Today I found some great finds at the Thrift Stores around here. I got three hand knitted and crocheted blankets, I figured I could use them for props in photography. One is green, one is pink, and the other, is an eclectic looking wavy crocheted blanket of red, orange and yellow. I really like it a lot.
I also found some knee high black boots, that are only a size too big, and they are marvelous! I have been looking for some knee high boots for a long time, and now I have some for the rock bottom price of $8.99-Thank you Savers!
I found two handled soup bowls that match the other two I purchased a month ago, along with this funky ceramic pyramid tea light holder. It has stars and moons, and I like it a lot.
I also happened upon an old style cosmetics case, and an old red leatherish suitcase-both of which I figured I could use for photo props. Over all, I am pleased with my little finds.
To top off this day, I went outside about an hour ago to see this magnificent display...

Color Me Katie
I am IN LOVE with this blog. Go check it out! COLOR ME KATIE! This blog is seriously fun and inspiring! I love love love it!
SNORGTEES.COM
Sometimes, when I'm on Facebook, (which to be honest with you, I'm getting a little sick of lately) there are advertisements for Snorgtees.com. Today I clicked on the link, and it took me to their site, which has silly t-shirts. Here are some of my favorites.
I thought those were pretty funny!

My day today...
I wish this post would be very interesting, but it isn't going to be. We dropped the husband off at school early this morning, and as I was wandering the aisles at Joann's fabric store with Ez, I realized that today was the first of February, and that our registration expired yesterday.
So, we went to the auto shop, and found out they could fit us in for the smog test in an hour. Ez and I decided to go to the park to play and take some pictures.
We went back to the auto shop and waited for another hour or so, here is a view from inside...

Hope you all had a more entertaining day! At least I got to spend my day with such a handsome, (and very well behaved for such a boring day) little boy!

So, we went to the auto shop, and found out they could fit us in for the smog test in an hour. Ez and I decided to go to the park to play and take some pictures.

After the test was over, I got the bad news that it was going to be a longer day than I had hoped for. It didn't pass safety due to a worn front tire. That meant, I had to go all the way across town to Les Schwab to get that sorted out.
Since they quoted us a wait time of approximately 30 minutes, we walked across the parking lot to a little restaurant and ate some lunch, just Ez and me.
We walked back over, were reminded that to prevent such wear that we should routinely rotate our tires every 5,000 miles, and then drove across town again to get the car re-inspected.
This time it passed, and since I didn't want to drive across town in the other direction and stand in line at the Registration office, I payed $8.00 extra to register my car at the auto shop. So, approximately $190 later, I sit here on my quasi-couch and type.
Here are some (I think) cool pictures from today.

Hope you all had a more entertaining day! At least I got to spend my day with such a handsome, (and very well behaved for such a boring day) little boy!

I am trying to keep the cost low so that I can get a number of people to build up my portfolio. I am just starting out. This endeavor has been in the back of my mind for a really long time. I've wanted to do this for years, and now I am doing it!

Ready for tomorrow!
I am ready to have a good night sleep, getting up tomorrow and going with the girlies to our writing class and hanging out afterward! It has been a LONG time since I've had that much time for myself.
The last two days, my sciatica has been acting up really bad, and nothing seems to help it. My sweetheart has told me to take a little extra time after class tomorrow to chill with the lovely ladies. I can't wait!
