Thank you for the reading suggestions! If you have anything else you’d like to share, please do!
Yesterday was another “thrifting Saturday,” and I just want to share this little bit of awesomeness with you.
Since it’s not the clearest photo, here are a couple close-ups.
I paid $3.98 for these pink carnations at the Quality Thrift Store. And I almost didn’t go yesterday. I went to the Salvation Army first, where I found a few things I’ll share later. Then I ran a few errands, and on my way home–at the last moment–I decided to stop in at the good old tried and true QTS. Whew! I’m glad I didn’t miss this one. (By the way, if I seem addicted to the thrift store, just remember that I won’t be getting out much after Brother arrives. So I’m tankin’ up while I can!)
Late yesterday evening, Evan screened his short film, The Box, here at our house. He invited all the cast and crew, and it was really neat for everyone to see themselves all polished up and edited together. I’m so proud of him. If you saw the raw footage of the film, you’d never suspect that it could transform into a professional-looking production. Filmmaking astounds me.

What a post, Kristena! From sweet, happy, pink carnations to The Box! :P
I remember Evan telling us about the idea for his film on the CF forum, so it’s nice to see his completed project. The fear genre is not typically my cup of tea but I always thoroughly enjoy seeing his work. *Spoiler ahead!* I was hoping the guy would leave the job in the dust. ;) Nice work, Evan & Co.
Okay, now for those carnations… Kristena, you totally scored! That is a gem of a find. Love it! :)
Books — I have some suggestions and an idea but I will email you about them/it.

Kristena, that movie was scary. I am only half glad I watched it. :/ Cute flowers.

What a great find! A good thrift store is better than Las Vegas any day!

oh my, that is amazing - my mother once did an amazing crewel work of flowers for my grandmother - years later, we pulled it out of her closet - with a $3 sticker on it - she had tried to sell it at a garage sale!! lol
