I Hate Titles.

Wow, so i haven't blogged since Friday, and i don't even know where to begin! Not that anything exciting has really happened the past few days.

On Saturday, Ryan and I *attempted* to go to the Giant Flea Market & Craft Fair in Merchantville, NJ, but it started raining on the way down and when we got there, and we didn't even get out of the car to scope things out. I'm all for looking through peoples' junk, but not peoples' wet and possibly muddy junk. Someone even had a computer sitting out in the rain, uncovered!

Later on in the day, i went to several thrift stores and came away with some 80's deadstock jewelry (for myself), a new purse (which everyone seems to think is horrible), a book to rip up and make into new things, a Sha Na Na record (purchased strictly for the album cover), and this little lady:

Thrift Store Find- Sept. 22

I wanted to buy this as well, so i could clean her up and maybe even give her a makeover, but i somehow managed to hold back:

On Sunday, my mom and i got up early to go and buy some storage cabinets for our garage, because i still have a ton of books and art supplies taking up space. I also got a utility cart where i now keep some miscellaneous sewing items, the patterns i've drafted, and sewing projects that are just waiting to be put together. It's one of those red steel utility carts that are used in garages and it's as big as my desk, but i love it. Later on, my cousin had me help her pick out scrapbooking stuff at the craft store. Scrapbooking isn't really my thing, but it's always fun going shopping with someone elses money.

I have a lot more sewing to do before the flea market, namely my larger bags. I worked on these, which was an item i sold a few of on Etsy, and even had custom requests for. I was so in the zone that i actually forgot to sew in the velcro closures! Sooo, i have to go back, rip them open, put in the velcro and sew them back up. Yay! :/

More Asymmetric Piano Key Clutches!

Knocked Up came out on DVD today! I got the 2-Disc Collector's Edition, which came with a deck of playing cards! I don't even play card games, but really, i'm a sucker for anyone in the Apatow crew -especially Seth Rogen- so now i have my very own deck of Knocked Up/Seth Rogen playing cards. I've already watched some of the bonus material, and am trying so hard not to watch it all in one sitting.

My brother needed to go to the bookstore, and unfortunately for me, all of the new issues of the magazines i read came out. I blow lots of $$$ on these and a few others every month, but i'm thinking that maybe i should subscribe because it's way cheaper.
