silver and gold


there was quite a long stretch of time that i stopped going to the swap meets religiously. well, guess what . . . i'm going to the swap meets religiously, again and i love it! i love waking up early on sunday, strolling through the aisles of awesomeness, drinking coffee (decaf), sifting through old photos . . . all of it. i usually go with my brother, but yesterday i went it alone. probably good for him as i was in a super sifting mood. he's not a sifter (most boys aren't). i found a ton of great stuff. i actually had to leave before i finished walking through the entire swap meet because i ran out of money. i found these silver shoes for $5 and the gold purse for $10. hope you like them, too.

ps. my out of town job is almost over. i work tomorrow (my birthday) and then next monday. hopefully after that i can get back into the swing of things.

we go religiously. i don't know when the transition from stay up til dawn and wake up at dawn happened but it was, in part, for the love of swap meet.

happy bday
