Don't touch my Potatoes

Today I peeled potatoes for Easter dinner. We had our dinner this evening because Saturday is when we go for Ramen and we have yet to break tradition. *lol*
I so badly wanted to do a bit of thrift shopping Today as I have not done any shopping over a week, BUT EVERYTHING WAS CLOSED!! (Except huge chain stores)
 I wore a green "Vintage Style" dress that I picked up from a thrift for next to nothing. I can't remember the price because I have had it for at least a year or so.
 I bought the macrame bag for $2 It JUST holds my (Wallet, Camera Cellphone & Gum) *eeep*
I suppose I am a big handbag sort of Women. But I really like this bag.
Here I am up in a weeping willow.
 My Guy was not really into vintage really until this passed year. Probably because I talked about vintage non stop .... He has taken to it alot more. *YAY* There is a online deal where you can get your first pair of glasses for just the cost of shipping for free. Mr. Coco does not need to wear glasses but he has always wanted a pair so this was the perfect time to get some. When I suggested he get vintage style glasses he actually AGREED and his glasses arrived a couple days ago. Since he got them .... he pretty much wants to wear them all the time

Testing out a beach cruiser....
I need to get my bike out of Winter storage. I WANNA feel the wind in my hair again.

Happy Easter Everyone!!!

Little Bo Coconut Frock on Friday

"OOooh Hello"

It's Frock on Friday

I found a cute little Hawaiian print type dress this week and that is what I planned to wear. *Stupidly thinking it would fit proper without trying it on*

I cleaned it, ironed it and then went to wear it.. * Ooopsie a little tight.

So I had to quickly choose another I got at the same time.. and this is it.


Now I am not going to say I hate it.. But I am not in love with it either. This is a dress I am going to re-sell. Yes I think its cute.. but it's TOO FLOWEY AND RUFFLY. The easiest way I can explain it... is I felt like *Little Bo Peep*

If only I had a cane and a lamb.


It was a good hopscotch dress. I hadn't hopscotched since school years. And if you wanted to know.. "I still have it!!" *haha*


The shoes were comfy and have a small heel. They didn't do well in playground gravel.


I wore these sweet little earrings which are clip ons. I didn't really feel any pain until I got home and my earlobes hurt. When I took them off I had ouchie indentations.


"Little Bo peep has lost her sheep and doesn't know where to find them..."

P.s. after looking at baby sheep pictures I would actually like some.

The are ADORABLE.


I found these sunnies at Salvation Army I paid 2.00 for them. The frames are in great condition. But the little lady who previously owned them.. must of put them face down alot the lenses are scratched right in the middle. Does anyone know the average cost to get new sun glass lenses put in old frames? Because I really want to wear these next spring and summer.


Last thing (Do you remember Flamingo lady??) Well last week someone posted a ad trying to sell some slide projector trays. I recently picked up a projector so I went to take a look. (It ended up being Flamingo ladies house!!) And I suppose she was wondering why I would be interested in them. And I told her "I LOVE OLD STUFF" And she told me ("She's cleaning out her Mom's basement and having a garage sale this Sat") I hadn't seen any ads until last night. *WOOO* OH MY LUSCIOUS LOBSTERS! That is going to be the first sale I go to. I am quite excited because I bought alot of stuff from her garage sale a few weeks back. I hope her Mom's stuff is just as good.


Happy Weekend Everyone!
