First off, an apology on this WordPress Theme – it’s having issues, I don’t like it, and will probably be changing it soon. I’m in the middle of trying to work up a custom header, as well (that’s tougher than I realized!) so things maybe a bit wonky for a few days.
Okay, on to the post –
The children and I were out for coffee this morning with friends, and on the way home, we swung by our favorite thrift store. It was a pretty successful outing – especially considering these goodies only set me back $2.25 in total (the hand-thrown coffee mug is my favorite piece).

I’d been eyeing this “so-ugly-but-I-am-in-love-with-it” chair for weeks and weeks, as they slowly lowered the price from the original $125 (yikes!) down to $30. Still a big purchase for me, but we have hardly any furniture in our new home, so I just went for it.
It took quite a bit of maneuvering to get it to fit in the back of my minivan (amazing how little space there is in a huge minivan when it’s full of three carseats, spare clothes/diapers, snack cooler, etc.). Quite comfy, too, despite it’s more formal shape.  Here’s hoping my husband enjoys crazy, bright (shall we say “loud”?) floral in our living room.
I’m glad you got the chair. It’s great! I have a few things like that where for some reason I just love them even though something about them is off. Cute creamer/sugar set too!
