Flip-Flops
You know those sneakers that light up when you walk or run? The kind of sneakers that little kids wear?

Hot Dogs & More!
My parents used to own a fast food restaurant called Pioneer Chicken. They sold it more than ten years ago, but they still use leftover restaurant supplies at home. My mom pulled these out for New Year's lunch today. I don't know why they say "Hot Dogs & More" instead of "Pioneer Chicken," but my brother-in-law was a big fan of their retro stylin' so I decided to feature them here. They're not a thrift store purchase, but they have that intangible thrift store vibe.
Fireplace Vignette
Happy 2011 everyone!
When I was last at my mom's house, I saw this wicker wine bottle carrier thing. My parents don't drink, so I was curious how my mom would repurpose it. Then I came over for lunch today and found it, OBVIOUSLY, in front of the fireplace...
...along with (from left to right):
1) another green marble wine holder/cooler and two matching candlesticks
2) fireplace pokers, etc
3) two conches
4) (two-bottle wicker wine holder)
5) basket of pine cones left by the previous owner of the house
6) two marble sculptures of twin dolphins riding the surf
Doesn't everyone decorate their fireplace this way?
