I'm back from my trip to Alaska, and though I had a grand time with my family, I'm extremely happy to be back with B, my kitties, and my hammie! I was sick for almost the whole entire time I was on vacation, and the red eye flight back home was really uncomfortable that I didn't get a wink of sleep, so I plopped right into bed as soon as I walked in the door.
These pictures are from before I got super sick. My siblings and I love to nosh, so we had lunch at a wonderful, little bistro in Downtown Anchorage called Crush. I also went thrfting with my sister, and we scored some major deals from a thrift store called Turn a Leaf in Wasilla, and no, I didn't see Sarah Palin or Russia.
Turn a Leaf has a special sale on Wednesdays where all adult clothing is only $1, so I paid a grand total of $9 for all these sweaters, cardigans, books, and a lovely purse. I done good, methinks. I actually ended up leaving the tribal print sweater back up north since it was way too bulky to fit in my suitcase, and I had already spent $40 shipping other things back to Illinois. Regrets, regrets.

I hope you're enjoying your weekend! I still have a slight cough and headache, but I'm definitely on the mend. I opened up my shop again today, and I'm working on getting photos of some new hair accessories I made while on vacation. I know, I know, I can't stop crafting!
Hooray for getting so many $1 deals! I love when thrift stores have days like those. Looks like you got a lot of cute sweaters.
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better soon! I have a cold too and it sucks.
Get well soon and stay warm! I'm glad you had a nice trip back to Alaska! :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome home! I say that like it's my home. Ah well.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're feeling better. As much fun as I might have on a vacation, I don't think I have ever been unhappy to finally go home.
Oh yum, too tasty-looking food! Love it. And that outfit is fantastic, I need to sew something from my floral fabrics after seeing it, so cute!! You seriously rock it, beautiful :) ♥
ReplyDeleteI can't believe what stunning bargains you've made - $1 per item? Incredible!

THE PURSE AND THE POPCORN KNIT SWEATER. YOU LUCKY LAURA YOU! Caps lock aside (heh), what a great haul. Shame about the tribal print sweater though. At least you know you'll have it waiting for you the next time you visit or maybe someone could send it down to you.
ReplyDeleteMan oh man, all that food looks good. I think I spied some bacon peeking out of a sandwich. Mmm.
