Interplanetary

This weekend was phenomenal despite the fact that I was in rather excruciating pain, at least on Monday. I had a pain in the neck and even 800 mg ibuprofen wasn't cutting it. There was a huge sale at thrift town on Sunday and we were extremely successful. There is one particular orange vintage dress I am rather excited about. Last night I drank a bit of Finlaggan to dull the pain and sure enough today the pain is a bit more tolerable.  I would recommend it if you are a snobby Scotch drinker on a budget. They actually get their whiskey from the excess production of two of Islay's best distilleries (Lagavulin and Caol Ila).

I am finally posting one of my recent acquisitions, this lovely purple butterfly blouse. I got this, among other amazingness, Saturday night when I got a huge free bag of clothes from someone whose rejects were actually better than some of the stuff in my closet. I ended up changing the shorts later as they are so annoyingly bunchy.

I took Bea to our favorite park today and we had such a great time. Much of the time we were just blowing bubbles although we did make a sand castle which she took much delight in destroying. I just love watching her play. She is such a daredevil but also cautious, thank goodness.

This photo is from our daily walk. I got this adorable gingham shirt with daisies at the thrift town sale last weekend. "5, 6, pick up sticks!"

I wanted to take a pic of Bea's awesome interplanetary leggings before she went to bed and she was such an amazing model (probably because she knew  that once the shoot was over it was bedtime.) I have the best little girl!

The weekend started as a smashing success of chocolate chip pancake goodness.

Bea wore her adorable floral romper (found at thrift town) to the park.

I am so behind on outfit posts and have a ton of new stuff to share. However today I wanted to wear some tried and true pieces from my closet.

Alaric snagged this amazing bag at the Bows and Arrows sale last week.

It was so nice to read my book. Alaric enjoyed doing his homework al fresco for a change.

Bea finally graduated to a real bed. We still have to set up the frame but it was a most momentous occasion.

The weekend has been incredible so far and tomorrow is another adventure. I think we are going to go thrifting. I am planning on launching an Etsy store this summer, mainly to give me an excuse for frequent vintage searching. Tonight one of Alaric's friends, who is leaving town, gave me a ton of gorgeous vintage clothing in my size and Alaric got a ton of records. I can't wait to post all the finds!
