Photos - Punta Cana

We went on a zip line excursion which was sooooo cool. Like flying.

Not sure I have ever posted a picture of myself on the blog before...but that's me!

Snorkeling in the clear, beautiful ocean was amazing

We held a stingray! Heavy and rubbery!

Hello Again

It's been awhile! I have been pretty busy lately but that is no excuse to abandon my blog! :) I plan on getting a little better at this blogging thing so if you are still interested... bare with me! I plan on posting more often!


For now I am gonna post some awesome finds I have recently added to my Etsy Shop (Hollie Would Vintage!)

Lovely Japanese Ceramic Mugs

A cool mail/paper organizer I spraypainted

Old Fisher Price TV/Radio Toy


Awesome Ohio Art Children's Globe

I will be back soon to share some pics from my recent trip to Punta Cana (!! soo fun!!) and some ideas I have for my sister's upcoming baby shower :)

It's Not Too Late!!!

I should have mentioned this earlier but......better late than never!!!

Sorry I haven't posted much lately. I have been doing a lot of yard sale-ing and have a lot of different crafty ideas I want to try... I just have to find the time! I did decide to be a sponsor on Elsie's Blog - A Beautiful Mess this month. It is quite fun to see my Store's name on the side of her blog :) I have been such a fan for years. This is the banner I made..... And here it is on her blog!! :)

These are the Days....

that make Thrifting worth while and soooo exciting!!!! In the summer I get every other Friday off work (by working an extra hour Monday through Thursday) so OF COURSE my mom and I head out to Estate Sales and Yard Sales. This past Friday was the best thrifting day I have had yet this summer! And below are some of my finds......
Thought this necklace was really pretty. Kinda reminded me of a Charley Harper illustration so I grabbed it up....not sure this one will make it to the Etsy Shop :)

And who could pass up a cute little camera, old recipe box (with LOTS of old recipes inside) or glass Tang pitcher!?

This picture isn't too great and doesn't do this find justice but I got a box of old letter and symbol stamps for a steal! Just need to get them cleaned up!

And I couldn't pass up a bag of old glasses for only $1....

And this is a shot of most of my finds together....at home safe and sound with me :) My poor 'office/crafting' room is about to BUST at the seams... And I LOVE IT :)

Fun!

Excited to be a part of Lune Vintage Blog's -Thrifty Thursday Post this week! I shared my most favorite Thrift Find. Here is a picture....


Check out what I have to say about these fab finds HERE! Thanks, Jill :)

MUCH NEEDED long weekend!

I have 4 days off! I am soooo excited! I definately need this break from work. I am going to be heading to Rochester, NY to visit my sister and her husband... should be fun times! I think we will be doing some yard saling and I might be getting another tattoo...SHHHH... don't tell my mom though..hehe! I am 27 years old, living on my own, owning my own home- takin care of myself... and still worry about my parents reaction. They didn't freak out too bad about the first one sooo hopefully this one won't be too much of a shocker. I will have to share photos once it is healed!

These are a couple fun finds from the past weekend. the 3 Circus Paint By Numbers are CERTAINLY not the best I have seen... but I have a hard time passing up paint-by-numbers when I see them so I grabbed them anyway. Fun colors if nothing else. I also found a fun faux bois Port A File and I really cool vintage travel bag that was meant for a pair of shoes. The tag is still on and I am pretty sure it was never used. LOVE the pattern and colors... you can't fully appreciate it in this picture :)

Hope everyone has a wonderful Memorial Day weekend! Any fun plans?

OHH! And who is signing up for the RVA Summercamp Class? I am pretty sure I am going to!
