Saturday Thrifting Treasures


So, I haven't written in ages! I'm sorry. I want to move my blog site...but I can't think of a new name. Do you have any suggestions? I'm thinking of including these sorts of thoughts: grace, journals, literary references, cozy, home sweet home, thoughts, small delights...I'm open to ideas!

We had a great day. I worked at the hospital this morning, and when I got home, we scrubbed and vacuumed the Green Bean (our trusty old jetta). She sparkles now!

Tonight is a delicious evening...Oliver and I are listening to Garrison Keillor's Prairie Home Companion, and I'm puttering around lighting candles, washing dishes, and vacuuming, thinking of how I'm going to set up our office, and enjoying my thrift store finds of the day! Here they are: delightful amber decorative glass thing that creates a nice Thanksgiving glow, a beautiful copy of On the Banks of Plum Creek ($1!) and a nice old set of Tolkien's Ring trilogy (which I've been meaning to read...a winter project). I also picked up some lovely antique glasses (as in, to drink from, not for reading!), and a cute little vintage tin for my kitchen (maybe for tea?).

Hope you're having a cozy, beautiful, autumn Saturday as well...

Lovely candle jar. Looking forward to hearing what you think of the Tolkien trilogy when it's all said and done! Any ideas for a book club pick? We try to stick to classics, but that encompasses far too many...I'm soliciting ideas.

Me again. :)
Had no idea M was marrying! I haven't heard from him much since my wedding, which was weird, but oh well. Who is the girl?
