{ hello, sunshine! }

Once there was a sad little coffee table that had seen better days. And then I painted her yellow and gave her a cushion and a pretty chevron outfit. And she was destined for the shop! But I kind of love her. And she might have to stay here. The... Continue reading

{ the henredon chair }

Oh this little chair. I found her at a thrift store this summer. She was gorgeous. Fabulous lines, gorgeous fabric. A deliciously plump down cushion. Worn, faded, and a little stained, yes, but truly a beautiful piece of furniture. Without hesitation, I had her loaded into the back of my... Continue reading

{ hazards of the job & my assistant is not camera shy }

What a weekend! The store looked beautiful, hinting at Valentine's Day with touches of pink and red everywhere. Friday was horrifically cold -- it was 4 degrees outside and it was near impossible to keep that cold at bay. But our customers -- our awesome customers -- were out and... Continue reading

{ shop sneak peeks } + work in progress

I worked all day in the store yesterday, setting up my little booth space and adding touches of Love. It is our February 'Valentine's Day' event weekend, after all! Our shop owner, Kelly, went around taking tons of photos of the store. Here are a couple from my space. Those... Continue reading

Every First Friday shop has a different policy about setting up. In our store, you have to have your booth set up by the end of the day on Tuesday before the Friday opening. That means today I am getting a whole bunch of small treasures cleaned up and tagged... Continue reading

{ patina love }

One thing that I hear a lot when I'm working in the store is, 'I love this, but I'm not sure how I'd use it... ' I'm a firm believer that if you are drawn to certain lovely things, you can find a place for them in your life. Silver... Continue reading

{ october weekend wrap-up }

It was another fantastic and fun weekend. I practically sold out (!!), which is amazing. Most of my favorite goodies are off to new homes... The foyer space of the shop is one of my favorite spots to decorate. It has magical powers, I swear. Not only does it show... Continue reading

One of the fantastic things about the being immersed in this vintage resale community is the access I have to other vendors and their cool stuff. Like this pretty little Admiral stereo console. She had been at one of our... Continue reading

So many exciting things going on with the shop these days. I am still trying to get used to my new weekly routine. Between school and preschool, I have three days a week where the girls are otherwise engaged and you'll find me treasure hunting and working… which sounds like... Continue reading

{ chugging along }

I'm 5 days out from our third weekend event. I feel like I'm picking up on a rhythm, figuring out what works for our customers, in my space and with my time constraints. It's a delicate balance some days. Last month was one for the books. It was 105 degrees... Continue reading

Once upon a time, there was a girl knew at a very early age that she loved all things vintage. In elementary school, when her friends were practicing bubble letters and drawing rainbows, she was trying to draw vintage gowns and sew dresses for her dolls. Or make furniture out... Continue reading
