Get ready for blog overload!
For the month of November, I've decided to do a post each day (or at least a few times a week) about things I'm thankful for. So here's a few more to add to the list.
1. Nie Nie--I don't even know this lady, but I've heard Whitney talk about her so I thought I'd check her out. She has a blog about being a mother, wife and lady. I've been reading more of her posts lately, and she has managed to sum up the exact way that I've always wanted to be as a mother. I couldn't have found this blog at a better time because it has given me more of a purpose and I feel a lot more optimistic about life.
and she's LDS, too. :)
2. The D.I.--I'm obsessed with this thrift store. I would say a good 99% of the decorations in my apartment are things that I've found there. Now that's decorating on a college budget. Most of the time, I have to just tell myself to leave before I buy too much. Here are a few of my favorite finds from the D.I.
I love collages of frames and mirrors, especially old ones. (Please excuse the empty frames...I'm still working on it.)
Finding old pitchers there is like finding gold. I have to buy them--I can't resist!
Love, love gold framed pictures.
One of the more unique finds, this is from Germany!
And perhaps one of my favorite reasons to love the D.I.--the never-ending array of plates. I love to buy hangers and put them on my wall.
Now if only I could paint my walls some fabulous colors...
A good dose of Nie and some shopping at Deseret Industries....ahh, perfect.

lol I love DI too so I was so happy to see what you found. I love finding things for my house and stuff. Your house looks great by the way. How cute. We have a lot more in common than I thought. lol I'll have to check out that blog. Hope your happy and healthy. Love your face. =)
LOVE IT!!! I need to go to the DI!!! Someday we will need to for REAL plan a DI/Sweet Peas day! Oh mi gosh, you would be so proud, I haven't cooked meat in like a month! And the best part is, is Dan says that he doesn't even crave it. Although he still eats it (like Arby's = BARF).
Every time I read your blog I have to comment, I love your posts!! I'm looking at the DI stuff, and I think we have similar tastes. I just have a husband who is an art major and likes more modern stuff and has really cool projects that decorate our house. I really like the pitchers though, they rock!! Do you know one of the things I find myself thankful for more often than I would imagine? Finger nails...especially when I worked at La Beau's. My finger nails save me from cutting the tips of my fingers all the time!! There, you helped me count my blessings today.
Candice! I just got back from DI!! My weekness is shoes--I know, gross, but I just can't get over getting them for $3 a pair! I'm sure I would have more weaknesses, but I don't let myself shop for too long. I'm sure I'm already in trouble with this purchase! We should definately get to DI in Logan when I'm down next--for sure! Miss ya! Oh, and I do love your collection of decor! :)
No, weekness is not a misspelling, its how often I go to the DI!! jk, but it works for both huh? :)
