I'm a random girl, inspired by nature, trees, Fairy Tales, mushrooms, cemeteries, dreams, antique bottles, tarot cards and palm reading, acorns, tea sets, tiny mammals, fairy rings, old photographs, ghost stories, small collectibles and paper flowers, gift boxes, and other various containers.
Last weekend Brad and I went on a little adventure.
I was recommended to visit some places by a friend on twitter.
So, I did just that.
The first week in a new apartment, there are always things you need.
A new broom, tables, shelves, chairs… all sorts of things.
I had been on the hunt for the perfect chair for my shop.
Then I learned, chairs are expensive.
So, we added thrift stores onto our agenda.
Our Adventure Included:
World Market
Dancing Cranes, where I got the Devi Chai, just like I was told to. And it was gooood!
A huge record store for Brad
Deseret Industries, (The thrift store of Utah)
Ikea
Please meet :
The Money Tree (Regina) that now resides in my studio.
My lucky birds that hang by the window. They will help ward off evil spirits.
Our $20.00 ikea coffee table.
For feet and drinks.. of course.
My new purse!
I’ve been needing a bigger one for so long!
More prayer flags for the front porch.
Mismatched plates.. one of my favorite things!
My new organic cotton coat, that was 50% off!
I carried it around with me debating if I truly wanted it.
Turns out it changed my life to a point I couldn’t say goodbye.
The new chair for my studio!
only $20 from the thrift store..
It was old, faded and a bit worn,
but thanks to a king size duvet on clearance at Ikea..
I was able to turn it into this:
Hello beautiful!
Perhaps in another post I will attempt to tell you how I made this.
I nearly gave up at least 3 times.
It’s pretty rare to have a real successful day of shopping.
Where you find everything you need, for just the price you want.
