pining for vintage

I have to figure out how to get into a better blogging habit! I've spent most of my free time watching 30Rock and doing absolutely nothing productive in the slightest.  I'm "attempting" to study for a test coming up. And by attempting I simply mean my books are out and open, I'm just not doing anything about it.

I've had a lot of thrifting luck lately. I'll post some pictures soon! I'm excited to have accumulated a lot of thrifted things thus far! It would be simply wonderful to furnish and decorate our whole apartment with thrifted finds.  It's a complely tangible endeavor, too!

There are a few things I'm drooling over at Etsy.  Completely out of my price rage, unfortunately.  Then again anything over $20 seems ot be out of my price range.  Am I cheap? Probably.

1. These vintage nesting tables

2. These retro stacking mugs

3. This mid-century leather lounge chair w/ ottoman

Admittingly, it pains me a little everytime I look at my favorites and somethings sold. I DO like the idea that I COULD by it. C'mon folks! This is why I have a soft spot for Ikea. CHEAP, hello.  Poorly made, perhaps.  But they're preachin' to the cheap choir.
