Kind of a 'crappy' week on my end. It all started on Monday as I was leaving work, just before clocking out for the day someone walks into the store, takes a crap in front of the customer washroom & then walks out. Uhhh, OK. We just implemented a washroom key, so was this like the ultimate protest? Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday absolute freezing temps here. When I was checking out the weather, they were forecasting warmer temps in Nunavut & Alaska than in Toronto. So.. that said, I kept myself home those days. Thursday, my friend & I had a thrifting adventure planned, but her personal trainer kicked her butt & she was injured & had to stay home. I went out & about anyway (finds below), but left prematurely.. it was just too damn cold! Friday, I had a huge thrifting trip planned out, but some winter weather was headed out way, so I shortened the trip. As soon as we got out, the bad weather started & we came home again, prematurely. Cars were slipping & sliding everywhere. There was a 70 car pile up on the highway, a 30 minute drive on the highway took my boyfriend brother almost 4 hours. The roads were frightening, I'm glad we turned back. & today, we were going to go out.. but we just stayed in bed. All day. Now I'm here. 

I bought this Terra 475 casserole from Value Village. Terra isn't a pattern that (at least) I see around here, so I was surprised. I enjoy this pattern. I wasn't sure if Terra was a pattern that could be fixed for utensil marks or not, I tried briefly after taking this photo.. doesn't seem like it? Will still give it a go. Probably why it was still there, lol. I've seen some awesome cleanups online, so I thought this had a chance & I guess with Terra it's actually marked in the paint once there is a utensil mark? Any input? I held it up to the light in the thrift shop, it didn't go through the bowl... if it did. I wouldn't have bought it. 

Ok. I absolutely love this apron. This suits my attitude to a tee & I couldn't have found it on a better day - when I got home I had 4-5 hours of housework ahead of me! Surprise! It didn't get done.

I collect these Paula C.M. Co. writing tablets, although I only have about 10. I haven't seen one in a long time, so I was happy to find this one from 1991. Looks so Saved By The Bell influenced. It was in a grab bag with what I had thought was a pencilcase full of pencils, but when I got home it was a bunch of makeup brushes that were never opened & had the perfect eyebrow brushes that I have been searching for. The eyebrow brushes of my dreams. 

The weather ain't looking too pretty for this upcoming week either. We'll see how it goes. I'll be living vicariously through all you guys this week! Can't wait to see what you find.

Would anybody interested if I held a weekly party inspired by both A Very Cherry World's Rednesday & Nicki Minaj - Pink Friday? Or too many linkups?
