Lookit! I made a blog!

Hooray me!

I've been thinking about starting a blog for quite a while now, but I couldn't really figure out WHY. I mean, I'm as much of a compulsive self-discloser as the next guy, but I felt like I had to have a theme or some sort of purpose in order to start a blog. I suppose I could subject folks to meaningless e-blather about the minutiae of my life, but then I realized that even I wouldn't want to read that.

So finally, after years (yes, years - judge not lest I call you a jerk ...) of pondering, I finally figured it out: I'm really good at finding things. If you don't know me personally, that may not make a lot of sense, but I promise you, there is an awesome-magnet planted within my brain. No matter where I go, I am destined to stumble across something that is unique and fabulous and life-enhancing in some way or another. Also, it's usually free or extremely cheap. I like to attribute this to a combination of luck, an open mind, and a mild obsession with re-creating & re-purposing. This blog is where I'll share my thrift store finds, books & movies I discover at the library, and maybe even some suggestively-shaped driftwood I dredged up from the beach.

And so, without further ado, I welcome you to tUftd's foundlings! Have a look at this amazing dress I found yesterday!

It's very church lady chic, which amuses me to no end because I'm about as un-church lady as it gets. I plan to wear this little number with whitish/grayish Victorian-style booties (also foundlings) and a diaphanous aqua scarf.

I love that word so much I need to write it again: diaphanous. *shiver*
