Trashy Thriftastic Thursday on Friday

   This astounding boy scout vest was donated to our thrift store, so it kind of counts as thrifted. It is so beautiful and it lives on our closet door so I can gaze at it any time I want.
  This is the Barbie case we found the day after we found the one in the post below! Same spot and everything!
   Billy bought this at Bargain Mart long before we started dating. He gave it to me the first weekend he spent at my apartment, and I loved it. He told me nobody appreciated it like him, except ME. Because I rule.

God's Eyes

  Our neighbor, Tiffany, Billy and I made God's Eyes for our back porch. These are just the beginning, we want to make around twenty! We didn't have a lot of colors to work with, so they aren't as awesome as they soon will be. The back porch is going to look amazing! Billy has lots of top secret plans for it!  So watch out!

Trashy Thriftastic Thursdays are on whatever day I want apparently!



  Everytime I used to go get Billy in Louisville, we would always stop at Bargain Mart before we would head back to Richmond. This was one of the treasures we found there for fifty cents!!!!!!!!!!!! It is so cool! It has an indian, hula girl, gypsy, robot, farmer, and a clown on each side, and you can flip flop their bodies together.
    We found this awesome bulletin board in the trash! And this produce!  We made real lemonade and it was soooo good! Billy said " This tastes just like it came from the store!" Broccoli casserole is next!
 
    This was the highlight of this week's trash shenanigans though!! At least non food wise, because you can't beat free food!
   When I look at this I hear the song Ariel sings whenever Ursula is stealing her voice. You know the one...Ahhhhha ahhhhhhha  ahhhhhahhaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!  Beauty!! Do you remember this, Mama!? Can you believe I found one just like yours! It is so awesome!

Reading Nook

  This is our reading nook in our making stuff area! I have been working pretty hard to get the apartment looking awesome so we can have some people over and show off our new digs! The reading nook is finished and seems to be Billy's favourite place. He falls asleep in there often, who wouldn't feel sleepy with He-Man and Skeletor fighting behind you?  We found the curtain curbside, the He-Man blanket was a Illinois thrifting score (I ALSO GOT A SHE-RA COMFORTER THE SAME DAY!), the afghan on the back of the couch was made by my Aunt Maudy, so all four of my loves are in the picture: trash,thrifting, family, and Billy.
