This past month I've felt that I was in a virtual time capsule. And this past month I've also felt really old. As I've walked through my Las Vegas thriftstores and came across things from my childhood or gasp, my 80's teen years. While seeing such items send chills and tingles through me (the good kind), I can't help but wonder what it is that draws me to certain items. Sometimes I see things that I spied in a friend's older sister's room. And other times, it's a piece of jewelry that I imagined a model wearing while she hung out with Duran Duran on The Wild Boys tour.

Be that as it may, below are some January thriftstore finds that I fell in love with and brought home, and others I left for another to get that tingling sensation of a good thiftscore!

Yesterday I had the pleasure of revisiting one of my favorite Las Vegas shops. Before I moved to Las Vegas, I used to research everything I could about the town. And when I finally moved here 12 years ago I was dying to go to Viva Las Vegas Stamps! http://vivalasvegastamps.com/.
VivaLasVegasStamps 1008 Sahara Ave., 89104
I've always had a thing for rubber stamps and this store is the mother of all rubber stamps. Over the years I couldn't always justify a trip to the rubber stamp store, plus, I had quite a collection already. But as luck would have it, I met up with two of my girlfriends and we ended up in right across from it in the parking lot. It was my pleasure to introduce them to this wonderland!
Just a sneak peak at one section (ONE SECTION!) of the store.
Below you will see our purchases from the day.

Allison's haul, Jeff (the owner) threw little flamingos in our bag!
Beth's haul
I really can't say it enough, but if you are a crafter, and are visiting or live in Las Vegas, do yourself a favor and spend some time in the shop. You are guaranteed to leave smiling.
