Thrifting Fun!

Okay, so if you read my last post then you would know I was going to hit up some thrift stores in Palm Springs! Palm Springs always has a great reputation for having some pretty amazing thrift store items, as of course this is a town rich people move to when they retire. There were 4 thrift stores and a couple antique stores that were literally 2-3 minutes from where I was staying. The thrift stores do have some pretty fancy schmancy items, but man, it shows in the price. Nonetheless, still super fun. I took some pictures of my favorite finds :)

How cute is this? It was too pricey for the $59 price tag, but I think this could definitely be an easy DIY.

I'm thinking a phone like THIS from Amazon. Then just paint on (or stickers, I think that was what this phone had on it) your own design. I might try this!

I'm a sucker for vintage cameras. Why can't today's cameras still look like this? (but still have their amazing modern capabilities ;p)

Cutest sunglasses ever.

And finally, the only item I actually bought. This great purse (unused!) at Goodwill. It was $14.99, which I guess is pricey for a Goodwill, but it's unused and great quality. I'd probably drop close to $100 bucks for a brand new purse like this so $14.99 is definitely a steal!

I had so much fun! Feel free to share your fav thrift store finds! :)

Happy Thursday!- Megan

Hello from Palm Springs!

Getting myself a little 5 day vacation in Palm Springs!...kind of...not really....ok..so it's "business". And by business I mean, I dog-sit. Yup, I have a degree yet I get my money by living at other peoples houses while they are on vacation and watch their dogs. I've been doing it for 4 years or so while I've been going to college. And since I don't have a job yet (a real one) I'm still in the dog-sitting business. I really enjoy it. I still live at home so it's nice to be on my own and get away sometimes. Sometimes I'm booked for months at a time so it's pretty fun! (They're all people I know by the way. I don't go to strangers houses and watch their pets...that might be creepy/scary??)

Anyways, I plan to do some cool crafts while I'm here...and get out too. There's a thrift store down the street I want to check out. I'm thinking I might find some good thrifting finds here in Palm Springs. I also started making a dress. If it comes out good I'll do an outfit post with it. I'm trying to be optimistic here but I doubt it will come out good. This is the second thing I've made with a sewing machine. The first was a shirt about 6 years ago. It came out okay, I guess, but I used a pattern. I'm stubborn and don't like the work involved with patterns so I'm making this one completely by scratch. Good luck me. So far I'm almost done with the top part...and it looks good so far..but things can still go horribly wrong. Anyways I might as well post some pictures from today to make this post a little more lively. Sorry, I feel like this post is everywhere....vacation brain!
