introducing vintage housewares




When I first began selling vintage on Etsy almost 7 years ago, I was single, unsettled and pretty much was obsessed with collecting and selling vintage. These days, my life is different in every way compared to what it once was. I'm now married, with a three year old son, currently pregnant (due in June) and needless to say I have an abundance amount of housework, craft projects and appointments to keep up with, which sometimes result in M.H. taking a backseat. Now, I understand that this is no way to run a 'business' and each day I truly try to muster the energy required to put the necessary work in. The truth of the matter is, I'm a 'one woman show' and I really shouldn't spread myself thin nor should I stress over completing my never-ending To-Do list. 

For the past few years, I've spent less time at thrift stores and more time in the kitchen, baking, cooking and tidying up. The kitchen has become my haven. A place where I can unwind, drinking a glass of wine while stirring a pot of homemade marinara sauce or create something new and delicious by testing a cake recipe. So, when I thought to introduce a few vintage houseware items to the shop, it wasn't farfetch in my opinion. I love shopping for rustic, pre-owned home goods in addition to beautiful antique jewelry and the occasional vintage formal gown. Just as my life is ever evolving, I think it's important to evolve Mod Human too. I hope you like my new finds for the shop, and even more to make a purchase and give these wonderful treasures a new home.

shop update: collection 2

orange satin evening bag

emerald green necklace

50s white evening bag

navajo southwestern earrings jewelry

40s black beaded purse bag

Collection 2 is now available in the vintage shop. I'm satisfied with the growth of new inventory I've collected over the past week and super excited to share my discoveries with you. In other news, I'm happy it's officially Autumn and the cooler weather has taken it's rightful place here in the south. Knitting, drinking Earl Gray and collecting vintage consumes a chunk of my spare time, the other portion is consumed by mommy/wife duties. Therefore, I hope it's not too long until there's another vintage update.

shopping list:
vintage autumn copper evening bag
emerald green necklace 
beaded envelope evening clutch
sterling silver earrings

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! ...

Vintage Preview




I have so many wonderful things waiting to be added to the shop. On my latest shopping trip, I lucked up upon so many oversize tapestry handbags and two perfect dresses for the spring. As a new mother, time these days are pretty limited and I have to find random moments to sneak in vintage shopping and photographing... I hear the early months of motherhood are the most difficult and time consuming... so bear with me my good friends as I continue to support your vintage needs :) My new plan for Mod Human is to update the shop every Monday with 'brand new' vintage finds. These gems photographed above will be included in my next shop update 3/5 (Monday) ... stay tune

lady bags





This past Monday I've returned from the hospital with a baby boy :) The labor was very long and thankfully I stayed strong and stuck with my decision of having a natural birth (no medicine)... After never ending pushes, Jared was born 8 pounds and 6 ounces. Let me just note, that's 'a lot' of baby for a petite individual like myself. It's amazing to not only be the wife of my beloved 'mr. rugged' but to now be a new mommy to our little tot. Life has certainly welcomed me into a brand new chapter this year.

Mod Human news... here are a few gorgeous lady-like purses which were added to the shop a few days ago.
If you have not already, go ahead and take a peek :)
Also, I've decided to run the 15% off sale for another day.

shop update & a train wreck pie






Just in case you lovely readers did not know, I've added a few new products to the shop.
Also, today I will be working on adding additional merchandise to my official web site :)
.....
I baked an apple pie last night, and although this is technically only the 3rd apple pie I've ever baked, this one for some reason was a complete failure. I'm not quite sure what went wrong but the bottom crust total evaporated and/or turned into mush. Very disappointing, since it was something I've been craving for a while. My husband, Mr. Rugged said that it taste fine and reminds him of a cobbler of some sort, but I'm not buying it!
