Today I saved my family $400+ dollars by delving into the squalor known as “The Family Van” and scrubbing it clean inside and out. I may have employed child labour. Last time it was this clean was 2 years ago when my son found a drowned mouse in his leftover frapuccino cup, prompting an all-day *spa* trip for the van to Bubbles. Good times. So, today’s savings plus my filled 30% off stamp card that expires tomorrow meant a quick trip to VV Boutique! I had a feeling that the housewares department would be my goldmine today and sure enough, I SCORED! I also scored some other great items and pondered whether I should blog them throughout the summer or share them now… Well, I was never very good at waiting patiently, so here are my Friday night finds!
Barbie play house, fully functional in great condition and folds up like a suitcase for $7!!!! It has an elevator, a balcony, a bed, and the rest I’ll have to wait to discover with my girl! I cannot wait for her to wake up! I spent hours as a child constructing Barbie houses with record covers (please don’t tell me you don’t know what that is) and would have looooooovvveeed this!
After that amazing find, I decided to focus on one section. I’m looking for distressed denim, or denim that I could DIY distress. Things were looking good – I had not one but TWO pairs of Seven for all Mankind denim, Jacob, Parasuco, Tristan and even a pair of True Religion:
Though distressed denim continues to evade me, I did find two pairs of denim to fill legit holes in my wardrobe:
I *may* have swooped past the maxi dresses too. Since I’m giving one of my three away, I thought I might try and replace it. I found this striped awesomeness…
