Okay so still no news on whether or not grandpa gets released today, though this blog post will most likely be interrupted by a phone call on the matter. But before all of that happened Sciarrino and I worked on an awesome project last week. I had been planning on redoing the craft studio all …

I was scared of the internet
Okay so I just finished reading Harry Potter, and no I’m not going to talk about it. I know some of you might still be reading, including Sciarrino! So I didn’t want to go online until I had finished it because I was so afraid I might accidentally find out what had happened. I planned …
Thrifting the big city
I got up super early for the second day in a row, why? To thrift of course. Sciarrino and I headed up to Portland to hit up some sales, not something we usually do, in fact I’ve only been garage/estate/church sale shopping up there a few times before. It’s so hard to figure out which …

All By Myself…
Okay this morning I went thrifting BY MY SELF. This is actually not something I do that often, as I find it way more fun with friends. But since everyone works on Fridays I don’t have a choice really and the sales, well they were calling my name. So I bit the bullet and headed …
Back in the thrifting groove
Okay so there is a big church rummage sale going on here in town and today was the first day. I hit it up last year and it is one of those "everything is really junky until you dig deep" sales. So we (Sciarrino and I of course) dug deep and came up with: That …
Find of the Day
Okay so I drove all the way to Stayton (a half hour away) for a block sale that was almost a bust, until I found this fifty cent gem. Yes, this is the only thing I got today but check it, how often do you find a Bob Ross T-Shirt that will fit your crazy …
And Found
There is nothing sweeter than a good morning thrifting with your best friend to get you back on the road to happiness.Sciarrino and I hit the sales Saturday morning. The first stop was a house we both adore on High Street, a couple blocks down from me. I got the seven dollar folding card table …
