blog, impromptu winter thriftathon & tea

[marthaness]

Made a new blog post about h.Naoto GRAMM, a brand that is shockingly under-appreciated :3 Check it out!When Miakoda, Millie, Lauren, Amelia, and I went thrifting at Goodwill and Red White and Blue (the one in West Berlin, NJ that I've never visited) a couple of Saturdays ago, I found a few nice things! I tried to hold back because my closets are

The tea party looks like so much fun! Your cucumber sandwiches look so awesome- makes me want to make some too! :D

[marthaness]

Oh thank you! XD I usually fall back on cucumber sandwiches for guests because they're so easy... my recipe is, anyway >n<;; For the mix, I just combine equal parts of mayonnaise and cream cheese and then season it with salt, dill, chives, and pepper :3

THE FIFTH FLORAL DRESS - SO GORGEOUS!

What kind of places do you thrift from? And are the items usually expensive? Just curious, because, surprisingly enough, the thrift stores in my little Australian city aren't very good with stocking wonderful and quaint finds XD

(I hope you don't mind if I add you on livejournal!)

[marthaness]

Thank you! I love that one too ♥ I don't usually go to any special places... these items all came from Goodwill and Red, White, and Blue, two thift stores that are stocked entirely by donations from the public. Most of the clothes in these places look bland, but once in a while I'll find some nice things if I spend enough time going through the racks. :33 They were all under $5 each!

One time, a friend took me thrifting at Woodstock, NY and there were some wonderful shops. It's still quite a "hippie town" (even after all these years), so more of the stores we visited had items with unique character to them. I'd like to visit again ;o;

(That's fine! I added you back XD)

This dress made me gasp at it’s loveliness. xhttp://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k175/marthe2582/lj%20and%20myspace%20pictures/44d5215d.jpg

Awesome finds!

[marthaness]

Thank you! I love that one too X333

...that mint green dress and the floral and velveteen dress made me HNNNG. Where in the world are these things when I go to goodwill? The two stores here are a treasure trove of things with shoulder pads or spandex.

[marthaness]

XD lolll "shoulder pads and spandex" >m<;; Most of the clothes in my local Goodwill stores pretty much match that description too! haha Every once in a while, though, I'll luck out and see something with some nice character. It's always kind of random to see a genuinely cool dress hanging next to geometric print sack dress in banana yellow @n@;;

...If ninjas steal the mint green morigirl dress, I sent them. Just wanted to be honest!

Beautiful post as always, and I love love love the lavender coordinate.

[marthaness]

hahahaha Thanks for the warning ;o;

And I'm glad you liked the coord!
