Five things meme

I've been tagged for a 5 things meme by Marla!
Five things found in your bag:
1. A powder compact for the palest drugstore powder I can find. Bonus! Little Elvis thinks this thing is one of the bestest toys ever.
2. Shimmery lipstick I bought a couple of years ago and didn't like. Now I think it's a good summer shade.
3. Ticket that a friend gave me for a consignment sale in the area. I wouldn't have paid that entry fee, and didn't find a single thing when we went.
4. A receipt for Huggies diapers that we will send in to get a dollar rebate once I collect four more.
5. And a funny shaped emory board that I got at our last ultrasound for Little Elvis. I always need these at the strangest times, but I haven't had to use it yet.


Five favorite things in your room:
1. These are two vintage hats that my mom bought me at estate sales. I have a few vintage hats, but these are my favorites. The navy one is actually several bows. The khaki one is just a super cool shape.
2. You can't really see them, but the hats are sitting on vintage hat stands that Bob and I found at an estate sale up here. They have red "M"s on them.
3. The beaded bag was hand beaded by me. I don't even want to think about the amount of time that went into that bag. I've never used it, but I'm pretty sure it's durable. I need to use it.

4. Our marriage license.















This is a vintage radio that Bob and I bought at a garage sale for $15. It was painted a horrid shade of olive green. We stripped the awful paint off and the wood underneath was so beautiful. Then Bob retrofitted it to house my jewelry. This is also one of Little Elvis' favorite spots in our room. I need to put something up in front of the necklaces, I know.

Five things you've always wanted to do:
1. Travel to another country. I've been to Mexico, but does Cancun really count? Europe is calling my name.
2. Reupholster a chair (we're undertaking that this week!)
3. Live in an old church. I think it would be fun to renovate.
4. Open a family friendly movie theatre with play area for toddlers that is breastfeeding friendly and has open mic nights (Bob needs to have a wish here, too!)
5. I'd like to publish a novel. I wrote a very rough draft before getting pregnant. It's needs LOTS of editing and whenever I open it, I just sit and stare.

Five things you are currently into:
(I'm picking television shows!)
1. LOST
2. My Name is Earl
3. The Office
4. Dancing with the Stars
5. How I Met Your Mother

Awesome hat!!! How long did it take???

"Little Elvis thinks this thing is one of the bestest toys ever." Why is it that the $25 toy gets no love, but a random item gets all the attention--such as fuzz, a cap, a remote control, a piece of paper, an old hairbrush, a hair clip, a dirty spoon . . . why bother with toys???

Great! I hope you had fun with it. I love that you added the pictures!

That is an odd emery board. I love the gorgeous radio. You hand beaded that purse. I can't even fathom how long and how hard that was. It looks very pretty. M still loves the doggie purse you sent her.

Great list, and I love that old radio. I really hope you get to Europe someday. I've been several times (and lived in London for 5 months) and it is so amazing.
