drive by picture post.
today's haul:

om nom nom nom.
my new (to me) dresser:

a thrift store find, SUPER clean, and a SUPER bargain! \o/
my dining table recently stained dark brown (thanks, dad)!

from the same thrift store several months ago. still working on reupholstering the chairs.
i generally don't take pictures of people in costume at sdcc. i mean, there are some GREAT ones, but i just can't be bothered to keep getting my camera out and asking people to stop and pose. and it's always so damn crowded that just maneuvering my way around and taking in the sights is difficult enough, i just can't handle one more thing, lol.
but this guy. i freaked out and chased after him to get a photo.

tobias "i just blue myself" funke from arrested development. complete with never-nude denim shorts! :D!
and one day (maybe this week!) i'll get the rest of my sdcc photos up, but for now, here's bonus norman reedus for my girl
slightlytricky (and all who can appreciate that smile and the delicious, delicious hand porn he so generously provides). ♥

Date: 2011-08-25 04:02 am (UTC)it takes a lot of patience to keep checking back (there is a LOT of crap out there, ye gods), but sometimes the timing is just right and you get lucky!

(no subject)
Date: 2011-08-25 03:43 pm (UTC)the fabric is a light linen color? with a graphic velvet turquoise pattern on it. that... doesn't sound very attractive, but i promise it's fun! :p

Date: 2011-08-25 07:32 pm (UTC)And omg, how much do you love a good thrift store find??? I furnished several apartments in Florida with about 90% thrift store furniture. OMG I still miss that huge thrift store sometimes. It was right across the highway from the tiny, dark, musty-dusty used bookstore. <33333333333

Date: 2011-08-25 07:50 pm (UTC)right? i'm basically working with an ikea budget, but trying to keep the ikea purchases to a minimum. it takes persistence and patience, but so far so good.

Date: 2011-08-26 01:31 pm (UTC)And I love Ikea, but I'm with you--I like mixing up old and new. And half the fun (and FRUSTRATION) of thrifting is having to sift through lots of crap to get to the good stuff. At least sometimes you get to dig through FUN crap. :)
