Dreaming Of: A Kitchen of Bountiful Appliances & Accessories

I try to be realistic here.  I’m a poor college kid dreaming of big things but working up to those big things in many little ways every day.  I’m a poor college kid who likes to cook, decorate, and be crafty.  Decorating I can do on the cheap by shopping secondhand stores and being creative.  I can be crafty by using things I already have and even by doing things on my computer.  Cooking I can do, but only with what I currently have and with ingredients I can afford.  This post is dedicated to all the cooking-related appliances and accessories I would totally have stocked in my miraculous dream kitchen if I had the money.  Dreaming is good, right – that’s what my blog is all about, so I hope you say yes!

Not only is this a very chic and organized way to house spices, but they usually come with the spices included which overall is much cheaper than buying all the spices in the store upfront.

What Does the Goodwill Put in the Water?

You know how much I love to shop at places like Goodwill with their super low prices and amazing finds (if you look hard enough to find them).  I sometimes see other shoppers’ excitement while I am scooting past people, scanning the shelves one by one, but I have been caught off guard twice now with some interesting behavior that I have only seen at the Goodwill.

A few months ago, San and I went looking for a table for him to use in his apartment.  He scored a cute round one for around $7.  As we were taking it apart to fit in his car in the entryway of the store, a cutely dressed couple came walking past us.  The man lifted the woman up into his arms and carried her over the threshold, out the door, and then to their car.  A woman outside said, “God bless you both!  We need to see more of that!  Love like that is hard to find!”

San and I laughed – mostly because we felt like he was expected to carry me to the car.  Luckily, with a heavy table in tow that was not possible.  I’m not a big PDA person or

Dreaming Of: The Perfect Camera Bag

Now that I am an avid user of a Digital SLR camera (a Nikon D5000 to be exact), I have been hankering for not only new lenses (or just one new one for now), but also for a more roomy and cute camera bag.

When I bought my camera, I added on an inexpensive kit that included this camera bag:

It does pretty much all I need it to do right now, seeing as I usually don’t go anywhere, so I don’t need to take my camera with me, and I only have the kit lens that came with the camera, so I don’t need any extra storage.  This little carrying case will always be useful when I am on the go and only need one lens, but I plan on purchasing a new lens in the near future and will want more storage, as well as for papers, filters, my point and shoot camera, as well as room to grow.

Here are some options that meet my camera bag requirements that it must be cute and have organized space

Brand New Target Shoes at Goodwill Prices

Sunday must have been my day because not only did I finish my room and chalkboards, make a great spaghetti casserole, and think of a great idea for a cheap spring decorating accessory (more on that later this month), but I also scored some great shoes at amazing prices.

San and I decided to stop by the local Goodwill, more to kill time than to buy anything.  When I walked in there was a huge section of brand new Target shoes.  Not only were they cheap, but they were so cute.  I would have probably bought a pair for full price at Target because I liked them that much, but instead I snagged four pairs!

Okay, so I bought three pairs in the same style, but I seriously love them!  I love wearing flats, but I have a problem with them cutting into my heels making them unwearable.  These are a soft suede that does not cut into my heel and they have a great hard rubber bottom making them great for random Minnesota weather.  I also bought the tan ones because they also will not cut into
