things i want tuesday :: kinies

i never thought i'd say this but i think i may have found a cool fanny pack! how cute are these ruffle versions of the old 80's pack? how adorable?



i think this would be a perfect option for my thrifting ventures....garage sales, flea markets, etc. where sometimes space is tight and you definitely want your hands free.



and the option to throw it over your shoulder if you want is just an added bonus!

thrifted :: mid-century modern chair

got this fabulous mid-century modern chair at an estate sale this past weekend. it was at an amazingly cute little mid-century home (which was also for sale) and packed to the brim with authentic mid-century pieces. i heard it through the grapevine that the owner actually owned a furniture store downtown back in the day so every piece of furniture in their house was pristine and very well made. we went on saturday when everything was full price. there was a sofa and 2 side chairs (none of them part of a set, but all matching style). we wanted all of them but decided to take a chance and come back first thing in the morning when everything was 1/2 price. BIG MISTAKE! the couch and chair that i had fallen in love with were both sold. however, this chair, the one that the hubby liked, was still there. so, we picked it up for $47.50 ($95 the day before). it's in near-perfect condition. it's only missing a couple of the tufting buttons which can easily be replaced. it also has a little surprise of being a recliner! a little foot rest kicks out from underneath. the foot rest is quite tiny for the hubby, but would be good for me. right now it's calling our sunroom home. we hope that when we find a sofa and another side chair it will be part of our living room set.

thrifted :: huge dr. style bag

check out this bag! holy hannah, this bag is HUGE! i found it at a local garage sale a couple weeks ago. it had a price tag of $5 on it. i was hemming and hawing over whether to buy it. i loved it, but at the same time, i don't really have a need for it. i have tons of bags that i don't even use already. why did i need another one? the owner saw me debating and said i could take it home for $2.50! well, at that price, who can argue? i gladly tucked it under my arm and brought her home with me. now i just need to find a use!

in case you're wondering just how big this thing is, it's about 2 feet wide by a foot and a half tall. the base is at least 8" wide. this thing could fit a bus inside!
