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!!!

Missing treasure & Helga has a groovy dancing twin

Well Genie Coconut says: I have still not taken photos of my Garage sale finds. I am going to have to start doing this the same day I buy them.. because now I am trying to remember what I bought this Saturday. One thing I know is it isn't much. The past few weekends have been horrible for finding vintage.

But I did find the Turban hat above along with another one will I will show you properly in my next post. (You know.. when the barn is painted!)

(Not vintage) This is a old navy sundress I got for under $1

Pardon the wrinkles - Apparently watching a movie in it creates a wrinkle effect. Will be perfect for next summer in the hot heat.

Hawaiian dress I got for under $1 This should also see some use next summer!

This evening I went for my first bike ride of Fall. I love to ride my bikes, I find it very relaxing. The bike I am riding is named Casper and it was purchased on October 1 for a Twenty at Salvation Army.

In a few days Casper and I will be celebrating our 1 year Anniversary.
*lol*

I rode past the river

And this weeping willow

Stopped at this tall grass to take a picture

Rode past this group of Canadian Geese

And stopped on a little bridge to enjoy this sweet sunset

Bye bye ducks

Yesterday I picked up 3 records. And I really loved the photos on one of them that is from 1967. Check out (HELGA) getting her groove on!

"Helga if this is not you.. then you have a twin Sister"

I about dropped the Vinyl once I spotted the resemblance.

EEEEEEEKKK!

I wonder who she is?!

Bicycling with a deer

Today I decided to go out on Casper again and enjoy the Autumn air. I have had Casper less than 2 weeks and have already rode it quite alot.
Today we drove over crispy leaves and rode while the sun started to set.

But the whole point of this post is that I got totally freaked out near the end of my ride. I had been looking at the ground "Who knows why" and when I looked up I realized there was a deer in front of my just feet away. I yelled "OH MY GOD" and once passed it. "HOLY CRAP".

Cute cute cute cute cute

Then deerie walked down the hill and disappeared. So I continued on with my lovely ride.




Me celebrating that the deer didn't charge me and steal my bike!
*Have a lovely weekend.*

Casper the bicycle

I went thrifting on Oct. 1 I found some little vintage finds here and there. At my last stop I found the bike I have named Casper.
I have been looking for a vintage bike. (ALL SPRING & SUMMER) No luck whatsoever.. they were all too expensive for my liking. A few weeks back I walked into a thrift to see a lovely red bicycle.. My excitement skyrocketed as I ran over.. only to find a SOLD sign on the seat, (BOO) I was so sad.
Well when I first spotted Casper my heart fluttered and then I thought.. NOPE DON'T GET EXCITED.. IT IS PROBABLY SOLD! Well turns out it wasn't. I purchased Casper for $20.00 I came to find out had I went there a day later it would have been gone. Apparently the employees there have to wait 1 business day before they can buy anything that comes in. Two of them wanted the bike. Best part is I bought it in the last 20 minutes before they closed.
If your wondering about the name I figured since it's white and purchased in October Casper was a fitting name. I was originally looking for a bike a few years older but for now this is great and if I do ever find one.. well then Casper will have a sibling. *lol*

P.s. On Saturday I spotted a GORGEOUS Formica kitchen table. It's the glittery kind with a star burst design. The store was closing and I could not make up my mind whether to purchase or not. I am going back tomorrow morning to see if it's still there. *Oh I hope I hope I hope* I lost out on the two previous ones I have came across. One was 20$ (Whoever bought that got a HELLUVA deal)
The other 30$ but it had a bit of minor damage so I kind of let it pass. This one I am looking at is 50$ That is kinda steep for me to pay atm but I have been dreaming of finding the perfect one and HELL I LOVE star bursts.. imagine staring at them whilst eating spaghetti. ;)

I will update you soon.
