It rained most of the day...And I couldn't be happier.

I am one of those odd ducks that truly loves a rainy day. There is something so peaceful about a nice steady rain...truth be told I also love a good storm. Not that I ever want anyone to get hurt or lose anything important...but just hearing thunder causes my heart to do a little dance and my soul to fly around doing twirls. Being of Swedish decent the Thor lover in me just can't help myself. Slap horns on my head and throw a fur over my shoulder and call me Gustavia. This summer we have had few precious days of rain..personally I think it has made everyone down right grumpy. With all this talk about the impending bacon shortage or porkpocalypse ( perhaps the Mayans were right after all and its all coming to an end due to lack of bacon; as good a reason as any I suppose. So huzzah for this glorious Fall rainy day today!

Today was also Thrifting Thursday so out we went into the haze of this Fall day and came home empty handed. The only thing I found did give me pause because I find it nearly impossible to not buy anything that is vintage Dansk. The Mesa pattern just doesn't speak to me, so I left it behind. In hopes  that someone that loves Dansk as much as I do stumbles upon it and hits the proverbial mother-load of riches. As Mr. Atomic Moxie and I left the thrift store we decided that today needed coffee and a blueberry muffin ... it wasn't a total loss, How was your thrifting today?

  1. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO STAND OUT IN THE RAIN IF WE COULD GET SOME. HOWEVER, THEY ARE PREDICTING MAYBE LATE TONIGHT. WE COULD USE RAIN FOR SEVERAL DAYS.

  3. Juts found your blog via Apron Thrift Girl. Love it! I recently passed up a whole set of the same Dansk pattern. There is something too dreary about that pattern.
    Also, for a second I thought you were located in Maine due to the name Moxie (local soda drink here in this state). But then I saw that it is named after your cat. Good name :-)
