I have had my fair share of bad luck when it comes to antique shopping. Once I bought an amazing typewriter for $25. It isn’t exactly usable right now, but it makes for a great decoration.

However! The past week has been filled with great antiquing adventures sometimes by myself and sometimes with my dear friend Charissa. We have found a ton of well-priced items and we have had to hold each other accountable to not buying everything in the store.

Yesterday, I finally started my Pyrex collection:

It’s perfect.

Another important note…

Today I spent a part of my afternoon with my really wonderful friend Alyssa. We talked about blogging – the personal side and the professional side. It has always been hard for me to share my heart in a blog, even just a little. But give me a paper and a pen, and I will write for hours. Alyssa reminded me that blogging and crafting is something I have to do for myself.

Whatever you love… you shouldn’t do for anyone else. For me it might be crafts. For others it might be something different. All I know is that if you are doing what you love, but you’re not doing it for your own well being, you will love it less.

With that being said, I would like to blog more and perhaps share my heart a little more.
