All of my hairs are cut

Today was another low key day of Christmas vacation.  I am trying to soak up every ounce of relaxation before I go back to work next week and it has been glorious enjoying it with my husband.  We both got our hair cut and my head feels so much lighter!  Cameron always asks which hair I had cut and it is now a joke in our house to say we are going to get our hairs cut.  Sounds silly but it always makes us laugh :)

We enjoyed a trip to the flea market after and found new movies to watch tonight.  Our new television is getting a lot of use!

Enjoy day 3 of 365.

A little bit of this, a little bit of that

This post is going to be way random... oh well :)  First I wanted to share a picture with some of our thrifstore finds combined with some wedding items to give you all an idea of the decor we are going for:

The shoe is the bridesmaid's shoes and next to it is the pewter swatch from Davids Bridal.

Below are pictures of the amazing finds from thrifting yesterday.  Cameron and I were celebrating 11 months together and he wanted to do something that I enjoyed so we went thrifting for wedding things :)  We found everything below for $1.75 at the DAV!!!!!  Be jealous ;)

Here is the flower girl basket I found.  I want to add some of the small fabric flowers I made around the edges, and do something to the handle.

These bottles were $.25 a piece!  I have been looking for more milk glass vases, but they can be expensive so I was really happy to find both of these.

I picked up three of these glass for $.25 a piece as well.  I want to use them in centerpieces for a look similar to the one below.

How cute are the roses coming out of the glasses!  I love this set of shots from Aisle Candy!

To end the randomness I wanted to post a cute set of pictures (also from Aisle Candy) of the most adorable flower girls!  I can't wait for how cute mine will look!

Have a great Monday night!  I am off to class!

Thrifting makes the world go round

I am so sorry that I have not posted almost all week!  The days got away from me :(

I wanted to show all of you some amazing wedding pieces that I have found while thrifting!  In order to achieve the vintage feeling I am going for, thrifing has almost become a necessity to find unique items that set the mood for the event.

Cameron and I went to the STD flee market here in Springfield and found a wide collection of glasses and vases to use as part of the centerpieces.

 This is only about half of the glass bottles that we found, and we got everything for about $20!  It was definitely worth the trip!

I was also looking for tea cups and pitchers that could be used as part of the centerpieces (you can see them above as well).

The tea cups came in a pack of two for $1 and the pitcher and saucer was a dollar as well!  I can't wait to see how they look with flowers in them.  Here is a picture to show you the look I am hoping to achieve with the tea cups:

Janae Hardy is an amazing photographer from the Springfield area, and the pictures above make me want every detail of my wedding to be amazing!

On the same thrift trip, Cameron and I saw a group of 8 dessert sized plates, but I was unsure if I could use them in the wedding or if they fit.  Almost immediately after leaving, I knew that I wanted them, but I waited a few days just to make sure :)

We got all of them for $10, and the idea is to use them as part of the centerpieces :)  They are so vintage and lovely, and they were definitely a lucky find!

Here is an idea of what the vases will look like with bright yellow flowers in them:

I am really excited to see how the collection of vases all comes together!

On a seperate subject, what do you all think about this platter:

Is it too much yellow?  Not classy enough?  Or just right?  I am still unsure, but Wal-Mart has a whole outdoor dishes section right now and yellow is one of the colors.  My interst was piqued, but I need some outside opinions.

That is all for now!  Have a great Saturday :)  I am going to get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather here in Springfield.
