Thrifting: With Love Jamie

Happy Thursday Loves! I am pleased to say that Jamie from With Love Jamie is back visiting 

us again while I am still enjoying my week in Florida with the Fam. 

She is a beautiful momma with a ton of the same interests as me (thrifting, tattoo's, a love for music) 

                                      and I am pretty sure we could be best friends in real life. ;) 

Enjoy her post on Thrifting! We all know how dear to my heart thrifting is. 

Have Fun and Thanks Jamie. 

Hello! It's Jamie again from the blog With Love, Jamie. I'm back this time to share a little antiqueing goodness with all of you while Ashley is away on vacation!

Since Ashley enjoys thrifty things like I do, I thought it would be fun to share with all of you a little bit about my love for antique shop hunting, and some of my favorite finds EVER, just for fun!

Hunting through antique stores has become one of my favorite hobbies. Like a kid in a candy store, I could spend all day searching for treasures, I love it! 

I am a HUGE owl fan, like lots of other awesome ladies out there, so I am always on the hunt for cute hoots! And I have quite the collection going on around my home!  I am also always on the look out for sweet deer, mushrooms & matryoshka nesting dolls. Favorites. Love them.

Tiny owls to go on my (also antique) tiny wooden shelves always make me super happy to find...

Nesting dolls are so pretty, colorful & cheerful. I just want them all over my home (I also want one tattooed on me, someday)...

These mushroom paintings are some of my favorite finds EVER...

I love finding deer! Sometimes they can be hard to find, so when I come across sweet little deer like these it totally makes my heart happy...

And this guy right here, he is my FAVORITE owl. He sits right next to my computer so I get to see him all the time :)...

Well, thanks for letting me share a little bit of my love for antiqueing! It was fun!

What kinds of things do YOU hunt for when you go antique store/thrift shop hunting???

Lots of love!

xo, Jamie

Guest Post: Q&A with Before The I Do's

I have a special treat for you! I would like to introduce you to the beautiful 

Jessica from Before The I Do's. It is her first time visiting and sharing with us 

here at my little blog and I couldn't be happier. She is simply darling!

Enjoy her post and make sure to go and visit her Blog,

Hello Beautiful Readers of Thrifty & Nifty Modern Day Momma -My name is Jessica & you can find me over at Before The I Do's, First thing you should know about me,  I am a lover of Jesus & thankful for the gifts he provides each & everyday. I would consider myself a lifestyle blog with my own twist on things. I am a country living, sport lovin' barefoot blue jeans,  beer drinking kinda Lady. Yet, Come October 13th of 2012, I will be a navy wife which means I might have to trade some of those things in, but it won't be the sports!!  I am addicted to Starbucks & have a secret obsession with shopping. I blog about our lives with the military, wedding planning, living on a dirt road in San Diego, working way too much, having too many animals {12 to be exact} , fitness or lack of  & becoming a mom to a 4 year old little boy & much more.  So grab your favorite wine, beer or Starbucks & come say hello to me. I LOVE meeting new friends!  

 1. What Inspires you most in your life? It is so tough for me to pick one thing, I would say my dad is what inspires me most. Weird to think, but without him I wouldn't be where I am today. He is my biggest cheerleader and the one person who will continue to push me even when I want to give up.  

2. How you plan to spend your summer?

My summer is being spent trying to get in shape for my wedding {epic fail so far}, going to summer school to become a pre school teacher for the school Eli goes too, & working a lot!! so basically nothing to fun!!  

3. If you could pick just one place to visit where would it be and why?

I used to always say Australia just because I think it would be fun, but now I m changing my mind I would love to visit Jamaica I think. It just sounds fun!! I really have no idea. I have lots of places I want to visit.. it is all on my bucket list!!   

4. If you could meet any blogger who would it be and why?

If i could meet any blogger, this is tough. There are so many I would love to meet, one including Ashley. I think we would get along so great!!!  

5. What do you look forward to most in your day to day schedule?

What I look forward to most in my day... sounds weird but showering & getting into bed!! I work at home so I am always stressed to work, blog, make sure everyone is happy, cleaning, being mom, being a soon to be wife, being a daughter, being a mom to fur children. There is lots to do in our home so really just that shower & climbing into bed to read for a few minutes is the best time of day!! & Alex being next to me.
