Finally a decent antique store.

I finally ventured out today to the local antique store. I love to look at the antique stuff but for some reason it doesn't translate into my home. Plus most the time I get so upset because they mark it antique and then put such a ridiculous price on it that us poor people can't afford to pull it off. Well I hit the jackpot and I probably shot myself in the foot telling her she had too good of prices. Oh well. I by no means have a shabby chic house, but I love the look. Well the girls have been complaining that we haven't had an angel on the tree. We have been using a star. I found this gal today and figured worse case she sits on the mantel. Well then I found these and who could pass them up. All of them were only $8. I think they are so cute and I almost want to put the tree up just to have some place to put them. Then David and I have been talking about wanting a candelabra but couldn't find one that was decently priced, but this guy was just waiting for me to come. Believe it or not but it was only $12 and it is solid.
I am so in love with it and right next to the candelabra was this desert stand. I love my spider one but was thinking it was time for it to be put away so this will nicely take its place. Oh and it is only $16. Maybe it was because she had three of them but who is going to complain. Not me. I couldn't believe the prices. There were other stands and dishes that I could of snagged up in a heart beat. She had these great lamps that were already on hold. I was so sad about that because they were gorgeous and the pair were only $30. I swear either I have been tainted by Spokane's high prices or this gal just doesn't know what she has. I am so tempted on Tuesday, since it is a day off to find other area antique stores and see what I can find. If they all are like this I will be so happy. I am loving having a house and all the great stuff that comes with that.

My wish list

Now this is by no means a buy these exact thing list. I figured I would gives some basic ideas and you can run from there. I am really getting into the shabby chic look for my kitchen. As you noticed in a previous post I have gotten a few things but I have a few more things I would love to have. These are just few. I like the white and the decorative look. I am also into anything that would go with my new Iphone. I really could use a case and I would absolutely love a docking station at home with speakers so I could use it here. Plus, my music was lost in our hard drive crash so an Itunes gift card would be absolutely WONDERFUL!!!! Now I also love my Cricut and I have a ton of cartidges that I would love to have. The ones I am posting here are ones I don't have and ones that I would like to someday own. I am puting them in the order, with the most wanted on top. PLEASE DON"T THINK THIS IS AN HAVE TO GET ME LIST! THIS IS JUST SUGGESTIONS OF THINGS THAT I AM INTO RIGHT N...

LOVE CRAIGSLIST

Since the new house has a room for each of the girls we ran into a slight problem. Basically how do you make two beds into three and one dresser into three. So I jumped on Craigslist this morning and found two twin size mattresses for $10 each and then another person had 2 box springs for $5 for both. I also found two dressers, nice ones at that for $20 and $40. So I furnished two rooms for $85. We already have a twin bed frame. So I figured I will keep my eyes open for another twin bed frame and keep the bunk beds together so that we have a spare bed for visitors. YES, I expect everyone to come stay with us at least once, we are the cool people. Kalaree is going to refinish (paint) one of the dressers and the bed frame that we have now for her beehive project. How cool is that. Not only does she now have a dresser but she also now has her beehive project to do. WOO HOO!!!!! I am really quite proud of myself to get all this stuff for such a great price and now I don't have to worry...

LOVE craigslist.

I was doing my usual cruise through craigslist tonight when I stumbeld upon a find. A family in a neighboring town is moving and needed to get rid of their loveseat. Slightly sunfaded is how they discribed it but it was free. Well to my surprise when I scrolled down to look guess what I found.... Yup the exact match to our living room set. It is sunfaded, it even looks purple in spots. But hey ours is not in the best of shape either so who cares. So now we finally have enough seats in our living room to have everyone sit without someone being on the floor or a kitchen chair.
