Oh, For the Love of Puppies

I've always been a dog person, but lately I've been extremely puppy-obsessed! (It has a lot to do with my parent's new puppy Jake, who is soooo adorable!)

So obviously when I saw this spaniel puppy candle at Good Samaritan for 50 cents, it had to be mine :) It came home with me and landed right on my bedside table:

Puppy Candle, Good Samaritan ($0.50)

This candle very much resembles my first childhood dog, non-aptly named 'Lucky'. Poor thing had cateracs and seizures, but he was a sweet dog.

Although I know most of the blogosphere seems to be cat-obsessed, I'm a bit scared of them myself. But give me a nice little puppy dog, and I am in heaven :) Have a great Wednesday!

Always,
Amanda

Just Another Thrifting Thursday...

Today was one of those days that had me itching to go thrifting. And since my local Goodwill is the closest thrift store to me, I jetted there after work. I wasn't too surprised to find a bunch of teenage boys searching through the women's clothing for Halloween costumes. Quite the sight!

Anyway. I found some pretty cool stuff, for less than $10 total:

Crazy Monkey Candle ($2); Vintage Duckie Nite Lite ($2); Cupcake Candle ($1); Heavy-Duty Boots ($4)

Even the hubby likes the crazy monkey candle! He got home from work, and the first thing he said was, "Cool! I like this! But we can't burn it...it'll have to sit on our mantle in our new place!"

Totally agree.

Have a great night-more thriftiness tomorrow!

Always,

Amanda

Bubbles!

You know those big, colorful, tasteless-after-two-minutes balls of gum?

Yeah, not a fan.

BUT... Oh, the smell of fresh bubble gum. Love it. And tonight, after a super-long day, I am lighting my new (Goodwill, $3) Bubble Gum candle and relaxing.

'Cause what could be better than bubble gum that never loses it's bubble gum-ness?

You cannot deny the awesomeness of this :)

Have a good night! Can't wait for some killer thrifting tomorrow!
