estates

al and i go to estate sales almost every weekend. sometimes they are gross and completely a waste of time, and sometimes i'm ecstatic to find a few cheap & mismatched things. today i found a pink pyrex baking pan ($4) to match the butter yellow one i love so much, a franciscan star burst creamer, and a turquoise sugar bowl that looks like it was born to go with this casserole. i'm always tempted to keep the things i find, but most of them end up in my etsy store because i don't need more stuff. one day soon i hope these finds are going into the cabin.

wedgie

seems i'm into comparison shopping lately. i found these wedge canvas oxfords on urbanoutfitters.com last week and showed them to leigh. she found a similar shoe in lisazain's etsy shop and i received them yesterday. her shoes are in such great shape. i'm not sure where she finds them but this pair of grasshoppers have never been worn. buying shoes online is hard, and i rarely fit shoes i try on in a store, but i ordered these with the help of lisa's extra measurements, and they fit! perfect for strolling in portland i think. time to check on the weather there...
