Shopping > Rock Wall [s]

Slept in till about 10 this morning. Woke up with awful allergies.

My mom took me to this vintage sale the place was called Born in a barn It reminded me of the Hogshed, but this was an old barn building with horse stables that was now a vintage shop.

The pricing was ridiculously cheap. I enjoyed it a lot. My mom and I say its like a treasure hunt :)

You know, its not always about the materials we buy, but the memories and time spent with my mom that i love so much. We have so much fun, we are both such thrift shoppers, i tend to give in more and buy what i want, she is pretty practical. But i think as shopping partners we balance each other out.

My treasure finds:


Carrie picked me up at 2 and we went to this place called "The Cave" It is in Minneapolis and it is a mountain/rock climbing store and in the basement the walls and ceiling are rock climbing walls. But you don't climb UP them more like horizontally across.


They have "pathways" marked with color coated tape. The hot pink one is for beginners, lets just say i should have been doing the childs course. The amount of body flexibility combined with strength is something i did not have.

Carrie is decent at it:


The fun thing about this-- IT IS 100% FREE!! Parking is free, they have their own lot you just have to get your ticket validated, and if you were tight comfy tennis shoes that will suffice. Otherwise you can rent shoes for 2 dollars. And you can stay as long as you want.


We lasted about 35 minutes and then are arms felt like jello.

We went to mall of america. Carrie's new GPS took us on a slight detour.. to say the least. Ha.

Came home and watched an episode of Hoarders with my parents, now me and my mom are watching the show Ruby. ( A 700lb red headed women who wants to be 150 lbs.)

It is on netflix.

Hope everyone had a good weekend! :)

  1. You're so adorable! I loved this post. My mom and I are thrifters, too. I live right down the street from one of the biggest Goodwills in town, and one of my favorite things to do is to buy the old wooden jewelry boxes or picture frames and re-paint them. It's so much fun and they make for great gifts!
