mushy bananas and thrifting.

OH MY STARS! (as my sister would say)
today was incredible, or as i have said all day...delicious.

first i made the best loaf of banana bread that i have ever attempted. i found a wonderful recipe through one of my most favorite time wasting sites ever: stumble upon. my new all time favorite baking site? joy of baking! their recipes are so easy to follow and their website is easy to get around which i really love. :)

melodie and i ended up going on a picture run for a shoot she did this month, and we also decided to pick up some items for a DIY that i will post as soon as it is finished. *teaser: silver spray paint, grandma floral patterns, and an old bookcase. i feel that this is our best yet!* while we were out, we decided to run into the salvation army. after realizing that we have not been to the SA in forever we dug in to see what goodies we could find.

OH MAN did we hit the jackpot! today happened to be 50% off the ENTIRE store. apparently it happens once a month and that once was today!





mel just LOVES old smelly books,
and honestly who can resist a gilded dollar book?



i don't think we can ever pass up a french record.
i'll let ya know if it's any good.



i took out the mirror closet door in my room, and thought this old lady mirror would be nice to have since i have this weird thing about being able to do my make-up in my room.  
(it even has the magnifier on the other side!)

now for my favorite part:
FABRIC!!!!!
a dollar a piece!
i can't wait to sew!







this would be melodies new steal:


she got it mainly because of the strap, which i admit is stellar.



thrifting is always my favorite, but today was really cool. did i tell you that we tried on all the dresses from any era other than ours? ha! i am so glad that those pics are on film not digital.

queston of the evening: back in say the seventies, was it cool to be "vintage"? like did our parents run around in their grandparents old clothes because they thought it was groovy?

i will leave you with that mental picture!
peace and love!
