finds for friday.

so, i'm thinking about starting a post weekly: "finds for friday"

where i share thrift store or swap meet finds that i come across

for now they are mostly ones i will use for the wedding

but later...in oregon, they will probably be for the home we put together

what do you guys think?

here are this week's:

last sunday, i was walking through the maze that is the Rosebowl swap meet and passed stacks upon stacks of these massive tan books. as i looked a bit closer, i realized that they were books of newspaper articles from the New York Times. oh goodness. i died. then i grabbed one from 1946 which had prints from Aug. 1-15 ( including my wedding date).

i'm going to use it for my guest book!

lastly, my old door. i have an old window that i had previously bought to use for the seating at the wedding. i knew i needed either another window or a big old wooden door.

problem: everyone wants to sell old doors for WAY TOO MUCH $$$

i had given up my dream until i came across the same gentleman at the same swap meet who had sold me my window. cost for an old door: $30 way better than $100-200
