some of my new pretty thrifted sheets
ahh...so today was good. A and i slept in late, he made pancakes when we got up and our couch and daybed got delivered just in time for us to run out of town to an estate sale. which, by the way, was amazingly amazing. this was seriously the best estate sale i've ever been to. i mean i guess i haven't been to a ton of estate sales, but this has been the best thus far. it was out in the country a little ways outside of town, and it was a house with a huge barn in the backyard (which were woods, awesome!). so the barn used to be an antique store run by the lady that lived in the house. now, unfortunately, we didn't know about the sale til the second day, so i can only imagine what goodies we could have found had we been there the first day....But, we got a few cool things anyways. but really just the adventure was so fun. being in the house and barn, imagining what it would have been like to visit when the antique store was in it's heyday. oh my gosh, and the daydreaming...ideas about owning my own thrift store or flea market, right behind our (theoretical) house that backs up to the woods in a giant barn or other old structure. i cannot believe we didn't have a camera on us, not even a phone camera! i sooo wanted to post pictures of this place. it was awesome. so anyways, then the day got even better, although really i don't know how. we went into the little town nearby the estate sale, which A and i have fallen in love with! it's the quaintest (hehe) little town with a town square and its very own (best part) antique district! so we went exploring around the antique area and found some awesome stuff, but we didn't purchase anything today because lack of funds is an issue at the moment. but, we know where to go in the future, so that's good. we also stopped into the local goodwill and habitat restore. (if anyone doesn't know about habitat for humanity restores...well, they are awesome and you should check one out). but yeah, by this time we were starving so we stopped at an A&W thinking it was a little fast-food drive thru ya know? but no! it was a restaurant! and it was so fun! i had grilled cheese (of course) and a rootbeer float, yum. and A had a patty melt and brat, yuck. :) so i thought the fun was over for the day as we headed home, but then tonight we went to a movie. yay. we haven't been in a while, and it was so fun and the movie was awesome. we saw The Kids are All Right. i love julianne moore and mark ruffalo. it was cute and funny and kinda sad sometimes. lol i should be a movie critic. ok well that's all. now we are home, and i'm going to bed soon. so til later...
