but yesterday, carey and i had a fabulous early afternoon meeting that did not last too long. somehow, i gave myself permission to dally all afternoon, because the meeting went well. i think i still have 'vacation head,' to be honest.
anyway. i stopped at my trusty VOA thrift store, and did find some treasure i have been wanting/needing.
vintage plates with states on them. i kind of started being fascinated with these about a year ago. i have a small collection now, and i actually am just using them as saucers on my succulents and house plants. you don't get to see the wonderfulness of the graphic that way, but perhaps someday i will find a spot to hang them on a wall. in the meantime, it's more economical to spend 50 cents or a dollar for a plate, than $2.99 for a plastic thing to put under plants. JUSTIFIED.
i also was really happy to find a whole (almost) box of beautiful stationery. wouldn't it be great to send more handwritten notes to people? i LOVE the box on this one. so much so, i would have bought the empty box :) but the stationery is sweet, too. there are 4 different scriptures and wonderful little drawings, all printed in the fab color combo of hunter green and brown. i hope i don't think they are too pretty to use ;))
happy day, all!

I was wishing for some pretty stationary just this morning. I could say that I'll go thrifting for some, but you know I won't. Maybe, though, I'll remember to pick some up the next time I'm at Target.
i'm actually digging the state plates. who knew?
