I just love your blog! I found it by chance a few days ago and it's awesome! My husband was also in "awe" of my great thrift store and yard sale finds too. Not really...but who cares? Except when two weeks ago I came home from a yard sale with a pair of Rock and Republic jeans for $1.00!

hilarious. I totally wish I could use the economy as an excuse for antique/thrift shopping. My husband so does not understand my quests either. I'm always so excited about my finds -- my husband, not so much. I guess that's why we have blogs, right?

you are an excellent writer and crafter! I've been inspired by so many things on your blog...and now i don't feel so bad because my husband is a nut, too.

Ha ha. I think this same conversation take place in my house frequently...although, I am afraid my personal obsession is Target deals...

I understand the thrill of the thrift store. We had a yard sale this weekend and then we took everything left up to Goodwill. Once we unloaded all our stuff at the back of the store I asked my husband if I could go inside and shop. He just looked at me, but I was serious!

And, yes, we have a strange family too! That's the best kind! :)

Haha that cracked me up. I live in NZ and funnily have married the same man as you!!! We even managed to get the same kids! Spooky stuff! :0/

2010-02-21T17:09:18.224-06:00

It appears all of us who thrift shop must have married the same guy! But not in a "Big Love" way!!

Vanessa, you are such a good writer - soooo funny!

Don't worry - my family is weird too. They too raise their eyes to thank heaven when I show them the latest Ann Taylor sweater that I nabbed for $10 (or less) at one of our local shops.

2010-02-21T15:39:30.594-06:00

LOLOL! I just discovered your blog and already love it. Your sense of humor is wonderful - and that photo of Katie and her dog is priceless.

The bike/snow thing totally sounds like something my hunky farmguy would do (which is one of the reasons I'm constantly grateful that we don't have any neighbors). The good thing is that so many of my vintage and thrifted treasures are

2010-02-21T14:45:24.915-06:00

This post made my day! And I love that your husband thought that riding a bike would get rid of the snow faster than a shovel. Sounds like something my husband would do!

2010-02-21T11:10:50.233-06:00

V have I told you lately how rad I think you are? What do I have to do to convince you to move back to CA so we can eat burritos and lounge on the beach?
Maybe if you tell the hubs that he can ride the bike in circles on the beach instead of a ft of snow, it'll work. Try it and let me know.

You are not alone... I have a crazy family too! Can't wait for the tutorials!

2010-02-21T09:13:44.433-06:00

I'm losing my hearing so those grumbles over my thrift shopping DO sound like a lament of love :)
it's great!
I often just yell as he walks away "I knew you'd love it honey!"

2010-02-21T09:13:38.429-06:00

It was an innocent little post about thrifting and how her hubby thinks she is so fabulous to save him money....and then .....you cracked me up laughing again. LOL V, you never disappoint with a family story. Always keeping it real. LOL, and the last line about keeping the crazies in line made me laugh so hard. Only because I think I can identify with ya.
Looking forward to the upcoming

Oh I love to thrift store hunt! So many treasures just waiting to be discovered!
Love your family stories! :o) Last night Nathan was trying to hypnotize me. After we finished our fit of laughter, I became known as the official guinie (sp?) pig! :o) Too fun!
I can't wait to see your tutorials. :o)

Glad to know I'm not the only one that lives with a bunch of crazies and practices the art of "don't ask don't tell decorating." : ) The converstations you have with your hubby sound very familiar to those I've had with mine. Ha, ha, lol! Once again, I've gotta say...I LOVE your blog! : )

2010-02-20T23:14:00.936-06:00

You make me laugh!!

I also practice "don't ask don't tell decorating." It usually takes my husband a few months to notice anything different in our house...we both like it that way.

Ok, I just have to comment on this. Your daughter and your dog...priceless. And the best part? My name is Katie Buck. Lol, maybe you won't find it as funny as me, but I got a kick out of it!
