WEEKEND ACCORDING TO INSTAGRAM

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. We had a great time at home visiting our families. 
Here is just a little on our weekend, according to Instagram...
It involved way too much bad for you good food;
including ice-cream three times. Yes, three. 
{A sundae + shamrock shake + blizzard. This is not a normal occurrence.}
I feel like by admitting it + telling all of you, I can start feeling less guilty. Or not.


The above...
...antique stores with the Mr. and my parents Saturday morning
...Coney Island for lunch: where I hate to say, they messed up every one of our orders {the Mr.'s twice}!
...my few vintage finds: two ties for the hubby {one is Yves Saint Laurent!} and turquoise mugs
...my sister helping me out of my "bored with my hair" slump {it's a lot darker!}
...one of my favorite meals growing up - tacos! No one does tacos like my Mom
...ice-cream trip #3 - the Mr. eating his DQ blizzard Sunday evening
...an old tv stand of my parent's = our new bar
...a lovely surprise upon arriving back to our little apartment... something I ordered from Zara arrived early!
...we finally got what we needed to hang our wedding reception guitar "guest-book"
{not pictured: a yummy breakfast of biscuits + gravy at my in-laws... because I was too busy eating!}

THE BIGGER THE BETTER

I love jewelry. 
I would venture to say my love of jewelry is comparable to a lot of women's love of shoes. 
That's not to say I don't love shoes, too. 
I just love jewelry more.

Antique... Bold... Bohomian... Hippie... Turquoise... Statement pieces that make an outfit. 
Diamonds are not this girl's best friend.

one / two / three / four / five / six / seven / eight

ps. How badly do I covet those two rings in the top photo? Very badly.

FLEA MARKET FINDS

Scott's Antique Market loot I promised to show you...




Globe... $20.
Mounted cow horns... $5 {such a steal I almost feel like we actually stole them!}
Brass spoons... $1 each.

As a side note - the Mr. and I watched "Green Lantern" last night... don't EVER make the same mistake. Bad. Just bad.

A SUNDAY SPENT ANTIQUING

First and foremost, I want to thank everyone for the kind comments and words of encouragement 
regarding yesterday's post. I appreciate it {and you}so much. Thank you, thank you!

A few weeks ago the Mr. and I made a trip to our favorite antique shop, Eclectiques.
It's a two level {with a tiny third level room}antique shop in Clintonville that we absolutely adore. 






{I showed you this ornament chandelier first here.}


{I keep watching for this coffee table to be marked down.}




This wire bin was our purchase for this particular day...


...and this was our purchase from our very first visit. We found the dresser for $85...


...then we took out the top two drawers, removed the drawer guides, 
drilled a hole in the back for cords, and turned it into our tv stand! We love it. What do you think?
