I have neglected to post some big news: I’m engaged! The past few months have been a whirlwind as Alex and I have been planning our September wedding! Now that I’m [finally] engaged, I can tell you about my 2009 127 finds!
My finds can be summed up into two words: milk glass. As you can see in these photos, I bought quite a few milk glass vases! I plan to fill them all with beautiful yellow flowers and place them on the tables for our reception!
I also found a towel holder thing, some expired film, and two gorgeous Pyrex pitchers! I still have to hang the towel holder in my soon to be apartment, but the film has been used and the pitchers have a lovely home in the kitchen.
My favorite shopping experience for 2010 was when I asked a guy about the price of two vases. He replied with a price I was not willing to pay and my instant response was to say “what?” in a very girly voice… I then told him how the same thing was much cheaper down the street. With a smile he said, “well you should have got it down the street then” I told him I had!!! I asked him if he would make me a deal and threw out some price that was cheaper then what he had said (but not at all cheaper than what I had paid down the street) and he happily agreed with an “oh all right”. By this time several older men were around listening to our conversation. Someone pointed out that if he was “cute and smiley” maybe he could get some better deals! -Erika

All of our new friends! Countdown to 127: 252 days, 13 hour, 57 minutes, 47 seconds
In 2008, I hesitantly followed Laura and Liz into Frankfort Kentucky’s “Farmer’s Kitchen”. I was hungry after looking through yard sales all morning and was nervous as to what this diner would have to offer. I studied the menu, and decided on a ham and cheese sandwich with sweet tea. After devouring my sandwich and gulping down several glasses of tea, I had to admit to my friends… they had picked out a great place to eat! We were not able to stop at the Farmer’s Kitchen this year because of the time of day that we past through Frankfort, but I would recommend it to a hungry 127 shopper! -Erika
127 from the view of my secondhand Polaroid camera…
These two looked like good people to have hanging around the house.
What type of occasion do you think would merit such earrings? I'd like to wear them out at some point in my life! ;)
Plain old luggage on the outside...
...Party on the inside! The couple from which I bought this gem told me that if I were to DJ a sock hop, this is what I would use.
Arrow clip ons and matching bracelet!
The ladies were kind enough to show me just exactly how to wear the arrows.
Looks like I have my ear pierced twice, now doesn't it? Fooled ya.
I already own this on DVD, but we went to a sale inside of a real castle (true story!) and I couldn't resist.
I didn't need this blue Samsonite luggage...
...Until I saw the inside of it!
