I would definitely hold onto them, hmmm, maybe for a grandchild one day??!!
Collection Challenge #257- Vintage Child's Toolbox
I have had three vintage child's toolboxes FOREVER as decoration in Ben's room. I was attracted to the graphics of course and they made for a cute decoration in his little boy room. Ben is 23 now and I am done decorating his room. (He has graduated from college, works in engineering, but l...
Oh my gosh, what fun! And, it reminds me of a show that I adore, Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries from Australia. It is set in 1928. You should save your costumes and do a Phrynie Fisher party. You can see it on Netflix ($7 a month version). Worth every penny! It is becoming my friends' newest obsession (has been mine for over a year). So, for your next party, just an idea! This one, fabulous!! Love it!
Serendipi-TEA at The Whitmore Ranch Retreat
(photo by Cassandra) The Downton Abby themed, "Serendipi-Tea" that Stacy Seely hosted for Karen, was filled with beauty. Of course, anything Karen touches is beyond FAB, and Stacy has a lovely setting to throw a party in. The Whitworth Ranch Retreat is cottagey cute, and when it is gussied up...
I soooo agree on the curbside recycle. I live in Yorktown, Virginia, and EVERYTHING great seems to end up in the trash. When I take a load to the dump, I see great things peeping from the dumpsters. Don't tell, but I actually traded my trash for a great piece one time (I will deny this in court). It is ridiculous to fill land, or the ocean, with great vintage stuff. I want to upcycle, people listen!!
New Year Resolutions (but not for me)
I'm taking a tip from my neighbor Eric, who on January 1st offered up new year's resolutions for OTHERS. Because making (and keeping) your own are so tedious and ineffectual. Diet and exercise are sooooo 2012. FLEA MARKET STYLE MAGAZINE: Because you are the best junky decorating magaz...
Just wondering where the estate auction was? I live close to this area, but I have yet to find a company who does estate auctions in the country. Do you mind sharing the name of the auction company? Thanks!!
P.S. I LOVED your Halloween mask, but it had already sold :(!
Estate Sale Adventure: Oh, But the View!
Hello, My Friends!~~~ We were in the Northern Neck of Virginia this weekend and hit an estate sale in the tiny town of Weems on the shore of the Rappahannock River. Just look at this house! A big brick manse on acres of waterfront property. This is part of the acres of yard leading up to the...
Wow, I love their clothes! I am looking for some Katherine Hepburn style pants; maybe, they will do those one day! Would love to own one of their aprons!
Shabby Apple Apron Giveaway
Today I'm offering a giveaway from Shabby Apple, a fabulous website featuring flirty, stylish dresses a woman can wear just as comfortably in the office, at a family dinner, or on a date. Shabby Apple was started because they saw a need in women’s fashion that was not being met. A need to...
I love your blog! I have been faithfully reading it, but somewhere along the way, I missed where your antique booth is located?? We are in Tidewater, Va, headed your way in the near future and would love to visit your space.
Yeah, Like I'm the Only One ...
... who bought 16 of something they have no real use for this weekend. 'Fess up. Please. Back me up! When I saw that the annual local labor day auction was coming around, I only briefly entertained attending. Michelle is out of the country and John didn't want to go. That would mean (g...
I am sooooo jealous of the Spring Clean Out; we have nothing like that in Tidewater, Virginia! As for the one that got away, I bought one of those (similar) at a yard sale. It is so heavy that I almost need a chiropractor! Be happy! Love your blog and your ideas!
Week 2: Slim and Soggy Pickings But Still a Giveaway!
Every week during Spring Cleanup, I pray for good luck and good weather. Week two didn't bring much of either. For starters, the week was cold and rainy, so finding good stuff that wasn't wet or had been wet was a challenge. Plus, the only day that brought any extended sunshine was Frida...
Jessica,
Thanks for sharing this...my two antiquing best-buds came from Japan and Okinawa two years ago to live in the U.S. with their husbands, AND one of them is having family over in June. Sooooo...your post was perfect for a little request that will fit easily in the suitcase!

Japanese Cupcake Decorating Supplies
My husband came back from a recent business trip to Japan with these... Evidently, cake and cupcake decorating is HUGE in Japan, with shops devoting aisle after aisle to just sprinkles and dragees! Who knew? I especially love all the cool packaging. These are sold in tiny packages, for o...
