My weekend = JUST DUCKY

Saturday I had plans to go to go do a little thrifting and then go back to the Ramen place I went to last week. (Because I wanted my Parents to come with us and try it.) It was nice and sunny... so I decided to also dress the part in a vintage yellow cardigan complete with a flower in my hair and in my ears!


Just before leaving the first thrift shop I spotted a little fellow that really looked like he wanted to get the heck off of the toy shelf and into a loving home.

So I did just that and bought the rubber duck which I named Murphy.

Murphy was a little dirty and looked like he really wanted a bath.
There he sat in my sink getting all soaped up and clean.

He was thrilled I had purchased him brought him home and gave him a nice sudsy bath.



That is when he told me about his past being a street duck & not having a home. He used to eat discarded bread crumbs people would leave him but they usually had some spots of mold.

But Murphy is no ordinary duck ... can you tell how he is different?


"He's a flipping HUGE rubber duck"

Which is the main reason I needed to bring him home



When I saw him I thought he would be great in a "future" babies nursery.



But until then he is a great story teller. He always has TONS of bath stories!


Hope you all had a fantastic weekend.

Mine was QUACKTASTIC!

I Love Lamp! Well lamps.. Bowls too if you really wanna know.

Hello there everyone!


Here is my finds from the past couple weeks, Things have started to add up so I better hurry and get them posted. Two weeks ago I got this funky lamp at a yard sale the seller had a sticker with $8.00 posted on it I asked if she would take $6.00 she said yes and the lamp became mine. It just makes me happy to look at. (Turned on or not it doesn't matter) *lol*



I found this Gem in a local thrift store for $6.99. I told myself I better think about it before I purchase. (I do that sometimes.. half the time I don't return to buy the item the other half I do) Sometimes it just helps weed out purchases.. but other times I end up regretting it because when I go back it's gone. I got up bright and early to go get the lamp I could not even sleep properly. *hahah*




I am still looking for the perfect shade to this Halloween colored lamp of amazingness!

These Pyrex bowls were found at an estate sale and had a price tag of $7.00 which I happily paid. They are in quite good condition and will brighten up any kitchen. They sort of had a bit of a dusty like film on them but once washed once it has gotten better.





My Guys Birthday was on the 21 we went to a Restaurant for all you can eat ribs. *mmm* *mmm* I wore this lovely little vintage dress to celebrate. I love the ric rac design on it along with the flowers. It's a tiny bit big, but heck that didn't stop me.


*lol* @ my face "There was windows all around the restaurant, I just wanted the pic of me next to the barrel to hurry and be taken." I am sure you can tell!


New vintage cruiser found at local thrift for $14.99 (I couldn't just let it sit there you guys!!) This is a green All Pro Elite (Apparently came from Kmart back in the day) I bought it because it was green!!! My first green bike. WOOHOO! I took it on the first ride tonight and that is when I took this photo. P.s. my thermos matches!


Oooh Ohhh look at the kickstand! I named the bike (Grasshopper Elite)



It sort of looks like a grasshopper with those legs!


I have more to show and will do so next post.

See you soon!
