To the left is my first attempt at a Katniss-esque braid. I think it turned out pretty well. I did it while watching Castle (the dad from The Nanny was the bad guy. Kind of bizarre destruction of childhood...)
Then I decided to go shopping and wound up at my favorite consignment store: Snooty Fox. Spent $60 and wound up with another pair of Red Engine jeans (read: over $100 pair of great blue jeans), a pair of brand new with tags white jeans, two cute tops and the dress I'll be wearing to all my friends' weddings this summer -->
Adorable. Yes. Now I just need a date...
Next I wandered over to the antique store next door. Took me 15 minutes to realize I was now the kind of person who enjoys antiquing. Though now that I think of it, I have always enjoyed looking at old stuff. Even as a small child. My parents would go to the antique mall in Jackson and I looooooved looking at all the old toys and knick knacks. LOVED it. Can't believe it took me this long to figure out I love vintage clothes...
Anyway, while wandering around looking for vintage engagement rings (I just love looking at them and wondering about their owners. They just symbolize so much about their lives and I wonder if they were happy, if the girl said "yes" or the guy held on to it for his whole life. If the man was a solider, if he died in the war before they could get married, if she gave the ring to her daughter, if they never had kids and on and on and on) I found these gorgeous champagne flutes. 
I've been looking for good champagne flutes for a while now, and these were perfect. The deciding factor came when I flipped one over and found the glass blower had etched his name and the date: 12-31-89. As in 1889, which was also etched on the bottom.
Now I don't know much about this sort of thing, but I'm guessing they're worth more than the $30 I paid for 3 of them.
