New Clock
Sometimes you have to go back to an estate sale, because there is something there that you can’t stop thinking about. Luckily for me, this pretty guy was still waiting for me to take him home from the epic 60s estate sale–and he was an extra 20% off. Now I just need to figure out [...]
Some Finds
Today was an epic estate sale-ing day. I went to two sales, the first far better than the second. The first was over 30 minutes away, and I wanted to get there first thing because I saw a picture of a Gemma Taccogna pin cushion, and I was determined to make her mine. Well, when [...]
Some Recent Finds
Lately I have been checking Craigslist every morning for estate sales. This morning I was beyond delighted when I learned of a monthly antiques and collectibles show going on just a few miles from my home. How have I not heard of this before? It wasn’t a very big show, but there were definitely some [...]

A Day Out
Lucy turned one last Friday. I had been wanting to have a post up about her special day, but quite honestly the words have not come to me yet. Saturday we had a party to celebrate this little lady. There will be a post up about that later in the week. Sunday we were all [...]

Yesterday’s thrift finds. 1. Two platters. First unmarked (anyone know what it is?), second Franciscan Starburst 2. Vintage 60′s dress 3. Globe! I must say, I have had quite a bit of lucky at the thrift store lately. The night before last I was browsing etsy and ebay looking at the starburst pattern, feeling sorry [...]
What I Wore
Dress: Bubblepipe Vintage Shoes: Thrifted Bakelite: Flashbacks, San Diego & WoldHeart I am obsessed with this dress. I showed it to Russ before I bought it and he said, “don’t you have one like that?”, and I kind of do–but not exactly. So what if I have a closet full of dresses that look pretty [...]
Some new Heywood Wakefield
I have been known to get messages from the thrift stores. I don’t know how to describe it other than a strong urge or pull to go to one particular store, where I always score big. These differ from my casual, eh, I feel like perusing a bunch of junk, because they are intense and [...]
