I have just a few photos from Kansas City to share with you this morning. All in all, it was an amazing trip. We ate barbecue. We honky tonked. We thrifted. We ate more barbecue. We toured Boulevard ...
Hey friends! Are you enjoying the long weekend so far? I surely hope so! If the mood strikes you to go thrifting tomorrow, you should definitely go, because there are a ton of sales going on. Here...

Last night, I took myself on a date to the spa. I’m usually pretty good at resisting the many deals and offers that roll through my Inbox, but when I saw Spot Spa’s spring detox special e...

{image source} I watched the movie “Everything Must Go” today while I did a mega-purge of my thrifting room/office. It seemed fitting to watch a movie about a man who decides to sell off ...
{source} ♥ This plinko game creates poetry out of tweets from Fox News and the New York Times. Cool! ♥ Loving both of these summery cut-off makeovers. Since I live in dresses and cut-offs all summer ...
I spent some time on my deck this making a massive to-do list for the day in the world’s most adorable notepad holder. I found this needlepoint beaut at the Salvation Army in Austin, Minnesota ...

It seems like before any of our Mighty Swell sales, Rae and I are always finishing something up at the 11th hour. Take, for example, this bunting, which Rae whipped up out of leftover crepe paper tha...
I’ve recently become addicted to grown awfully fond of practicing hot yoga at a wonderfully friendly studio in Uptown called Moksha Yoga. While I absolutely LOVE what it’s been doing for ...
I have two passes to the Girls Got Rhythm Fest—worth $130—and I want to give ‘em away to one of you. To enter, leave a comment on this post telling me what act(s) on the lineup you’d love...

If I had more command over myself, I probably would have made it to yoga class at 8 a.m., as intended. Instead, I’m putzing around the house, full mug of coffee in hand, Nine to Five on the tub...
One of the questions I’m most often asked by blog readers, twitter followers and friends is “which thrift store has the best selection of furniture?” And most often, my recommendati...
Is there anything more fulfilling than a good, old-fashioned bookstore shopping spree? I don’t mean the “fill up the Amazon shopping cart” kind (fulfilling in an altogether differen...
Been into collecting pretty peach things lately, or so it seems. Even if a thrift’s a total dud, I can practically always find a scarf I like enough to bring home. This one was 50 cents at Salv...

I didn’t get an Easter basket this year. Instead, on Easter Sunday, my mom gifted me this beautiful dress. She found it at our favorite up north thrift that’s right across the street from...
{source} I must confess…I really lagged when it came to hopping on the Pinterest bandwagon. I thought it was a giant time suck for the wedding obsessed, it’s true! But the last of my resi...
