my cozy concrete crib

It's hard to make a white concrete dormroom/box homey. I did my best :]

Thrifted owl salt & pepper shakers from this blog post

I was proud of my storage techniques using an old crate and a mini vintage suitcase! Cheap & trendy :]

I love homemade gifts from friends :] they make everything cozy.

I got this denim love seat for only $100 in a furniture store clearance room! 

As you may have noticed, I love pastel colors, floral prints, and birds. I think I'm just getting the girly girl out of my system cuz I figure someday I might have to share my home with a fella who wouldn't want lace curtains and tea pots on display :p

Thanks for visiting!
Come back soon :]

collections

I spent my Thanksgiving break with Jake's family in Illinois! Born and raised on crowded Long Island, NY, I always find the trips to his house fascinating. The big fields and farms make everything so open. All that open space sure feels good on a crowded mind. 

Jake's family owns a local antique mall and jewelry store! Here are some of the treasures I found to add to both my Owl and Vintage Pyrex collections!

Vintage Owl Salt & Pepper Shakers - $7 (these even have cork bottoms!)

Glass owl from Japan - $2.50

Gold Butterfly Pyrex Casserole - $4

Early American Heritage Pyrex Casserole - $6

Even though I did a little Black Friday shopping at the mall, these 4 antiques are still my favorite. I plan on moving into an apartment next year so I'll be able to put my finds to good use.

What are some Thanksgiving weekend deals you snatched up???

Later Taters
