freebies and not-so-freebies!

so in the last week or so, i have continued accumulating more crap that i do not need...
b u t . . .
it is all totally awesome so check this out! here are some treats from the hoarding house:

i did need more tracing paper, and i am a total sucker for packaging...


and this cool-tool for marking patterns without destroying them with a tracing wheel!


a button spacer (awesome!) and button holder


seriously- its like they invented this for carpal tunnel. if you have it, you need this tool!


and the best. apron. ever.

and then i went estate/garage sale-ing and to the flea market with tyler and i snagged up these treats and more:

$10 for all these hats!


tons of new brooches and pins and sweater clips... even though it is currently 100 degrees outside with a heat index of 4,000, they were all maybe $15 total!

and i also got 4 skirts from the 1940s, an evening gown from the 1930s, a party dress from the 1950s, a robe from the 1940s, a fonzi puzzle, some necklaces and a chef hat!
now, here is the BEST FREEBIE EVER IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE:

i KNOW! its friggin' awesome!!!!!

the woman who i am cleaning the hoarding house for *gave* this to me this weekend! pretty much made. my. life.

just wanted to brag....

what the hell did i do to deserve this?

white russians are maybe my most favorite drink and this shit happens every damn time i drink one! fuck you dairy allergies, fuck you.

on a side note, this weekend it rained a whole bunch and due the the low water crossing on my road, my two day weekend was magically transformed into a three day weekend! it only flooded one day, just enough to get some sewing done at the house with time for shenanigans the rest of the weekend. Anywho, the following awesome stuff happened:
we made and ate DINO BROWNIES:

my brother and his amazing girlfriend got engaged!

(true story- he totally is not retarded... or better yet- is not totally retarded)

tyler and i went to the flea market and i got a bunch of new etsy treasures:(this one is my favorite)

plus i took the photos for about a bazillion other etsy items, so's you might wanna check that out sometime soon...
tyler and i went to wimberley and hungout with his grand-dad and dad-dad, as well as a quick stop for the worlds best bloody mary's in san marcos! ill probably post up the photos of my dress i made and the dress i didnt make tomorrow... unless i forget

which is likely.
