There’s nothing like a real typewriter font…

Gonna go drop this off in my bee eff eff’s mailbox.

 

Imagine the Possibilities.

Your Trash, My Treasure. Another great find. Got this beauty from Craigslist for a mere twenty bucks. A vintage “Adler” typewriter, ribbon still in tact. So sexy. I can’t wait to play with it. Library cards written in classic “type”. Mmmm. Hand typed Valentines? Yes please!

Favorite song of Twenty Eleven Thus Far

I remember when “Young Folks” by Peter, Bjorn and John came out, I was in love. It was so smooth, fun, and catchy. In a “classic” way with a kinda vintage feel. Whistling is the way. This song is that good too. Check it out.

Recipe Card Wedding Invites

I couldn’t resist. Almost makes me wanna get married just to have these for my own!

Recipe Card – hand stamped with my swoonish mason jar rubber stamp ❤ ❤ ❤ (Yes I know there’s a spelling mistake… pfft).

I Love Everything Mason

Ok, so if you were looking closely at my last post – you may have caught a glimpse of my new prized possession. Would you believe I actually stumbled upon a mason jar stamp! At Michaels! Swoon. Stay tuned for new “mason-inspired” wedding invites. 😉

Another Boutique V.V. Find.

Your Trash, My Treasure.
This is why I love Value Village. $2.99 got me this.

Ok, there were a few found treasures. This one is my second favorite (just wait til you see my first). It’s so heavy though and I’m weak from a long day, so it will have to wait. This old rusty toolbox is an absolute treasure. I love the color and detail. I’ve personalized it a bit and turned it into a craft box. Check it out!

A Few Treats For Myself…

So I decided to use the money from my first two Etsy sales, to treat to myself to some Etsy goodness! Check out ShaneLilyRain from Missouri on Etsy. Such cool stuff! I got three things (just couldn’t resist). First, (above) this incredible vintage Letter Press drawer. It’s so sexy and worn. The best part is the steel handle, still intact, with the word HAMILTON engraved on it. How suiting!

I followed up with this collection of keys and set of rusty locks and am thinking that I’ll display some of them on the Letter Press Drawer, which I plan on hanging in my living room as a display case! I CAN’T WAIT!

It’s All About Simplicity.

Inspired by my repeated viewings of my PVR’d cooking shows, I think I’m going to make my own cook books. Simple recipes, with drawings of ingredients and outcomes, with very simple and basic ingredients. Those of you who know me, know that I love to cook. I haven’t been able to make anything incredible lately as I’ve been under the weather, but I picked up a small blender at Boutique V.V. for $5.99 and it’s changed my world. Checking the remnants of my fridge, I came upon some basil, garlic, spring onions, spinach and tomatoes. I boiled up some whole wheat pasta, threw all those ingredients into the blender for a mere 10 seconds – et voila! This delicious pasta, made in under 8 minutes, using only one pot. Healthy, hearty, and delicious! And best part, there were only 3 dishes – the pot, the tongs, and the blender blade! 🙂 (I ate it out of the pot, which is kind of ghetto, but I was alone and I’m sick, so it’s excusable). 😉
