crafting & new buys

i've been buying a lot of things while on spring break. it's not the best thing becuase i'm spending too much money! but at least i'm getting good prices : )

the best price i think i have gotten is for the blackbird fly i got from urban outfitters. it was on clearance because one of the parts was broken (the part was not really needed) & the lens cap was missing. it works perfectly fine though! the blackbird usually goes for $125, but i got it for $29.99! i'm so excited. it's such a neat camera. wendy & i used it for the first time today!

i bought a tape writer $4.99, books $0.50 each, anthropologie coin purse $9.99, uo bowls $1.99 each, & antrhopologie plates $3.99 each. my mom surprised me with the owl door knocker : )

wendy & i had a crafting day yesterday. we both had tote bags we got at a thrift store for $0.50. we then sewed pockets on them to hide the print that we didnt' want. i think they truned out really cute!

relaxing saturday

yesterday was relaxing. we visited my friend's new house. she had a tree swing! it was really cute. we made vegan peanut butter cookies. they were so good!

it was earth hour last night from 8:30 to 9:30. many people around the world turned off their lights for that one hour last night. a group of my friends had an earth hour party in the dark. great fun!

i'm super excited for the new movie your highness coming in october with zooey deschanel & james franco : ) they finally have a photo up for it at imdb.

i received an award from jennifer of make tea & not war! thanks jennifer! it made me smile.

the city with wendy

wendy & i went to the city to go thrifting. first we ate lunch at a vegan (because wendy is vegan & i am vegetarian!) asian restaurant. we ordered so much food & we took home about half of it for later. for dessert, i had fresh mango & sticky rice. it was amazing!this is what i bought: a handmade in spain blue bottle made of recycled glass $0.99, anansi boys by neil gaiman $1.49, & how to host a murder game $1.99. replies:

when we had lunch, wendy had sushi that came in the cutest little tray. (photo credit: wendy)

she came bearing gifts of candy. i thought this one was really cute: "hello bee bee." & i liked the packaging of the other one.when we both arrived home, i had a package waiting for me from mieke willems! i had ordered a little something because i wanted to have something from them before they closed shop. thank you ladies!wendy had the cutest socks on last night. glasses! i loved them : )
