Antique Mirror

So I tweeted last week that I was on the hunt for a full-length mirror -- I got several recommendations and was nearly persuaded to go for the ikea hovet when I stumbled across this beauty. There is an amazing antique shop right near our apartment and as we were browsing last week I ran across this barn-wood mirror that was perfect. It was a splurge but definitely worth it!

tractordog

My friend and creative darling, Kelsey, opened up an etsy shop selling vintage, re-purposed clothing. "Tractordog finds old throwbacks and makes them exciting again. We peruse thrift stores, random granny houses, estate sales, and go deep into the crazy world of eBay to find the best of the past. Fix em, scrub em, style em up...and offer them to you!" 

She's also the blonde bombshell modeling the ensembles...gorgeous.

Vintage Spools

Doesn't this description sound lovely, "Lot of 30 Vintage Wooden Thread Spools." Not exactly sure what you could do with such a prize, but isn't this a great find?!

Flickr Group: Vintage Mugs

I've mentioned before I can't help but thrift store shop for dishes..plates..mugs..tea pots..bowls..I don't discriminate. So when I was trying to decide what flickr group to profile this week I was instantly drawn to the one entitled "Vintage Mugs."
