Thrifty finds....that ends badly

Hi-Di-Ho everyone!!
I'm back!!
It's been a CRAZY couple weeks....but finally things are starting to settle down a little.
I hadn't been thrifting in a while, so I was REALLY excited when I saw these awesome finds!!
Federal Glass green dots bowl - $2.99
Vintage kitchen towel, and vintage fabric - .98 each
Buffalo China platter with blue edge - $1.99
Pyrex Verde Cinderella Bowl Set - about $20.00 total
I nearly squealed when I saw the whole set of Pyrex.....I own A LOT of Pyrex. But strangely enough, I don't have a complete set of anything. So this was the first :)
Then.....as I was taking these pictures, trying to get the right angle, I must have bumped the table.....

I heard them slide

I saw them start to fall

I heard them crash

Then.....
I may had yelled...NOOOOO!!!!!!!
There may have been tears.......
The two smaller bowls, Down, broken, smashed......

So, I'm back to not having any complete sets :(

I'm just kinda a klutz sometimes...

Oh well....don't cry over broken Pyrex. (easier said then done...)

Much Aloha,
Monika :)

Don't Laugh!!

Ok...I've been wanting to do this for a while, but I'll be honest, I've been VERY hesitant (maybe even a little scared).
"What?" You're asking.
An outfit post.
My style mostly consists of jeans, tank tops, and slippers. I mean, I dress up if I'm going out and stuff, for the most part, yeah...jeans, top & slippers. That's me ;)
But for work I do dress up. Suits, dresses, stuff like that.
Today was nice, pretty warm actually, and I didn't want to wear a suit, or a work dress that was lined (it gets to hot and sticky). So I opted for a dress that was a little flowy, and best of all comfy!

I said DON'T LAUGH!! :)
This is my first time doing an outfit post....cut me a little slack! Come on...I'm still a rookie ;)
But I do love this dress...and I love the eyelet detail on the cap sleeves and the bottom hem.

Ok...that's it....I did it, my First Outfit Post ever!
(I'm still a little scared)
If you are laughing....please don't laugh out loud :)
Dress: H&M (old)
Belt: Thrifted
Shoes: R2
Much Aloha,
Monika :)
