Thrift Store treasures

 I had some luck today and found a bunch of really good condition glass. I think I have a collecting issue with teacups and saucers, haha. Maybe it's my love of coffee.....
The blue sets are vintage and called the Old town blue set from 1973. The retro green Corelle set is called spring blossom and made in the 1960's.

                             The crazy thing about this set is the cups are Pyrex and the
                              saucers are Corelle! Weird! and I found 8 of the saucers
                              and only two cups, haha.

                              I found these 9 cute glass Corelle cups all over the store. It was
                              like a treaure hunt!

                                               This is a precious saucer from Germany.Ooo.

                            
                                               This is a metal wall picture holder. Cute!
                                                I'm thinking this will be aqua soon..

                                      This glass canister had the ugliest floral stuff in it I've
                                       ever seen! This has endless possibilties now.

                                                      This is a cool light blue metal case

                                                (Don't mind the ugly tile in our guest room)
                                             This metal fireplace screen is in great condition!
                                             And it was 3.99! I'll need to find some candle holders
                                             for those rings.
                                             again I'll probably spray paint it soon :)
               * ALWAYS bleach your thrift store finds and run glass in the dishwasher to
                make sure it's clean!
                  Soooo who wants to know how much all of this was?!?!
                    $14.00!!! awesome!!!

Random Thoughts

First of all, I can't believe it's Thanksgiving week! Yikes! I haven't written much on this blog mostly because I haven't figured out what to write about. I must say, I may not always use proper english and correct commas so sorry about that :) 
I guess I'll start it off about my job. I love being a hairstylist. It amazes me to see transformations day after day and it never gets old. I would probably go crazy behind a desk and not having an artistic outlet. I love to see what today's trends are for hair and fashion to keep things fresh. I think you could get easy burnt out in this business if you didn't. I have some of the coolest clients. They range from ages 3 to 60's. I love that I have an array of ages and styles to work with. I would say I love hair color the best. The possibilities are endless and it's ability to alter someones whole image and even the way they feel about themselves, its like an instant boost of happiness! I hope you love your job. Life's too short to be unhappy about your day to day work. 
 Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
