little bits & thrifting

 i went thrifting with my family when we were on vacation together recently. my dad bought a couple of plaid button-downs. i bought a book on succulents from the 70s for $1, a vintage dymo label maker for 50 cents, & two small metal zippers for 50 cents. i want to use the zippers when i sew a couple of little pouches. & i want to use the succulent book for when i start making terrariums. also i think the cover art is nice.

little bits:

• i've been sick in bed for most of last week with a cold. i've been watching pretty little liars. i surprised my self by watching it because it's not really my thing, but it was on netflix & it is kind of addicting.. 
• halfway through the week i had an allergic reaction to something i ate & broke out in hives. i've been taking benadryl for it, but the benadryl makes me super drowsy & i've been taking long naps during the day.
• last night miguel came to visit me. i was so happy to see him because it had been about ten days since i saw him last. i really missed him. we played dutch blitz with my mom & uncle & then grabbed some taco bell (what miguel likes to call "authentic mexican food" ;)) & went to see the bourne legacy. it was a really nice night : )
• i really want to get back into sending packages. i went on a little shopping spree, picking up a few items that i can send out. i love sending packages, but postage can be a bit much. so we shall see how it goes.
