It's always, always a work in progress, but I am so happy to have a home that I love just sitting in. Every piece is either found, or thrifted, or made, or sought after...everything has a story behind it and within it. I'll never forget this little duplex. 

thrifting karma

 

You know the  Buffalo Exchange Earth Day sale, where everything is one dollar? I always went to the one in Bellingham and it was a bit crowded but fairly calm and organized and I usually got a few good pieces. On Saturday I attempted the San Diego one...and it quite literally turned into a pile of intense women-on-a-mission practically wrestling over a huge pile of clothes. These ladies were not messing around. For fear of getting stepped on, I decided to skip it and go thrifting instead, where the heavens opened up and I found all these perfect spring pieces. And I didn't have to fight anyone for them! Oh, how I love a good thrift haul. 

thrifted + made

Last week I had a morning off where I went to my favorite thrift stores AND the nursery down the street and it was basically the best retail therapy of all. I was torn between using this sweet white mug for coffee or for planting, then I tried to sip coffee out of it and it was real awkward--so in went my favorite succulent. The mug was one dollar and the teensy glasses were 30 cents each so this miiiight be the cheapest kitchen centerpiece possible, while bringing the perfect touch of spring to our kitchen. And I might even be able to keep these lil guys alive long-term, fingers crossed.
