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

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....
