A Thrifting We Will Go.....

Hello blog world, I have been thinking of you kindly. Its been almost a week since I posted anything, and frankly its because I have been busy. I am super excited that I have been busy, mostly because busy means money to pay the bills. I have been subbing and have loved it. On top of subbing I have also been attending class. I graduated in December, but I am taking an American Sign Language class as well as a World Geography class (because it sounds fun).

I have been up and about all around town these past few days. Rewind!! Last weekend Mr. J and I had a thrift store extravaganza. Mr. J is so wonderful because he went with me to 3 different thrift stores and never once complained.

Here are some goodies I found at my new favorite thrift store, which I am happy to say that is crazy close to our little home.

Awesome, beautiful pair of vintage suit cases. These are wonderful and will be up on Etsy shortly, well if I can bare to part with them. 
I also picked up this nice cross for $2.  Its super heavy, which means I have no idea how to hang it up on the wall.
 
 So these are some goodies that I found last weekend, Ill post what I found this weekend in the coming week.  I also have a sneak peek at my new project.  Can you figure out what I am going to make?  *Hint* its going to be a gift for my cute little nephew ;)

Cute Etsy....but then again when is Etsy not cute?

So I am an Etsy fan. I love, love, love etsy and hope to one day have an etsy shop up an running.  For now I must be satisfied with all the cute little creations.  I am officially inspired!!!!

These little owls caught my eye because I am still on my Owl obsession....which now has developed to include cute little Foxes.


Here is the shop, its  The Cupcake Girls.

Right Foot, Left Foot…

Its been harder and harder for me to get on here. I am missing out on many great bloggers and I miss the little space that I have created where I can blah blah blah to my hearts content. So on that note I decided to share some pictures. I like to take pictures of my feet, especially on cool surfaces. I have small feet (compared to most people) and love love love to wear my Converse, which you can find me wearing most if not ALL of the time (this includes my wedding day). So I present to you my footsie diaries, pictures of my feet in my favorite shoes in some of my favorite places. I hope to continue to add more soon.

ps. I am still looking for a J.O.B but fortunately I have had some substitute teaching jobs, so that’s always fun. The job hunt will continue…I just need to remember I have to take it one step at a time.

We must stand united during this devastation, but we must also not forget once the cameras are gone, once the news changes, and once this is pushed out of the headlines by another tragedy. We must always remember that simply because we are not reminded of the daily tragedies around the world does not mean they do not exist.
