diner dining

Saturday morning Mr. Rugged and I made our way to Huntsville, Alabama over the weekend.

We opt for the scenic route and took in beautiful landscapes like the sunflower field above...the view was so gorgeous that we decided to pull over and take pictures...shortly after we enjoyed waffles for breakfast.

weekend trip...

Headed to Tybee Island for the weekend. We are leaving early Saturday morning and will return late Sunday evening...I hope to take plenty of photographs, enjoy long naps on the beach and drink plenty mimosas.
See you on Monday

random weekend...

This past weekend was laid back...with perfect weather and the company of good friends/family, I took it easy and enjoyed the ability to just relax. There were numerous events happening around Atlanta over the weekend such as The Dogwood festival, (which I would of loved to have attended) however the thought of sitting in traffic for hours quickly erased that event off the list :)
Above are some items that were added to the shop over the weekend! I'm actually very surprise at how much work I was able to complete...Hopefully there will be more handbags added throughout the day :)

p.s.
Karen (little sister) will be returning home this evening from her 6month Australia trip!
I'm very excited to head to the airport to pick her up...am I the only one who actually gets extremely happy visiting airports???  ;)

tapestry markdowns...

Many of the Tapestry Handbags have been marked down 25-50% off in the shop...please visit to view more.
On another note: I had a nice, long weekend...enjoying the majority of my time at the beach on Amelia Island. The weather was perfect and the island's beaches were beautiful and quite. This was my first time visiting and I'm already planning my next stay in the 'hopeful' near future.
Photographs of the trip are to come...check in the next blog post.

eyewear...

A batch of eye wear has been added to the shop.
It's now officially hot in Atlanta and I'm loving every moment of it...I did some spring shopping on Wednesday with mom & grandma...I found a few dresses and a new purfume scent (which I happily wore today)
I got invited to attend a charity ball dinner on Saturday evening...and sadly I still haven't figured out what to wear...maybe a pretty long maxi dress...perhaps

post valentines weekend...

 

What a long, relaxing weekend...in the mist of Valentines day, President's day and every other normal day, I spent time drinking herbal tea, eating chocolate and watching old movies. On Sunday, I drove to the antique capital of the south...Chamblee, Ga. It's a small, southern charming town located just north of Atlanta. It was nice browsing the 20,000 sq ft mall, however I was slightly disappointed that the other 14 antique shops were unfortunately closed on Sunday's....but at least I did find some lovely goodies for myself!

I also added a few gorgeous wicker handbags and a snakeskin purse to the store last night...they are beyond rare and unique! I was very tempted on keeping all 3 for myself, especially the red one but I figured someone else could give 'her' a better home.

As for the white handbags, they should be in the shop by this evening.

How did you spend your Valentines weekend?

rainy weekend update...

 

 

 

This weekend has been filled with big drops of rain, gray clouds and loud thunderstorms....I love these kind of days, because I am able to get cozy in my home office with a cup of tea and load new vintage items into the shop.  I think I do my best work on 'rainy days'...what do you like to do when it's gloomy outside?

j. crew treats...

After a long weekend, I started the week off to a great start... I'm talking about shopping! I woke up rather early and made myself a simple, healthy breakfast before heading down to Locust Grove Shopping Outlet. My first stop was inside my favorite store of all time: J. Crew! I was happy to be the first and only customer inside the shop...that way, I was able to take my time and browse the selection without any interference. (Yes friends, I am an early bird shopper!)

I also made friends with a very nice associate, which gave me a quick preview of some of the lovely spring/summer things to come....

I finally wrapped up my selection with a pretty scoop- neck artist Tee, enamel bangels and a gorgeous jewel necklace...It always feels good to treat yourself to something special :)

What do you like to treat yourself to?

1960s Twiggy Weekend Bag

Aren't these two lovely luggage pieces PERFECT for a weekend getaway or overnight trip!?!
The train case is in mint condition, including the original pamphlet and keys...while the weekend bag has a distressed worn look...I'm sure this bag has seen the world!

Vintage 1960s Mary Jane Saddle Bag

Vintage 1960s Twiggy Weekend Suitcase Set

Vintage 1960s Jane Birkin Car Coat

Vintage 1940s Katherine Hepburn Coat

6 vintage bags...

Currently I'm back home in Atlanta for the holidays, and yet again I am already missing the warm Miami weather. People who have never visit to Atlanta, usually never imagine just how cold it actually becomes here.
This morning I noticed that waking up in the winter is much more difficult when freezing temperatures are involved. I kept telling myself 'I'll just sleep for another 5 minuets which eventually turned into another 45 minutes...' before I finally rolled out of bed...
After finishing a small cup of joe, while in between adding additional vintage handbags to the shop, I met up with my mother and younger sis for pancakes...which were fantastic!
Tonight is 'girls night out' and I regret not having the appropriate winter gear to keep warm...For the 1st time I'm actually looking forward to purchasing a new scarf-glove-hat set.
I'm thinking CASHMERE... :)

p.s. .....Have a lovely weekend friends!

Weekend Treat

image by D Sharon Pruitt

I have decided not to head out of town for the Labor Day weekend this year. Instead, I plan to hang around the house and work on my fine art photography and furniture store. Also, Pinback (indie rock band)...is having a concert next month and I plan on purchasing a set of tickets tomorrow afternoon. FYI: Pinback is a very special, favorite band of mine...as a matter of fact, those guys are who I gain a great deal of inspiration from- while working on the businesses. If you have not heard of them, I hope that you get the chance to check em' out. As for Mod news....I am offering FREE SHIPPING for all orders $50.00 and over! This will last for the next couple of days, and will end on Tuesday/ September 8. This is a great time to take advantage of stocking up on a few goodies, without the hassle of shipping fees :)

Summer Stripes

The weekend flew by very fast....and once again it's Monday. I spent the last couple of days eating, watching re-runs of NYC Prep and oh...I purchased a lovely dress at American Eagle. I actually haven't shop at AE in a while and was very excited to see that they were having a sale...in which I found my new dress for under $20.00 bucks!

Saturday Morning Scout...

I hope everyone weekend is off to a wonderful start! Mine is surely going well. Today my mom and I managed to venture off to this huge estate sale in Atlanta, Georgia...earlier this morning.

It was absolutely F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S! There were items consisting of the 1920s era to the earlier 1970s. This particular lady, who hosted this private event, has collected tons of alligator handbags, eel skin clutches, Italian made shoes, marvelous designer wallets and hand beaded cardigans from as early as the 1920s! It was definitely an event any fashion lover would have enjoyed...but no worries...Mod Human will be adding the fabulous pieces we scored, to the shop over the next few days.

Above photos are a 'preview' of the goodies to come :)

Lazy Sunday Afternoon...

It's a gloomy day on this side of the world...a great day to wrap up in a cozy blanket and watch movies....I'm thinking of checking out the Knowing...I heard it's pretty good..

Well, I just added another Mod Human favorite to the shop..in honor of 'gloomy days.' It's a 1970s Jordache Rain Coat! Very comfy, cozy and cute :) This one takes be back to my childhood...

Saturday Charms...

Good morning!

I just finished a yummy vanilla latte from Starbucks and now I'm off to complete my Saturday morning rituals...

Here are a few more handbags just added to the shop...hope you like!
