The Happy Little Hoarder.

I just love it when something I've been hoarding suddenly becomes useful.  Take this vintage West Bend bean pot.  I had company over on Memorial Day, and I'm still not quite organized as far as having everything that I need.  I don't have a crock pot, which is no biggie since I rarely use one anyway. But someone showed up with bean dip that had to be served warm and would you look at that?  A bean pot for bean dip.  I was such a proud hoarder.

Is this not the cutest?  It took a while to heat up, but once it did, it was perfect.

After everyone left, I started playing around with things, and placed a battery operated lighted wreath from Ikea inside this big amber vase.  Me likey.  I need to have a party.  I have a centerpiece.  The vase was part of a $6 bag that I got from an estate sale last year.
Gorgeous light show!
 Another hoarded item that I've been meaning to sell, but honestly, the clock doesn't work and I didn't want to lower my price that much.  It's beautiful, with it's original light bulbs.  I decided to put it into the rotation.  

Another fantabulous light show!
 And I got in some thrifting today.  
100% Silk.  For my sister.


This cute cotton shirt/dress has such a cool graphic, I had to get it for my daughter.

1960's orange dress.  De-wrinkled, it will be awesome!

I bought this ombre skirt last year.  "We've" never worn it because we didn't have a top. I paid $1 for this t-shirt. 

White House/Black Market.  

Liz Claiborne midi skirt.

J. Crew.

I found some equally amazing house-y things.  The decor, like the wardrobe, is a continual work in progress.  I don't think I'll ever be done.
