Fun new purchases!

I love this time of year cause there are so many garage sales, antique sales, festivals and craft sales. Here are some goodies I have picked up in the last little while!

I got these on Etsy for my penpals. They came in the mail this week and they are even nicer in person
Circles and Squares Etsy shop

Great Glebe Garage sale goodies! This garage sale is once a year where a whole area of town turns into the most epic flea market you have ever seen. The Glebe is a pretty well off part of town so when rich people want to rid their junk there are usually some pretty awesome finds!. We didn't spend more than 9$ on all this stuff! The 2 stools are goign to be refinished for our lovingroom. And the axe is for a fun DIY project I have been wanting to do for a while now here is a picture to get an idea.
Ours will be painted in a teal colour to match the livingroom

Today we went to Idle Hands craft and vintage sale on Waverly right by our place. They had so much cool stuff! The wall art for the kitchen was made by a really nice lady who had so many cool pieces be sure to check out her blog eufemiabella.blogspot.ca/ . I got amazing smelling Mint Rose bath salts from a small local company opening up a store on Somerset this week purpleurchinsoap.com/. The book is actually a blank notebook made from repurposed old novels! The girl who makes them is on tumblr be sure to go follow her saplingseedling.tumblr.com/ . And lastly a cool little post card for one of my penpals!

Retail Therapy Home Edition: Taxidermy and Wax

Recently I bought some stuff online for around the house. They magically both showed up together on a friday night! Best way to come home from work and start off my weekend.

First off I got some mounted antlers to go into our livingroom. We are going to paint the plaques all teal and remount the antlers.



Second I ordered some new Scentsy products! My mom got  me hooked on this company just before Christmas. We are both big on scented candles and oils for the house but have never found the perfect balance between too strong, ones that burn too fast, or ones that don't smell the same when you burn them as they do in store. 

These are marketed as scented flameless candles. It's pretty much a ceramic base with a lightbulb inside that lights the top ceraminc piece. You put scented wax in the top and it melts and fills up your home with the most amazing smells! They have hundreds of scents so you can never get bored. I find half a bar lasts about one week if you have it on every night.

I ordered a new full sized heater for the living room the other one we have is going into our bedroom and I ordered a plug in one for the kitchen.



Need to ordered some sample tabs to find some spring / summer smells soon!

Also on the home front we've decided not to move but just to make our current place nicer. We had the weigh the pros and cons of moving and decided we will be much happier here with some much needed fixing up! I still have the same plans colour wise for the living room and kitchen. My moms doing curtains for the whole house and new bedding for our bedroom! Our landlords are getting a laminate wood floor put in through out all of the living space and having the nasty carpet taken out. We'll get new floors and cupboards in the kitchen as well! Fresh paint throughout the whole space and we're doing something really cool with that stairs that I have wanted to do since we moved in

Not in those colours but it's wallpaper! Doesn't it look cool? I'll be sure to post lots of update pics as we give our place a facelift!
