Thrifting finds...!

I love thrifting. I love walking into a thrift store and not knowing what I'm looking for and finding some treasures! I found this adorable clutch yesterday. I think it will go perfectly with my bridesmaid dress for my bestie Michelle's wedding.
only $1.50! what a steal!

Today my sister and I had a sister date. Obviously that always involved some tea and thrifting! I found a canner today. I have been canning for a few years now but always have to borrow someones so I figured I needed one of my own! I plan on doing lots of canning this summer. Some new things I want to try canning are Apricot Vanilla Bean jam and some Corn Relish! I'll do my regular raspberry jam, pickles, pickled beans, peaches and salsa too!
Some canning inspiration...





 Hopefully this crazy rain stops soon so everything can start growing and I can start canning! Well I am off to make dinner. We have some friends coming over tonight My hubby cooked a roast and it is smelling delicious!

Happy Saturday. :)

Confession time

A few confessions...

-on Mondays I purposely try and make my evening free from 8-10 to watch Bachelorette...I know it's horrible mind garbage but it's just so addicting to watch..

-sometimes I crave sprinkle donuts from Tim Hortons..Weird I know!

- I don't know how to properly iron..When something needs to be ironed I fluff it in the dryer. Ironing is just a domestic skill I just haven't mastered yet!

-I'm secretly really excited for Fall. I LOVE everything about fall. Boots, sweaters and shopping for new boots and sweaters, pumpkin spice lattes, apples, picking apples, butternut squash anything, and cold crisp sunny days. It's also my birthday in September and if you know me well, you know I'm a "birthday monster" says my Mom.

- sometimes I don't make the bed in the morning before going to work but quickly make it after work before my hubby gets home and pretend I made it in the morning

Well those are my Wednesday night confessions!

I'll leave you with some photos!

sprinkle donut craving!
Me and Mika at our softball game. If you ever come watch you
can find me in the right field!

I have the best husband. He took me antique shopping
on our way home from the cabin this weekend and I picked this!
I know I have a bit of a teacup obsession but
 don't worry I'll stop soon and be onto a new obsession


Have a good week!
