back in the u.s.s.r.

after all that talk about what i want/need from thrift stores, i got the itch to go search for all of these lovely items. i can't say that i found them all, but i did find this gem for a mere $2.99. yep, you read that right, $2.99.

my favorite part is that it's so old, it still has this...

i'm so excited i found this!

and of course, no thrifting experience is complete without a few pairs of shoes.

 and i love this little plaque. i can't say i agree with what it says, but it gave me a little chuckle.

 it's called "to dotter on her marryin' day" 

it's full of advice from a "modder" to her "dotter" on the day of her wedding. insightful tidbits such as,

be cheery of face

tender and givin'

you make the home.

let him make the livin'

be by his side

through all of his ailin's

pray to the lord

bout him and yer failin's.

i think i will save this for when eva gets married. classic!

a pretty good thrifting weekend, if i do say so myself!
