It's official

I am going to be sicky on Christmas :( Miss Autumn got me sick as well as my brother. It's a strong case of a head cold. So I've been hitting the hot tea pretty hard and some cold medicine hoping to not feel like total death. Since tomorrow I have a full day of cleaning, baking, grocery shopping and getting my hair did. This red is fading pretty fast. So it will be nice to have some pampering down time. Although all I want right now is to curl into my big blankets and sleep for like two days. On another note I did some thrifting today hoping to find something my brother sent me out to find. I ended up finding stuff for myself. My day in pictures.


I love love my new dress thanks to modcloth.




I went on a photo taking adventure. I used to spend many summer nights at this vary drive in

Thrift finds.










Now I must get back to more Christmas present wrapping to do. And try to get as much sleep as I can.

I spoiled myself

When it comes to Modcloth I just cant help myself sometimes. I got a view pieces the other day. Everyday I hope the post man brings these pretty dresses to my door.




the bluebird dress.





I went a bit over board but I just couldn't stop myself. I Know i know Christmas is just a few short days away but I wanted Santa to come a little early.So please Mr. Postman hurry up.


Still dreaming over these ones.




I can picture this one perfectly in the spring and summer time with some white salt water sandals.

My oh my today has been a long one. Miss autumn would not leave my side she clung to my every move. So of course I was not as productive today as I would like. We did manage to make our gingerbread house she loved eating it I think that was her favorite part. Tomorrow I promise to get up early and get things done. I have so much to do to get ready for our Christmas eve dinner. Finish some presents ugh next year I want to have things finished early for once...

Today's pretty little things are dedicated to all things pink. It's one of my favorite colors.


Pretty pink cotton candy,yum.


This cute keep calm and have a cupcake journal. I saw these online somewhere I think I need one.


Pretty pink chevy bel air. One day I will own one in either pink or teal. Love it.




Pretty pink hair. I just love it so much. I'm very much thinking of ordering a wig from miss violet laceso I can test it out. I know for a fact my hair can't take all the bleaching it takes to handle that.


My pretty pink christmas tree.




Pretty pink refrigerator. Id love to have one of these beauty's grace my kitchen.


This pretty pink house.


And of course a pretty pink mixer. Which I may 98% chance be getting for Christmas. I kind of been hinting at it. Today a box arrived on our door step from this site called everything kitchens. So I did a little searching on their site and what do you know they have my mixer on sale. Also the box weighs exactly the same size as the red kitchenaid mixer I got her. I cant wait to see if I am right. It would be funny if I was that we both got each other the mixers we have been drooling over for Christmas.

Only 4 days till Christmas eve and 5 till Christmas time really has flew by, I don't know where it went.

Adventures in antiquing.

Today was oh so much fun. It started out with a scrumptious breakfast at biscuits. With my mom, my moms sister, my cousin and myself. My sister and niece joined us after breakfast.

oh my their biscuits and homemade jam is so good. I could totally go for some right now.



I had scrambled eggs,red potatoes with my biscuit and homemade strawberry jam. Just what we needed to fuel us for a day of antiquing and thrifting.

After that we all headed over to stars antique mall. I've been passed this place many of times I take hot yoga right next door. But after class there is NO way I would go in public all sweaty so I never got to make it inside. Until today and..... I have no words I didn't know what to do where to look first I just my mind was exploding. Every little booth was decorated so cute. I didn't know there photo policy some shops strictly forbid that but nobody said anything. However I still don't understand the weird looks when I take pictures of something that I think is cute. I got the worst like I just did something to disgusting today while taking a picture of some jars. I was like alright wanted to laugh but kept shooting. Anywhoo it's pretty pictures from today time. Enjoy... which I know you will.

*warning excessive photos*



I love the antique silverware they were $1 a piece to me that sounded pretty good. I would like to go back and get some.






I loved the set of six vintage pink glasses but they were a little over priced I thought. Each booth is different. I will just have to search for them elsewhere.









My finds of the day. My sister also got the coolest table and antique books.

Vintage lace trim, wrapped up on a old bingo card. So cute.






Some cool skeleton keys. They don't look vintage or old to me at all. I even saw a 2000 champagne glass...NOT really antique. But they were cute for my mom's christmas tree and a steal so of course we got them.



I also got this gorgeous lace table cloth,some doilies, and this beautiful huge shabby chic white blanket I had eyed the minute I saw it. So my mom had mentioned we could each pick out a christmas present.





I love these bottles. Im on the search for some old milk bottles I have one other one i scored one day at a local goodwill for 50.

whoa that was a lot of pictures.And that was only one of their buildings they have one for furniture only across the street that we didn't even touch just because we spent so long inside the first one. But we have plans of going next Sunday. We all are bringing our own cars. Watch out here we come...Im so excited, I know where I will be spending my christmas money.

But man oh man was it chilly it started snowing on our way back. I hear it's supposed to get 1-2inches of snow tonight *fingers crossed* In case that did happen I rushed to get to the craft store for things I knew id need to finish some presents.My room wont seem to warm up I have layers upon layers and blankets still my body feels like icicles. I know I had a lovely sunday with family and finding goodies.

I also heard our winter is supposed to get bad. More intense then our winter back in 2008 I was snowed in for two weeks so I hope we get a warning in advance so we can get everything we need.
