happy vday!

Hope you all had a lovely Valentine's Day! This V day we decided to have a fancy "dinner in" with my roommate and her beau! Since we don't have a kitchen table, we had to make due with our coffee table - which I tried to spruce up with a tablecloth (aka a bed sheet), pretty cloth napkins I found at Value Village (where else, duh?!) and a simple centerpiece of candles and flowers. I thought it turned out pretty cute! And will all the candles lit, it was pretty romantic :)

 

For dinner we had steaks, horseradish mashed potatoes, and asparagus. and sparkling wine. and I made cupcakes for dessert!

for the love of thrift!

I have this little obsession called Value Village, which I had never heard of until I moved to Charlotte. Its basically a department store sized Goodwill. But better. Wayyy better. I have a serious love affair for all things old, vintage, & antique. And I LOVE a good deal. 

Since I go there so often (and to the dismay of my roommate who says we already have enough junk in our apt, always come home with something brilliant) I decided I would start posting my finds! 

this vintage floral plate, print, clock & lantern cost less than $10 total

I also recently bought a set of  aqua sure seal clamp jars for only $9:

They may seem like junk, but one person's trash is another person's treasure, right?

heart,
