Head on over!

Come visit me over at ALittleJunkinmyTrunk.blogspot.com that is where I'm blogging now. I will still talk about my recovery from my closed head injury, and the craziness that it causes.....but now that I have a J-O-B blogging for Goodwill, I think 3 blogs is causing the crazies....

Case in point. I think that since my birthday is in October, January really is October. For example....you turn another year older on your birthday right? right....okay so that is the beginning of a new year, so that would mean that for me January is really October. Do you see the problem? Good. Know how to fix the problem? Neither does anyone else.
I personally think that everyone should turn one year older on January 1 and then it would all be cleared up for me!
Done.

So what month is it again?

Head on over!

Fashionable Friday

Kris at A Thrifty LA Life is doing a link up called Fabulously Thrift and Fashionable Friday. So here is my favorite Goodwill Fashion File of last year.

My friend Ellen is wearing Goodwill from Head to Toe! (I know this because I was her personal shopper!) I love it that my friends indulge my obsession with the G-Dub! The dress, faux fur collar, and shoes...dang it not in the picture....ALL from G-Dub.
Ciggie...NOT REAL....The dress I am wearing cost a whopping $2.50 on half off day. (I put the tag in again for the photo op....because I'm obsessed that's why.



I added the sash and brooches to dress it up!

Vintage Camel Coat with Fur Collar.....Goodwill in Lafayette, CO. Score!!!
Purple tag= half off.....I'm not kidding. $6.50. I am the Goodwill Whisperer.

Go to A Thrifty LA Life and check out the other Goodwill Fans out there!

Winter Decor

Hanukkah came sooo early this year that it was over in a blink.

It finally seems like winter here in Denver so I thought I would decorate a little snowy.....(I love the snow)

I love the menorah my son made in summer camp. It is made of twigs and a rock. It really is beautiful.
New Year.....new decorations....I have a time thing going on......(I can safely tell time now so things are a BIG improvement over last year at this time)
Well except for that clock on the left there.....at least the hands are in the right position! I must have been standing on my head when I set it. My mom bought the hourglass for me....she lugged it all the way to Maui. I love it!! Thanks mom!!

New Year's Eve Party

We hosted a family-style New Year's Eve Party at my house on Friday night. It was a last minute switch of venue from a friend's house to mine. (long story...son..allergies...hives...cat...) Earlier in the day I found this blog called Focal Point and it was talking about a great family New Year's Eve Party that her parents had in their New Jersey basement in the 70's. I loved the old photos and how she described her fond memories. It made me think about how my grandmother used to throw these lavish family parties and I wanted to make our small family and friend gathering just a little above casual with some memory-making flair.

So what did I do first? Run to the G-Dub of course for some vintage champagne glasses. They only hold a few ounces which is perfect for Sparkling Cider or a few sips of the bubbly. This was a family/kid party remember?

I found nine and threw them into a little bleach water and then into the dishwasher. These aren't family heirlooms so If something gets a little scratched up in the dishwasher I don't really care too much.

I pulled out my white china, vintage ice buckets (G-Dub) and fancy party hats (yes, G-Dub in the package still) YES I bought the party blowers new....I'm not that crazy!

It was a fun night with delicious food (thanks Surai!) games, and a little Dick Clark to count down the new year. It was really fun to be with friends and family safe at home. It was fun for both kids and adults!!

I hope your New Year's Eve was safe and fun! Here's to 2011!

Here's where I'm linked up!
