Spring Break!

Thursday, March 26th, 2009

WOOOOOHOOOOO. Spring Break ’09!

I love me some vacation time and thought I put up a few travel/party themed items at the old Etsy Store.

Check out Spring Break mania: Travel Thermos, Arizona Glasses, Oregon Tray, Scandinavian Coasters! As well as other new and thrifty goodness.

I’m going to go wild now. TO THE XTREME.

Black thumbs and old new agers.

The side yard is just a tab bit overgrown. I always imagined a glamorous lap pool here instead of landscaping, but maybe with the worldwide economic poopy time I might start a victory garden.

I really hate gardening…something about the dirt and bugs gives my neaty freak pants the chills. I don’t like plants and over and over again they have proved that they hate me. Somehow though, these pretty purple flowers sprang out of the muck and weeds in this hot desert.

To celebrate I immediately destroyed them. Now they look pretty in the bedroom.

Ohhhh
, I popped my cherry – its my first floral arrangement. I wonder if they make a card for that.

CH-CH-CHanges…

We loaded up the “Beast” with all sorts of mid century goodies for Barterfest ’09. Its looking like springtime around here and that means dusting off and trucking out all those things cluttering up The Brick House…

That meant heading to civilization…aka…Orange County / Los Angeles. Looking at this pic of the 10 Fwy I remember how much fun it was to sit in traffic everyday.

Uh-oh. Even though this is technically spring cleaning – Barterfest ’09 calls for new treats to come home. Bartering is a great way to spruce up your house without spending tons of dollas’. Mine your stylish friends houses for great finds or make new friends with flea market and vintage store owners. Everyone likes to do the barter!

Soon I will reveal all my new awesome pieces…
