I haven’t been thrifting in a while! This is what I found today:

A book of Victorian Fairy Tales, A vintage leather purse, old costume jewelry clip on earrings, and a sail boat made out of a bull’s horn!
Maybe one day I’ll be able to reach my goal for my home decorating inspiration. It would look something like this:

apartment therapy

I’m dreaming of having a “Day of the Dead” themed parlour, an absinthe and poison themed bar, Victorian themed bedrooms, and a 1920′s themed kitchen with cherry prints & ex-voto milagros everywhere. I may be getting ahead of myself. Matt & I may be moving in a year still, but it’s still fun to dream. ♥

She can’t hide; no place to hide.

I’m recovering from my surgery. Hopefully if all goes well the results will be successful. I am pretty nervous about the outcome, but grateful to Matt for staying by me. Truth be told, I’ve been feeling a little down in the dumps lately but hopefully things will change for the better soon. I just think I need to get out and be a little more active, although it is a little hard for me to stay motivated.

You see better when you’re scared.
Science World. We can explain.

I saw this Science World advertisement near the Sky Train the other day. I think it’s a rather interesting concept, don’t you?

Advertising Agency: Rethink Communications, Vancouver, Canada
Creative Directors: Chris Staples, Ian Grais
Art Director: Chad Kabigting
Copywriter: Rob Tarry

Gosh, I haven’t been to Science World since I’ve moved here and now I want to watch “Friday the 13th” again. Go me.

I’m becoming more & more addicted to shopping at Etsy.
Just what is Etsy? Etsy is a social commerce website focused on handmade or vintage items as well as art and craft supplies. According to the website, their vision is to build a new economy and present a better choice: Buy, Sell, and Live Handmade.

I found these for my mother’s birthday. Shipping was only $7.00 too

Salt & pepper shakers for my Mom’s strawberry kitchen found here.

I might even open up a little shop there one day.
Anyway, I just thought I would share this with you all

Oh, you internet drama

I’ve spoken to people that have had online problems recently. I just don’t understand why someone/anyone would put so much energy into being hateful. It seems to me that the world is already a pretty nasty place. Why seek people out just for the point of being miserable? Has it ever dawned on these people that they themselves are probably more consumed with the whole scenario than the people they think they are bothering? Point, click, delete! I think that time wasted in this false world could be better spent. The internet may be a safe haven for you to be a faceless menace, I agree! but when the computer is turned off who is burdened?

Why these things happen, I don’t know. I can’t imagine taking time away from the things I find happiness in, just so I can “get back” at someone. Peace be with you

The only type of drama that I like is Korean.

It’s funny how you picture someone that you chat with online. I sometimes wonder how other people perceive me to look like. As I chat with people longer and read more details of their daily lives, my vision of them and their space seems to become more vivid. I wonder if I’m painting a true picture, I’m just wondering because I see some people post pictures of what appears to be themselves. Others post pictures of movie stars, musical artists, or anime characters. My online friends have really interesting icons that seem to be a little deeper than most out there. Just an observation. anywho, on with my day.
