Thrifting in Cbus!

Yesterday was a pretty amazing day.

I set off early in the morning to go thrift store shopping in Columbus with some of my friends.

We always have a ton of fun when we go up there, so I was pretty stoked about it all week.

I definitely wasn't disappointed!

We had a blast!

First, we went to the Ohio Thrift in Grove City and found tons of stuff. I usually get things to sell on eBay, but I also found some cute clothes for myself which is always a big plus!

We also found this one of a kind shirt:

Yes. Those are a TON of different buttons, all around the neckline.

We loved it! haha.

We always try to find the oddest things at the thrift store. It's pretty fun!

We also found this amazing sweater.

:)

Even though I thought the rhinestone kitty was super cute, having that on a green turtleneck, just crosses a line.

:)

After hitting the Ohio Thrift stores, we decided it was time for lunch, so we stopped at Applebee's for some of their amazing eats.

I split a spinach & artichoke dip with my friend, and I had a Chicken Penne.

SO good!

:D

After our stop at Applebee's we headed to Easton so we could check out the stores, and I could use my Victoria's Secret gift card.

:)

We also made a quick stop at Trader Joe's. I've never been there before, but I can say, it is AMAZING. We found quite a few great bargains, including a jug of spiced cranberry cider for just 99 cents.

Yumm!

We also got to sample some of their amazing dark french roast coffee. It was amazing, so smooth and strong, but not bitter.

After Trader Joes we officially headed into Easton and made a b line for Anthropologie.

If you've never been there, you MUST.

They have some pretty amazing stuff. 

I found these cute little mugs monogrammed with my initial! 

I also loved the sweet rhino and zebra heads!

We also smelled this collection of perfumes in there that was TO DIE FOR. They were, no joke, amazing.

Sara sprayed on like 5 different ones. haha

They were all from the Lollia collection.

Easton is SO beautiful in the winter. They have a ton of Christmas lights up, and at night its just stunning. I wish you all could see it, but since I can't take you all to Easton, I'm gonna end this post with a few pics of the place.

:)

I had a wonderful time! I can't wait to plan our next trip up!.

:D

*I apologize for the quality of the pics. All I had with my was my iTouch.

Christmas

Yup, Christmas was good

:)

We really had alot of fun getting together with family, and of course presents. haha.

Gosh I really dont know what to write about you guys. I really dont want to say like everything that I got because well, i just dont really like doing that too much. Ya know?

I do plan to hit up the After Christmas sales on monday. Plus Nathan and my Dad have some clothes to take back. Which, makes me really sad because I thought we did really good with clothes this year. Well, we didnt do that bad just some of the shirts and stuff are a little tight ya know, but at least they liked them. Well, except Nathan, he was all picky beacuse the argyle sweater we got him wasnt V-neck. What a diva. haha

But anyway yearh, I plan to hit up the sales with Sara while my Dad and Nathan are standing in long lines at JCP's

:)

We also had the mortgage burning service today at church, which was pretty sweet. We paid off the church mortgage in a year, which is pretty impressive. Although, I will have to say that the actual mortgage burning thismorning was a little anticlimactic. haha.

What are you gonna do?

The thing is paid off and thats whats important! haha

Anyway, hope you all have a nice rest of break and on into the new year!!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!

I hope its amazing!
