Yesteryear Revival

my new pan!

So, instead of packing (which is what I should be doing) I am going to update by blog. :) We are moving to Michigan in less than two weeks, and I have done nothing to get ready. Movers are coming on Friday to look around and give us a quote on how much it will cost. It sounds like our budget is going to be maxed out if we hire this company. Oh well, I think it will be so worth it to hire people to move us rather than us (and my parents) doing it ourselves yet again. I can't believe we just moved less than two months ago! Surprisingly, or maybe not so surprisingly, I've acquiring lotsa stuff in these two months, so now I need to weed some other things out. I'm getting excited about decorating our new place once we get settled...I see a new couch, some new rugs..hmm and lots more in our near future! :) So I bought this cute new vintage lidded pan at the thrift store yesterday, and guess what? I just saw the same pan on Bewitched!! I love it! Hmm I should take a picture of it to post. I've also recently been watching The Bob Newhart Show. I remember watching TV Land when I was younger and I love being able to check the shows out from the library now. Ok, well really I should get to work, however, I will probably stop by the Goodwill sometime today.

It's been a while since I've written and a lot has happened! It looks as though we will be moving to Michigan soon! A got a job at Michigan State, so we are going up for a visit this weekend to look at places. And by places, I mean houses. No more apartments, duplexes or townhomes...I want a house. Buying a house would be ideal, but seeing as how we have no money saved, renting is our only option for now. That's ok. :) My man got a job! I'm so proud of him. It's kind of scary to think we will actually be semi-stable for at least 3 years. I didn't think it would happen this soon. On another note, my cousin J has been visiting this week. We've been having some fun shopping and eating out and watching lotsa movies. Mary Tyler Moore is our current favorite show to watch. I think we are gonna go see a movie tonight, and then he is leaving tomorrow. I haven't really had much thrifting time this past week, so I'm hoping to get some time in this weekend in Michigan. New places!! So exciting! Ok well that's it for now.

my ever-growing vintage pyrex collection...

Well, my collection of vintage pyrex is growing day by day. I found a few new pieces at the big flea market on Sunday as well as some more vinyl. I've been looking and looking for some old quilts, but I haven't been very successful thus far. All the ones I've seen are either way to expensive or aren't in good enough shape to buy. Also, the other day I found a new antique store that had some amazing finds at really decent prices; I didn't get a chance to spend as much time as I would have liked, so I plan on going back sometime this week, but I did find A an old anchor tie tack. We had a good weekend with the in-laws, lots of shopping and eating like I expected. We got to try out a few new restaurants, and we shopped for interview attire for A. He is starting to get stressed about his pending interview, and I've been trying to keep him calm. It's not working. :) So once we are back from Michigan, my cousin J is coming to stay with us for a couple weeks and then his sister Kels is coming. I've been trying to think up lots of fun things to do while they are here as I'm not used to entertaining lively young ones for such an extended period of time. Luckily, there are some local festivals going on around the time they are here visiting, so that will give us something to do. Laying by the pool won't be such a bad idea either. Well, everyone is sleeping, so I better head to bed myself. Night.
