Thriftiquing 2.1

I am so behind on this post that it is sad -- but I have actually been doing crafting so in my eyes at least that makes up for the delay!

A few weeks ago I was able to spend a Sunday afternoon with Heather just hanging out. Now if you have been reading the past few weeks you know that when H and I hang out it really means spending time doing our fave kind of shopping ~~ Thriftiquing!

Here are a few of the things we spotted:

-- The Metal Chest was a tad pricey but it would be too cute to hold office supplies!

-- I have a secret plan for that fish basket ;) (hopefully it is still there HA)

-- I have seen better priced Spritzers but I loved all these green ones.

-- Vintage Chalkboard -- 'Nuff said!!

-- Cute little Kodak Photo Cutter -- LOVED it!

-- These Acorns were such a sweet pair.

-- Not sure what this huge wooden hand was made for but I give it props for originality.

-- Vintage travel banners and a fabulous old shutter!!

Friends, Fun, and Flying Corn

We recently enjoyed an evening out at the local corn maze with the Cain and Caudell Families. This was our 1st time experiencing a corn maze in the dark and it was great! It is something we will be doing each year now.

Hayden and Kyler were gung-ho running in the dark. They didn't seem to care that all they could see was cornstalks and knee-caps! Courtney and Erica got their workouts in chasing after them! BTW--did you know that if you ask perfect strangers if they know where the parents of the cute little kids standing near you are that they look at you with funny looks?

The only downside was the flying corn that was being tossed by unruly teenagers that is! Erica got hit in the hand and Emma got pegged right smack on the head! Lucky there was no bleeding involved, just some bruising and Em had a terrible headache the rest of the evening. I was proud because both my kids commented later (grain of salt here) that they just couldn't see why some parents let their children run around and do things that that!! (Yea so I only really included that comment here so that I can have a record of it)

Afterwards we had Emma's fave thing--Boiled Peanuts!

Then we headed by to the Cain's to roast some marshmallows. Did you know they bubbled up like this when left by the edge of the fire? --Me neither, but then again I prefer not to waste a good roasted marshmallow!
