junk in the trunk

Another notable obsession of mine is the hoarding of awesome stickers.  I have been a sticker lover since birth then with the invention of Lisa Frank and sticker books it was only intensified. Doesn’t matter the shape/size/color if it resembles a sticker it’s going in my collection.  I always knew it would take something really awesome to come along that would force me to let go of my collection, and that something is a trunk I found back in October. 
While heading to do some volunteer work cleaning the Cahaba River Dusty, Andrea, and I got extremely lost and wound up in the middle of the Talladega Forest.  After wasting hours and missing the clean up we decided to go garage sale searching since it was a Saturday and found a couple that just didn’t produce anything good.  Before calling it a day we stopped by the Moundville Flea Market and I came across the trunk (below) filled with baby clothes that didn’t appear to be for sale. After asking the kind lady she informed me it was $15.00 and from then on it belonged to me.  All it needed was a little TLC and a slight face lift. . .

//vest:Vintage, dress: Patagonia, necklace: Bonnaroo//

I was kinda sad sticking them to the trunk but quickly got over it when the project was finished because it looked so cool. 

I would love to explain each and every sticker but I had my first ‘work’ day (tutorials galore!) and want to r.e.l.a.x. which means MOVIE TIME!

thank you squared

Ana b. a lovely chick from New Zealand with the great blog//On Dressing Up//gave me my very first blog award//Thanks!

I was tagged by Eyeliah over at Style Symmetry//Show Off Your Blog Workspace Tag//This was fun, thanks Lady! 

Notice the junk circle I have formed around where I sit//hehe//one of the only vents on this floor is right by the arm (where my computer is) so I try to keep warm. The cellar staying a constant freezing temperature doesn’t help, but I do love the storage. Something I’d like to mention is that I collect vintage records//one of the many things I collect//I have framed some of my favorite records with the best cover art and the one pictured in second room photo is a Stevie Nicks album//she’s also great with Fleetwood Mac. again, thanks for the tag!
I have chosen the following three ladies because I completely adore their style & can only imagine where they create such lovely blogs//have fun with this ladies!

I spy a pattern

My latest thrift finds//
//Angel’s Antiques, America’s Thrift Store, One Night Only Artique//
//Before I knew it I had bought many many patterns//I just can’t deny my love for prints//The tassel you see is one of four corners of the coolest table cloth I have ever laid my deal seeking eyes on//$3.00 and its going to be with me for a long time! The other pictured purchases will be debuted when the perfect Spring day comes along..

Definition of Comfy

//comfortable:providing or experiencing physical well-being or relief ((‘comfy’ is informal)): “comfortable clothes”//

the shape of this room is great, not to mention the fire place. heavenly. 

I don’t think these Free People trousers have made it to the blog yet but I wear them often, they are the comfiest article of clothing I own.  They inseam has got to be 40+ (may be exaggerating..) because they drag on the ground even on me! 
The rest of my comfy comfy outfit consists of a Tilt coat purchased around 7 years ago from Pacific Sun//when I put that in writing it makes me feel like a pack rat// but I love what I love & keep what I love. What’s the longest you’ve held on to a piece of clothing??-oh and by the way I have older//but I would have to think about that for a while..

//that chair!//

pretty sure this one left a trail of glitter all the way to Kel 
consists of//vintage children’s book, Free People mag, sticker, glitter, glue, Mod Podge & postcard.

I love this little Lego man who decided to be a rebel and tag a heart

I am spending a couple of days in Auburn hanging with DP & his brother. Last night we went to a delicious pizza parlor in town and then to see My Bloody Valentine 3D but it was sold out so next up was Taken-which was pretty good- just not 3D. Hope all you lovely lovely readers have a splendid Valentines Day and don’t be ashamed to gobble down all the chocolate you please!
