Oooooh the shame!

I hate to admit it but last week, I became one of "those" people.  Yep, that's right, I was having a full blown conversation on my cell phone in the middle of the local Goodwill store.  In my defense, I was gabbing with my best friend, who I speak with far too infrequently.  And, frankly, she has some pretty exciting things going on in her life right now!

So, I am being a generally bad person...yack, yack, yack...scanning the aisles...yack, yack, yack...I spy a cute little pair of 50's Asian figurines....yack, yack, yack...I notice the boy's hat is broken...yack, yack, yack...I discuss with my friend that even though the boy is broken, I will buy them anyway...yack,yack yack...I am juggling my purchases, my purse and, of course, my cell phone...yack, yack, yack...I round the corner...yack, yack, yack...and....

Craptastic!  Great, now there are employees responding to the sound of breaking porcelain.

  I try to discretely end my phone conversation.  Eeeek, it's the perfect girl that I dropped!  

Oh the horror! 

I hide my phone and try to pick up the pieces which have scattered under the rack with all of the comforters and bed linens.  The guilt is overwhelming.  I insist on buying the figures anyway.  However, when I take the pieces to the register the cashier refuses to charge me for the broken figure.  Did I mention the guilt?

Anyway, here they are all glued up.  I still need to figure out a creative solution to tidy up the boys hat.  They are still lovely, in a poorly lit corner sort of way.

As for me, I have learned my lesson.  I promise never to talk on the phone and thrift again!

Setting the Bar

I found this midcentury bar on craigslist several years ago. I fell in love with the simple lines and absolutely adore the design on the mirror!

We have been putting the bar to good use as of late, mixing up martini's and a fantastic duo of Vernor's Ginger Ale and Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum. Cheers!
