Last week's Smell the Roses task was to do something that gets your creative juices flowing.
Well I pretty much dropped the ball on taking pictures of what I did. BUT I did do something that I've never done before and that most definitely got me in a creative mindset.
I went thrifting AND antiquing with Sara. She took me to a cute little shop in Lakeland called Pumpernacks that I fell in love with :)

I bought a a vintage Coach cross body bag for...wait for it...$16! YES! I'm not going to show you any pictures, because I plan on doing an outfit post wearing it in the future :) But I fell in love with this black globe; I've never seen one like it before!

I really enjoyed looking at all of the vintage knick knacks. We went to a few thrift stores, too. I wasn't so much into the clothes, but Sara found a lot of cute pieces! I also could've spent 3 hours looking at all of the books...hardback books for $1.50?! I don't think I'll ever be able to spend $20+ on a book again. Just saying!
After we did some shopping and grabbed lunch we went to Starbucks and talked about blogging for like 3 straight hours. I'm not even exaggerating. It's so nice to have someone to meet up with and bounce ideas off of! If that doesn't get your creative juices flowing, I don't know what will.
It was a Saturday well spent :) I can't wait until our next girls' day! And since this post is lacking in pictures, here are a few randoms from my weekend:
On Friday night I got sushi with some of my favorite people on the planet :) My boyfriend, Adam, one of my best friends, Danielle, and my [basically] big brother, Cole. SO MUCH SUSHI and we ate it all...oops! I swear I could eat sushi every single day for the rest of my life.
In case you weren't aware, there is a tropical storm currently taking over the state of Florida. So after church on Sunday, Adam & I went back to my apartment and got cozy with some drinks (gin & tonic for Adam and coffee with mint chocolate Baileys for me!) and a movie. It was so relaxing to leave the sliding glass door open and listen to the rain fall on the lake while watching This Means War. I don't mind the rain when it means time to cuddle with my love! ...end cheesiness ;)
