1 for me, 1 for you

Today the hubs and I went to the dentist and both got bad news...that's what we get for not going for 5 years. I need two crowns and the hubs needs crowns and 2 root canals...ugh...so look for a sale soon. To cheer myself up I did some 2nd hand shopping. I found 1 thing I've been looking for and something for the shop too.
A large jewelry box that I've been looking for, for a reasonable price and a beautiful cherry blossom vase for the shop. So gorgeous!

YAY very excited for my new jewelry box...and that vase...I almost kept it.

70s winnie the pooh nautical spring/summer jacket
