Thrifting...I die

I went thrifting with a friend of mine the other day and bought (quite possibly) my favorite thing ever!
I did spend a little more on them than I normally would but for something as unique as they are, I couldn't help myself!

Okay so brace yourself.....

 

I know right?

I love them! They are hand-carved and amazing. I need to go buy some candles for them so I can see them in all their glory. 

I think I need to name them but I am not sure.

I also got this little jewel.  

It was made in England and I love it.

My mother has a tin in her kitchen where she collects recipes that she cuts out of magazines or that are written on small cards. I think that is what I am going to use this one for. 


 

 All in all a good thrifting day

2011...Here we go!

Well it is a cold day here in Colorado, -14 right now but weather.com says it feels like -41...I'll take their word for it since I have no plans whatsoever to even look outside for fear of frostbite (and now I am going to turn up the heat b/c just thinking about it has made a very cold!)

Anyway with my work done for the day I though it would be a good time to post The Beswick 2011 Must Do List...so we are a month late...big deal :)

So here they are, in no particular order:  

Hike to the top of Pike's Peak - Read a new book every month - Climb the Incline - Buy a House - Go on a camping trip just for fun - Cook a new recipe out of one of my many cookbooks twice a month - Blog more (just for you Jon!) - Visit a place we've never been - Save more, Spend less - Run the Boulder Boulder in May - Learn to do something new

So that's it. Our 2011 goals. Not very exciting but just exciting enough for me to want to do them.

Here's what Benjamin has to add to the list:

Go to the annual Team X Retreat in February - Blog more - Keep my beard until the Spring - Read more - Have dinner with Elbowz and Emmers - Hug more - Canoe trip with Leggs - Lift 800 pounds over my head

Hope you all had a Merry Holiday Season and Best Wishes for the New Year!
