Weddings & Pyrex

I had the pleasure of doing the photography this weekend for my wonderful friends wedding. It was in Boulder, CO - so I got to take a sweet roadtrip, too!


The bride, my darling friend Kila, knows of my obsession with Pyrex - so as a thank you, she gave me these gorgeous pink gooseberry cinderella bowls!


I also had a free day on Saturday and hung out with another darling friend, Linnea. We had a wonderful day exploring Ikea, eating delicious food, and speaking with British accents. She took me to a wonderful little flea market where I found this beauty!


I've wanted a hostess dish for a looooong time now...glad to finally get one!

I also found these three pieces a week or so ago (all at different thrift stores!) Only one more small fridgie to complete the set! ;)


Back to the wedding stuff! I met Kila when I moved to Boulder last summer. I was living on an aerobed on my brother's floor and got a job as a preschool teacher, where I was placed in a room co-teaching with Kila. We became great friends, and when my brother moved away and my aerobed had no floor to set on, they allowed me to move in their guest room. They gave me a home when I had none, and a family when I needed it the most. Kila & Aaron's wedding was breathtakingly beautiful, and I was honored to be a part of it. Congratulations, friends! 



Oh, and their cake was the best cake I've ever had...ever. It was pumpkin, and tasted like a little bit of heaven.

New Bedroom!

I moved about two months ago, and have finally finished rearranging and decorating my bedroom. I'll give you a peek, because I know you have been soooo interested. ;)

Bookshelf; given to me from my momma, painted white. Filled with mainly Pyrex, the bottom shelf holds my books. (Horrible, right?)


Dresser; $30 thrift store find. I'm in love with the scalloped drawers.


Ottoman; $20 estate sale find. I actually just got this yesterday, not quite sure where it will end up in the room. I'm in love with the color, and the extra storage space!


Record player; $70 from Craigslist. It's not vintage, just a remake. I have horrible luck with vintage turntables...every time I buy one it breaks. I'm cursed! So I bought new(ish) - and yes, it IS pink. Swoon.


Owl tea-light holder; free from my momma (she's the best!) 


Lamp; free at the curb. The inside lights up green. Yupp!


And this isn't really part of my room, just my new little keychain friend. Have any of you heard of KidRobot? The items come blind-box, which makes it kind of fun because you don't know which guy you'll get! The boy bought this one for me while wasting time in a bookstore before seeing The Dark Knight Rises (OHMYGOD I LOVE BATMAN) This is from the Yummy Breakfast line. 


Oh, and I got some Pyrex this weekend! Just a little red fridgie (.50 with lid!) and #441 yellow bowl ($2). The Frank Sinatra album was only .50 and the Fossil bag was $5! Pretty great weekend if you ask me.

Pyrex I Left For You!

I found so much Pyrex this weekend! Only problem is...I didn't want most of it. So here is some Pyrex I left for you. :)

I carried this guy around for awhile, but ended up putting it back. I just didn't love it enough.

Shenandoah, $6.99
I really dislike you, Early American. I WILL NOT BUY YOU NO MATTER HOW CHEAP YOU ARE. Please stop following me.

Early American, $2.99
I'm sure this was lovely at some point. But this price for this faded guy is just crazy.
Pink Gooseberry, $4.99
Seriously, Early American, NO. NO!

Early American, $5.99
I'm one of those weird people who loves Homestead...but for this price, I just couldn't.

Homestead, $6.99

Hope everyone is having more luck than I thrifting! :)

New!

So I did it. I online shopped for Pyrex.


Thank you, shopgoodwill.com

(Autumn Harvest is one of my favorites!) Now I need to find the #404...

The local thrift stores have been pretty great to me lately, too.


The pink gooseberry (99c) went home with my momma. She likes pink. I kept the mushrooms (99c) though! 


The berries ($3) and salad bowl ($5) are new finds, too!


Adorable orange fridgie (99c) and woodland butter dish ($2).

Have I mentioned I also collect random vintage plates? They have been piled on my dresser until recently. 


Happy Saturday, lovelies! Stay sweet - orange rolls are being enjoyed here. ;)
