so...i'm hooked. addicted. even a little obsessed. not with drugs, friends, but with the farm chicks. if you haven't seen this blog/website, you MUST visit it. traci is responsible for this craziness that has taken over me. or maybe for re-awakening it...i used to be a thrifter, a garage sale & 2nd hand antique junkie. but different houses require different dressings--& we have finally moved back to a home that i can "dress" in some fun vintage stuff. i am excited. what a perfect time of year to start searching--with a garage sale on every corner this summer?! these are just a few of my fun finds that i discovered at the 2nd chance thrift store. aren't these strawberry cups cute? and i just got the better homes & gardens cookbook this last week, still filled with someone's recipes... i found the other one a few weeks ago. these pillow cases i've put up in my kitchen. of course, if you know me at all, this is all subject to change at a moment's notice. i tend to be a little fickle in the decorating department. furniture may be rearranged, things taken out & put in different rooms...it's crazy, but SO FUN!! if any of you want to go thrifting with me or catch some garage sales this summer, call me up!

You are hysterical! I actually thought I had somehow ended up at the Farm Chick's blog again this morning! Love all your red accents...and I have one of those vintage cookbooks, and reference it often for strange things!

I am so there with joining you for thrifting and garage saleing! How many kids can we cram in a car?

oh, we can cram kids anywhere. they're resilient. :) we'll have to plan a couple of garage sale saturday outings. like, meet somewhere at 7:30, get coffee, get a plan together....& shop our little butts off! drop the kids off here--tim won't care!! :)
