Things We Love Lately

I love thrifting (big surprise there!)

I went with my mom, brother, and sister in law thrifting a couple of weeks ago and I've decided that we need to make this a regular thing. They were so much fun to shop with and they got my obsession. They GOT it! They even bought a BEAUTIFUL desk to refurbish.

I bought this


It's huge.
HUGE!
Everyone was laughing as I was carrying it out of the store, bumping into things and people (oops).
I paid $8 for her and she is gorgeous!
Obviously the massive shade needs to go, but the base is soooo me.



I also bought a red, wooden apple for $0.25.
I spray painted her white and put on some decal stickers I had lying around.


I love it.

She decorates with fake fruit all the time.


Though, I'm guessing hers' aren't cheap and spray painted. Oh well.


We loved having Davin's cousin and his wife over for dinner on Sunday. Such fun people.
We got to meet their sweet little girl they adopted.


Isn't she precious!!
We are so happy for this little family.



I love these things.


As the lady in line behind me at the store said "You know that summer has arrived when you see those in stores!"
Well, she was wrong.
It's freezing here.
I still love eating them though even if I do it with a blanket wrapped around me.



I love that I have a new goal for this summer.
My goal is to learn how to use this

What is it?
The only person who probably knows is my mother in law.
She gave it to me yeeeaaaars ago and it has been waiting in my storage room.
Waiting for me to get the nerve to break her out.
Yes, Kristin Garlick is going to learn how to use a sewing machine.
Gasp! I know. I'm kinda nervous.


We (that means Davin too) are so in love with these two.


Love. Love. Love!


What do you love lately?

great finds, as usual.
yard sale season is coming soon too (if the weather ever cooperates!) I wish we still lived closer and could do that regularly again.
As for the sewing. I recommend making quilt tops, all straight lines and no backstitching (that's what I'm talking about!)

I LOVE that otter pop photo!

Lets learn to sew together please please please. One of my ultra talented friends has done so many cool things on her sewing machine and I need to learn. However I'm not sure that I want to be crafty with you because you would put me to shame.
