#thriftythursday – Holiday Fashion

It’s Thursday, people, which means it’s time to get THRIFTY! Did you make a trip to your local flea market or thrift shop this past week? Did the Thrifty Fates smile on you? Tell me about it here, then pull out your camera phone and post pics on Twitter, Facebook, and/or Instagram using the hashtag #thriftythursday.

This week I stumbled upon some holiday fashion – a little for my home, and a little for me! A pair of charming glass Christmas trees are now happily perched on the sideboard in my dining room, and a really pretty gold-toned dress (that in all honesty will probably never see the light of day) is now hanging in my closet. I don’t have to feel bad about that, because it was only $5! *woot, woot*

HEY. You know what kindof looks like #thriftythursday? THIS: #thirstythursday. #thriftythursday, #thirstythursday. They’re like twins, separated at birth. Separately, they’re their own thing, but when you get ’em together, it’s like….YES!

Since #thriftythursday and #thirstythursday go together like milk and cookies, this week I’m going to pair my bargains with a celebratory drink recipe. I have mojitos on my mind, thanks to a fabulous engagement party the Hubster and I attended a couple weeks ago. Also, Hemingway had a fondness for this minty-rum concoction, and since he was a writer and I’m a writer we’re basically besties separated by a few generations…right? Right? Him, me, and Nick Miller.
