Random Things Make Me Happy

So this is what I did with the Owl thing that I thrifted recently. I still have no clue what the hell it actually is, but since I love INSTANT usage out of random items, I figured this would be cute to try!

Just the back view and our netflix movie in the background...we love us some netflix! I think it's Bridesmaids?

Why the hell not show a RANDOM outfit of the day...no reason, just for the hell of it. 100% Thrifted of course...

My nasty feet and my freckled legs who won't see the sun's rays for the rest of my life....lol

Ok, so this random item(s) is another one of my "sicknesses". I love to frame, well framed art! I got the rooster pic for $1 and the already painted tourquoise frame was only $3! (notice I have not even cleaned it yet..I was too anxious) I also love to frame random items such as my next pic....

BACK OFF PETA! IT'S A FAKE ONE!

I found this random item at an antique shop. It is an ash tray (vintage) with a little wooden owl on it that swivels :-) I have a thing for owls and birds and all critters....

BY FAR my favorite thing I have thrifted recently! I randomly went to a thrift store that I had not been to in well over a month or so which is like a friggin YEAR for me. All of a sudden, BAM! I saw this and exclaimed "SHUT UP!"

Me showing the lace detail on the collar of the "jacket" it came with, oh and also that is my way of remembering things. I have to remember something at 9:30AM tomorrow so I wrote it on my hand....no wonder I forget shit...I wash my damn hands!

Random thing that Jason brought home from a sale at an antique shop...we love our cocks! lol

I bought this for Jason for a VERY GOOD PRICE and found out it was worth a LOT more....

Random Home Decor I thrifted that is a little wine bottle you hang on the wall...

Our RANDOM cat we call OREO. The chipmunks keep her ass tired....lol

I love to use shit in weird ways...

I have this sickness. It is called, multipurpose OCD. When I look at an item in the thrift store I don't see it as what it was intended for.  I see it as an opportunity to challenge myself as to  what  I can "do" with it. I get it honestly. My uncle suffers from MOCD and he is what I call a "stage 4 high class professional rigger". He can take trash and turn it into something amazing and the next thing you know that lamp your using to read a book was made out of old rusted water pipes, fishing line string and a lamp shade covered in vintage post cards. No kidding. He is that good. If you watch my videos on YT and you have seen the ones with my mother in it, then picture a male version of her who is just as likeable and intelligent. There needs to be more people like them in this world. As for me, well, ya know,  I am a "stage 1 low budget bitch" and I don't have the time to make things work in a professional and almost flawless way. I could go on and on about my uncles talent, but the one thing he has taught me is to think outside the box.....like way the hell outside the box.....like a damn mile away from the general vicinity of the box (you get my point).

I am like a drug addict....I need instant pleasure from an item. I need it to work and I need it to work right the hell now. Not that I don't mind working on something. I have several projects in our home that have taken me months if not years to finally finish. That comes with the territory when you thrift an entire project and it takes time to find those "perfect" items. So as not to make this as long as one of my damn videos on YT...I am going to post a few pictures of things that I have in my home that I thrifted and used for OTHER purposes. Enjoy my sickness...
