Thrifting Find: Metal Box

Over the past couple of years, I've been getting into thrifting little by little. I go to thrift stores often with clients and usually stick to looking for my classics for cheap.  But lately I've been poking around a bit more. Now I tend to look for teacups/teapots, nesting dolls, anything with pugs, globes, maps, and the list goes on and on.

Remember my one line a day journal?  Well I love that project, but the note cards have just sat on my kitchen table for months. Literally. They needed a more permanent home. So this weekend I found the perfect metal box for $.99 while out thrifting.

 

The color is sort of hideous, but just okay enough for me to love it. Even the old piece of tape gives it character. Eventually I might try to do something with it. But for now, I'm just glad those things are off my table.

Pinterest Project: One-line a day

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I'm horrible at keeping up with projects. If I don't start something and finish it pretty much immediately, it will never get done.  Short and sweet is my style.

On that note, one of the things I wish I could do is journal more often. I love looking back on entries and expressing myself in that way, I just can't stay consistent. So when I saw this one line a day journal on Pinterest, I was intrigued. I started my journal on May 10th and so far it's been easy! Mine is not nearly as cutesy as the Pinterest journal, but it'll be fun looking back on it over the years!

Also, apparently there's an app for this! A few weeks ago I downloaded "Timehop" on my phone. Every day it shows "your day in history"- pictures/statuses/anything that you've posted on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc. on that day in years past. If you get it, follow me @sarehe212!
