Trunks, Silver goblets, and Copper mugs... Oh my

This weekend we drove around downtown seattle to thrift stores and antique malls. Most were along the water and near the piers so we took little walks down those as well. It was a really nice day and we had spend all morning in bed reading and Josh made me breakfast in bed. Mostly I was shocked that he let me eat in bed haha ( He loathes crumbs!!) I had banana chocolate chip pancakes with real maple syrup and a tall cold glass of milk and I didn't even have to stop reading. Thanks hubs!

We stopped first at the Salvation Army so we could get some of our shopping bug out on things that we can afford :) And when we got there it happened to be a special weekend where everything was 1/2 off!! So there were tons of people but we came out with silver plated wine glasses that match our silverware (also tarnished real silver- they were my great-aunt Florence's), 4 copper mugs, and a cute glass container to hold our syrup that I decided I needed.

At the next antique mall downtown there were a lot of fun things. Josh got an old tool that he has been wanting because now they are all digital and he wanted a manual one to play with. And I got my trunk!! We've been looking for one to put my socks and such in considering right now they are in cardboard boxes and they are all so expensive- We found this one for $20 and I knew it was the one. It has it's shipping info printed on it still and it was sent from Chicago to Washington.

We took a photo at this same place last year when he came to visit. 

I was also wearing the same skirt :)

Apartment updates

We've done some craigslist shopping and thrift store thrifting since I posted our apartment photos. For instance we now own a real couch...So I thought I'd share some photos.

I'm going to post some wedding photos soon and share a little bit about it. Our family and friends helped Joshua & I make almost everything. We had so many loving hands helping our wedding happen and it meant so much to us. I'll share more about it soonish

Until then here are living spaces updates

 I have had this fruit hanging thing for 3 years and I finally hung it from the ceiling and put fruit in it for the first time ever this week. Those bananas are bound for banana bread next week and I can't wait.

 Our bedroom art wall is growing! It has- a ticket stub collage I made from highschool, a photo print that our awesome friend Aurora sent us as a wedding gift, a painting I bought from a woman in Chinatown in Chicago, E is for Elrod, a music poster collage I made for DAAP freshman year that Josh loves, a gas gauge from our gas can money that Dave and Nick put together for a wedding- fantastic reminder of all the great people we have supporting us!

 A COUCH! It is purple but sometimes it plays tricks and seems brownishy. Also Dahlia pillows that I got from etsy- MARIESCOSYCUSHIONS she hand printed them and shocker they are orange :)

I found this sweet hanging mirror ball for $2 at an antique store near our apartment. It is being reserved for my air plant that I will be ordering soon!!!


Tomorrow is our 2 month anniversary of being married and I must say that I am still very happy that I married my hubs. We think we're really good together I cook-he cleans, I hit snooze-he shakes me awake, I buy-he saves, I bake-he loves sweets, I like him-he tolerates me= love :)
