Vintage Sale Finds! Pt. 1--Concord

Well, all in all, I think the first Vintage Sale Weekend of the month was a rousing success. I've decided to split this experience into 2 parts. Today, Part 1--Clothing. I only wound up buying the last item(s) on here. But I documented a whole bunch of other clothes that were there. Just for you.
There were gaudy 70's clothes that I made my hands crawl just thinking about touching them.

One leather pair of shorts once belonging to Daisy Duke.

One white dress that was too stained to buy but I can absolutely duplicate the pattern of.

1940's jungle print dresses that I would have bought in a heartbeat if I hadn't already spent way too much money the day before.



And finally, ridiculously adorable gloves that I bought for $2.



And kudos to Jenn, Lauren, and Seth for hustling themselves out there to join me. A vintage sale without friends is nothing at all.

Bibliophile on the Brink of Bibliomania

Bought: 8 Reader's Digest books
Price: 50 cents a piece, equaling $4
Place: Concord Library

I have a real problem.
I can't control myself when it comes to buying books. Especially ones for decorative purposes, since there's no long-term commitment there.
My favorite part of Beauty and the Beast is when Belle gets full reign of the library and the curtains fly open revealing millions of books on perfectly constructed swirly staircases and bookshelves.

I am...a bibliophile.


I can't help it! They're just so unique! And they smell good! And they're CHEAP! It's really a disease...


Oh and I got this one because it has Jaws 2. I'm going to cut out the pictures of men scuba diving for the shark to use in some way in my room.


Here's an example of how I like to use my books (I'm thinking about shelves for this next batch?):
