I Knew It Would Be Amazing

I was itching.

Itching to go to a thrift-store before we leave our summer abode in Seattle.

Well, I scratched my itch.

Except, you know how most of the time when you scratch something, it usually itches more?!

{speaking of all this itching is reminding me of some of the nasty skin issues people come and show me at the pharmacy, I once got flashed by a lady attempting to show me her "itchy" rash}

ewwww.

Back on track:

It was FAAAABULOUS! {just like I knew it would be}

And remember how I was scared that I would find something great and not be able to take it home?

Well, if there's something about me you should know;

it's that I'm usually right!

This case was no exception! 

Let me show you just 3 things that I couldn't have:

Exhibit A)

 See this chair right here?  This amazing, sturdy chair with such great features?

I about died when I saw the price:

$3

yes, you read that right...

I didn't take a close-up picture so you're just going to have to take my word.

only THREE DOLLARS!

Next up, we have a gorgeous chandelier:

 Okay, it might not be gorgeous to the untamed eye, but I see great possibilities when I look at this!

Have you seen some of the great chandy makeovers out there?

And, the price on this one?

$10

One more thing about me, I love chandeliers.  

Not brass chandeliers, per se.

I dream of having a gorgeous chandelier in my bedroom, daughter's room and yes, even my laundry room.

Someday...-sigh-

Next up, this cute glass cake stand:

So pretty. 

I don't think I even own a cake stand, but I think I should start collecting them.

I bet you want to know what thrift store I went to.

You want to go snatch these things up?

Well, I can't hide it any longer...I already snatched one!

I just couldn't contain myself.

Sometimes you just can't pass up something so great.

  (now I just have to figure out how to get it back home...hehe)

I left with perma-grin

I couldn't contain my excitement

I had a fantastic day thrifting!

{So did the girl who found that $3 chair as I was leaving} 

Sometimes when you have an itch, you use Cortisone; 

other times, you go shopping!
