damn way! POW

 O and have u guys seen those movies where the snake charmer plays the flute and the snake comes dancing out??? That's what that thing in the back reminded me of lol I grabbed it just because it was different. White Paint!!!!



A PICNIC Basket... Did I need it? uhhhhh No.. Will I use it? Probably not. Or who knows I may wanna pack a fat girl lunch to go watch my hubby play foot ball...

                  
And last but NOT least! My Vintage Sterling Silver Mirror :) This was the most expensive goodie I picked up today... It was 6.00 and I ALMOST didn't get it! I've been wanting one for quite some time but didnt want to pay 30.00 for the cheap looking ones i've seen at numerous places... so this for me was a GREAT buy . Not only have I been wanting it...

Ipad Fab!


I've been wanting an Ipad for a long time.... I just couldn't get passed that steep ass price that goes with it. I went to my favorite place and used the technique my hubby taught me (literally wait until the last 59 seconds and bid!) and won a FABULOUS 16g Ipad!!! The price isn't much cheaper than what it would've cost me in the store but luckily the seller agreed to work with me so that I could send a couple of payments!!!! Good to see people are still in thier holiday spirit mode :) THAT probably wouldn't have flewn two months ago HEHE... I hear that the Ipad takes blogging to a WHOLE NEW LEVEL!!! I'm excited about the Moodboard Pro and Photolayout Finger Design Apps... Yes I did my homeowork :) Do any of you own an Ipad? What do you LOVE about it!!! How do you use it?

Well.... our Ipad needs a case doesn't it????? I think I'll get these :)
