flea market finds and such

So this weekend Jake and I decided to go "flea-ing" as it is now known and thrifting just to look and see if we could find any great frames for painting and any other vintage finds that we came across. My first frame turned out pretty good, especially for $.99!


So we went to a few places, found a few things (like so) and then spend saturday night at his parents while I scrapped and he built a shelf! I had fun and this is what I came up with...





Sunday, after church we went to the Oldsmar flea market, which I thought was pretty pricey, considering most of it was junk. but we did find this really cute vintage store where I found some goodies! We found our next kitchen table, it was a chrome 1950'2 style soda shop table, red vinyl chairs included! so I thought the dessert sign thingys that I bought would go perfect! and he gave me a little birdie salt/or pepper shaker for free since we couldn't find it's match, but that was fine with me...still just as cute! But yea, Jake and I have unofficially decided to do a 50's themed kitchen in our next place, which we will hopefully have by the end of october.

A lady at church gave me some old fabric ribbon I had ran across in the decoration storage room, since it would have went to waste...so I can find multiple ways to utilize it!



This week is pretty stressful since it's my last week of class, so pray for us! Oh! and Jake has been scavenging for a scooter, since his underwater car incident HA. He is car-less and we want something that is good on gas, plus, since we will be going to classes together we only really need one car. He wanted a motorcycle (what man doesn't) but I said noooo. did I mention they get 80-90 mpg? I can definitely handle that as geeky as they might look. hehe...

Adios amigos!
