friends and thrift stores

saturday our friends from OK
came to visit, as they were
on their way back from camping/hiking
Chris and Emily


it looks like a family portrait,
but this was taken on our porch
nighttime
with a good camera
chris, emily, schnooze, liz, cameron

we went to the Redrocks Amphitheater
and i was singing

then turned around as chris was taking this pic :(

*did you know almost every band in the WORLD has played there?

greatful dead, bjork, beatles, etta james....

we were trying to pretend this backdrop was real :)

wow look how big that rock is?!?!?!?

grilling chicken with this amazing

marinade the crowders got us!

they left sunday night

then wednesday i went to the thrift store with a list.

chair for $3.99, check.
a little on the old side, but for 4 bucks you can't beat it
hey maybe i will even recover it later!

$20 amazing drop leave table, check.
this table is in AMAZING shape, and

the legs are so cool.

it needs some sanding and oil

but other than that holla!

i was just wanting any old table for a craft table

(mainly so i can keep my sewing machine set up all the time)

and i found this.

i think i could re-sell it on craigslist for like a

$30 profit, at least!

dusty, but cool

$10 brand new filing cabinet, check.

for the pHd nerd of the family.

$7 rocket dogs, check.

okay, they weren't really on the list, but HELLO!

*this post is dedicated to my awesome cousin Lane that pointed me in the direction of SAVERS, a SUPER thrift store. PS lane: there are like 3 right around where i live, so i didn't go to the one in boulder, but the one in littleton was awesome just the same! anyway, i didn't even venture into the clothes section, but i know for a fact they have awesome stuff. i looked at button ups for cameron, and there were barely worn jcrew, gap, banana, and polo shirts for like $8.

i think they also wash the stuff before they hang it up.

anyways, off to work for 3 days in a row starting at 3am tomorow. boo.
