I’ve been wanting to thrift a rocking chair all year to help with self-regulation, and I finally found this really cute one today that wasn’t falling apart. It’s in need of some cleaning, and I’ll need to stabilize the arms at some point, but otherwise it’s in good condition. It’s well-balanced and just the right height and depth for me to be comfortable.

Christmas tea bar update! ☺️ This year vs last year vs the year before. It felt so bare bones at first, but every year it’s grown a little more.

I’ve been wanting a little lamp for the kitchen for a long time, so I was really happy when I found this cute cranberry lamp at the thrift store the other day (I also got a matching blueberry one for my mom).

My kitchen is a really bland and grey space, so I’m glad to add a little bit of color. I also have light sensitivity, so I hate using the bright overhead light unless I’m doing something detail oriented. I already love how much cozier the kitchen feels at night with a softer light source.

My thrift finds from this past month ☺️

I got this little Windsor teapot for $35 at an antique store in Galveston (Antiques on 23rd, which also has a really good selection of old LGBT books!). I thought the pink and green roses would go really well with my table.

I also picked up these pink glass plates for $2 apiece at a local thrift store. I've got enough cute dinner plates now to finally pass on the hand-me-down set that a family friend gave me over a decade ago.
