i found this rolltop desk quite a while ago, but the price i got it for makes it post-worthy. callum and i spotted it ouside our local value village for $14.99!!! crazy i know. we paid for it, ran home and grabbed the dolly and trucked that thing back home. i was going to paint it white, but now i think i've fallen in love with it's beat up charm. plus it's solid wood and built in kentucky. i do plan on updating the hardware at some point, but until i'm sick of the wood, i'll hold off on the paint.

value village addict: gap jean jacket ($9)
i found this gap jean jacket a couple weeks ago at value village and the second the warm weather hit - you can't catch me in anything else. this pic is from last weekend when callum and i ventured down to the beaches for the first time. it was smokin' hot outside, but he was able to capture this photo before that jacket was off and outta sight.

value village addict: vintage suitcase + shoes ($17)
i am an addict, a value village addict. it has been one day since my last relapse. for those of you who know, you know i visit " v v " (as we addicts call it) about 3 or 4 times a week - it doesn't help that i live two minutes away from one! i'm going to start posting all of my finds for everyone so you can see what you're missing out on if you don't shop the village. yesterday i found a vintage jetliner luggage bag for $12 and a pair of cute shoes for only $5. i also found a pepto bismol pink ukulele for $5, but it's previous owner wrote personal messages all over it, so it will have to be repainted. i'll post pics once it's a little more presentable.

value village addict: vanity ($14)
you wouldn't believe my surprise last night when i found this gem sitting outside
my local value village. in the time i went inside to pay, there were already
two people outside trying to scoop it up. what's great is it only set me back $20,
and it has added it's worth and more of charm to my empty bathroom. all it needs
is a fresh coat of paint and it'll look good as new.
