Blog I Love: Shop Vintage Portland

As a complete narcissist, I am a big fan of anyone who is just like me and likes all of the same things that I like. When I found the blog Shop Vintage Portland, I felt instantly at home with the reviews of thrift shops and colorful photos of stuff I would love to buy.... Like pastel colored ceramic goodies and Hawaiian printed bathing suits. It must be love!

The Cutest Knit Elephant There Ever Was!

My heart melted when I saw this adorable knit elephant at the Crowded Closet in Iowa City over the weekend. I especially love the colors the knitter chose for his blanket and the amazing little tassels tufted onto the sides. Sometimes, its the handmade things you find at the thrift store that strike your fancy the most as is the case with the knit elephant!

Making Mc Muffins

I don't know about you, but I seriously enjoy a good Egg McMuffin from McDonalds every so often. Unfortunately, I seldom get my ass into gear and get out of the house and to McDonalds by 10 a.m. or whatever crazy early time they decide to quit serving breakfast. So last Sunday, we decided to take matters into our own hands and make our own Egg McMuffins, which turned out super good.

What you need:
6 pack of muffins- $1.00
Canadian Bacon- $1.50
Eggs- $1.00
Cheese- $2.50

You can make 6 Egg McMuffins for only $6 bucks! Amazing, right?

My little brother actually did most of the cooking. He cooked those eggs perfectly, toasted the muffins lightly, and pan cooked the Canadian bacon to warm it. Lastly, he melted the cheese onto the egg and put the little sandwich all together to create culinary perfection.

McMuffins, AHOY!!!!

Cute Korean Tape

I decided to get crafty and decorate this little box I had with some of the decorative tape I picked up in Korea. For the record, decorative tape is awesome! The little rolls of tape are from stationary stores in South Korea largely populated with little kids. Everything at said stationary stores is cute, cheap, and colorful. Needless to say, I spent the majority of my pocket change in stationary stores!

The end result of my taping experiment was pure eye candy perfection. My box is completely covered in cute tape and now I can start the process of covering it in equally gaudy stickers.

Way to get crafty, me!
