THRIFTY FINDS


There's nothing I love more than a good estate sale. On Saturday, I might have had the best experience yet. Yard sales are always a hit or miss. We had a good feeling about what we'd find in Elm Mott and we sure were right. They had an entire wall dedicated to atomic dinnerware and glasses. Tad knew we were in trouble, but I controlled myself! We left there with 16 vintage glasses under $12. A steal of a deal if you ask me.

We also paid a little visit to the infamous Style Station in West. A wee bit out of my budget at the moment, but boy did they have some gems. OK. So I kind of cheated with the Siesta Ware glasses. I actually ordered those on Etsy. They came in this weekend and I must say they are a great addition to my other finds. One man's trash is another man's treasure, right?

MAD MEN INSPIRATION


Joan Holloway :: Betty Draper :: Betty & Don :: Betty & Don on pretty little sofa :: Dinner

Who isn't mad for it? This show has taken over my life as of late. I blame this on Tad. He got me the first few discs because he knows I love this era. Obviously, he knows me all to well. I swoon over the hair and makeup in every episode.  Don't even get me started on the dresses and suits. I'm talking dressed to the nines every day. If you haven't tuned in yet, you should probably do that soon. It won't disappoint.
