Now this is a few weeks late, but meh. I received some awesome gifts for Christmas and found some awesome stuffs at thrift stores in Ottawa during my brief visit over the holidays! My Granny even gave me a bunch of her old dresses from the 50's-70's. Pretty awesome! Here are some pictures:
A few of my Gifts: Baking theme! I am not really a New Years Resolution Theme person, but if I had one, it would be to cook and eat at home more. I enjoy doing it and enjoy eating it... but making the time is my problem. I will do it!
 |
| I have wanted one of these even before I new what I could do with it. They are just pretty! I have always wanted white or stainless steel and I got white, YAY! Thanks to Chris's mum and dad! |
 |
yummy vegan and almost gluten and sugar free cookbook... awesome! Thanks kate!! She also got my a bunch of accessories for baking. We are going to have a little bit of a friendly bake off... not to see who wins, since she would clearly, but to experiment and find some great recipes. I am sure we will be blogging about it.
Month #1: Gluten Free Vegan Pizza Dough! |
Thrift Store Finds: I have been focusing less on clothes... since I have too much already... but housewares is safe... for now.
 |
| Daisy (my kitty) already trying to destroy these glasses... She enjoys doing that at 3am! |
 |
| boot mugs to go with the one kate found me a while ago when I was looking for them! woo! people always enjoy using the ONE I had so now we can all share nicely! |
 |
| look like the glasses on the madmen season...something cover. I haven't been able to get into the show, but when I saw the cover with a glass like this I obsessed a bit and found some at a thrift store for a dollar each! I saw some on etsy for $70 for a set of 6. Say What?! |
 |
| milky glass bowls and serving ware. pretty. |
 |
| for when I dont have enough boot mugs for the peoples at my place, some glass tree trunk looking ones. weird. I like. |
Granny Gives: Being vintage obsessed I reallllllllly love getting stuff that has been in the family and means more than simply an awesome find! =)
 |
| The long one to the far right is my favorite!! I really need to start taking picture with a better camera..... or not with my cell phone......! |
 |
| I am pretty sure my granny made all of these. |
 |
| love these prints! my granny made the one on the far right! |
 |
| She also gave me her "wedding China" which in a note said that she had been collecting in a hope chest well before her wedding. collected it piece by piece. She also gave me some writing paper: I am GREAT at writing letters... but TERRIBLE at actually sending them. =( |
There is more, but it is all still packed since I have been working ever since I have got back. I did pretty well though! I'll be sure to post pictures of thing I have sorted and am going to be selling soon! I have given myself a deadline (back to the time management thing...) it will be a happenin' soon!
