Thankfully Thrifted Thursday-Bar Cart

So for the past couple of weeks I've been talking about what I'm thankful for each week.  This week I would like to extend this post, so there will be two features!

First I'll show you one of my favorite, recently thrifted pieces and then I'll give a brief list of things that I am thankful for this week.

Sound fun?  That's what I thought!  Can I just say that I'm always thankful for thrift stores?  They are for sure my favorite!  I hardly ever go to "real" stores anymore :)  It's so great!

I found this bar cart (which I am SO unhealthily in love with) at an ARC here in Denver.  It wasn't a planned visit to the store, my friend and I had some time to kill at when my eyes caught this amazing piece I knew I had to buy it!  And then I saw the price tag of only $25 and it was practically in my car!

It fits so perfectly on this wall in my apartment that's right by the door, so it occasionally doubles as a key drop which is perfect!

It has a functional burner (we're not sure what exactly we're going to use it for, Hot Toddies? Gluewein? we'll figure it out I'm sure).  I think it's totally awesomely random!

The bottom is perfect for for alcohols, glasses, etc.  The top is great for various other accessories.  We have some tins that have matches, cards, tea, etc in them.

Overall this is one of the best thrift finds ever!  If you find one while you're out and about you should most definitely pick it up!  You will not regret it!.

So now you're wondering what I'm thankful for, yeah (that is of course besides my bar cart :)).  Here's this week's list.

I am thankful for the ability to be at camp taking care of amazing kids.

I am thankful for a community that supports me in my efforts to "change the world" (and of course I support them as well).

I am thankful for the summer, for the fun times that have come out of it.

I am thankful for the roof over my head.

I am thankful for the joy in my life.



Don't forget to link up what you're thankful for on A Complete Waste of Makeup!

Whimsical Wednesday-Week 5

So I have the keys to my new apartment!  I'm super excited, it's so beautiful and lovely (I'll share pictures once there is stuff in there and it's organized a bit :)).

Moving, of course, means that there needs to be a housewarming party!  My roommate and I have already chatted (briefly, but long enough) about making that party mustache themed because, well, mustaches are AWESOME!

I'm super excited, hopefully we'll have a party in a few weeks and I can share some of pictures with you!

So this week I collected a few mustache ideas for the party, so be prepared what you are about to experience is MUSTACHE MADNESS!



Attaching a mustache to a straw, how genius!  (No link, I think someone just took a picture of a magazine page...)



I believe that is a mustache ring which is amazing, AND the little tiny mustache on her finger nail is so adorbs I love it! (Don't think I have the talent to accomplish that however...)



I love this idea!  Attaching a mustache to hang from some sunglass, perfect for a photo booth situation.



These finger tattoos (maybe stickers?) from Urban Outfiters are amazing.  It's the perfect way to give everyone a mustache for the night :)



Cookies!  So here's the deal, I'm horrid at making sugar cookies and there is no way mine would ever look like this, but they certainly are amazing!



This little mustache necklace is perfect :)  So cute and classy!



A great way to have some fun, put a mustache on a cup.  This one is from Urban Outfitters, but I'm sure I can do it myself :)



And last but not least, no party of mine would be complete without cupcakes, so why not go for the mustache cupcakes! (The little monocle is too cute!)

This is making me so excited!

Excuse me...I have to go start planning my party :)

Love,

Keely
