The Round Up


 Luckily, this morning's estate sale was in my neighborhood, so without hesitation I made apple waffles for my husband and I, threw on my 50's halter dress and ventured out for the hunt. There were a bunch of old men's clothing, and lot's of glassware... neither things I want or need, however I did manage to find a few trinkets (the bright mixing bowl, beads, etc above) 
The pin cushion is my favorite, especially since I never replaced my old tomato one which was lost months ago...and I have a soft spot for retro Pyrex bowls soooo for 3 bucks, I had to grab it. 
Hope your having a special Thursday! ...

macon trip...

 


Saturday was perfect! Mom and I decided to take a mini day trip to Macon, Ga...and spent the entire day antiquing and enjoying the pleasant mid 60's, sunny weather. Macon is just 1 hr south of Atlanta, Ga and it's full of country roads, beautiful homes, and tiny little antique shops. For lunch we had Steak and Shake...the chocolate milkshake were soooo' good. I found a lot of beautiful inventory for the store and I hope to have everything listed within the next few days...
I will post photos of the all the cute merchandise in the next post...

picture day...

 
  
  

I am over my head in merchandise that need to be photographed...and I have yet to eat breakfast nor lunch...maybe I will make myself a loaded bake potato before I start photographing these gorgeous items...are you excited yet? Because I am...I can't wait to see how pretty everything looks in the shop when I'm done.

please take a seat...

Lately I have developed a deep love for beautiful furniture. Although I prefer not to spend too much on a single piece, I do love the thrill of buying gently used antique pieces and might I add, there is nothing like a good 'fix-er-upper.' I purchased a perfect little antique 1960s dresser to compliment my vintage bedroom set...I'm thinking about painting it black to match my desk...

mint vintage...



A-lot of the new inventory added to the shop are estate finds that have never been worn...100 % mint condition....how exciting is that!?!

tick-tock...



I simply cannot believe that tomorrow is Thursday ALREADY!  Where has the time gone? However, I can say that I am very pleased with my work ethic (today)...I added a ton of vintage handbags to the shop...and yet still managed to go out for lunch with mom & sis! Before heading back home, I made a pit stop at Office Depot to stock up on a few office supplies and labels for the shop..
Yes, I guess it's safe to say I am very sleepy and think I'll end this night with a nice glass of wine and sleep sweet dreams...

It's been a long time coming...I just wrapped up the last 10 hours of my life, loading all of the lovely vintage into the shop. The powder blue train case and cardigan, were actually two items I originally thought about keeping for myself...But somehow I ended up adding them to the store anyway!
Oh well...my loss is your gain!

Satchels and Mini Messengers




I just listed two handbags in the shop.
One is a 1970s Capezio...which has a doctor satchel shape and removable shoulder strap. The other handbag is a gorgeous slate grey leather, mini messenger...which can be worn across the body. Both handbags are superb and are perfect for everyday wear and the Fall months to come.

Tonight I went to my Physiological Psychology class :)
Very interesting and super fun...I love studying the brain.
Also, last night I loaded a bunch of vintage to the shop! Retro Samsonite weekend bags, Salvatore Ferragamo shoes and a groovy alarm clock...etc.

Adore Vintage Gucci

I was in Locust Grove, GA last weekend and found the most incredible, impeccable and timeless handbag ever!
It's a vintage 1960s Gucci purse...which also converts into a clutch!
This particular bag is made of gorgeous, smooth camel leather with a long gold chain strap.
Oversized envelope shape that will look amazing added to any wardrobe.
Also very similar to the newer Gucci 'Safari' look...
