Oh, What A Beautiful Morning...

Today the weather was fine...

it was a day for being outside...

a day for appreciating the warmth of the sun...

accompanied by the crisp Autumn air...

a day to relax... listen to the birds sing...

marvel at the red and golds of the tree leaves...

buy vintage school lockers...

Finally...

our sweet little Etsy shop is stocked and open for business...

please consider us when shopping for your vintage art supplies

or adding to your vintage treasures

we look forward to seeing you...

Will You Take A Nickel For That?

I am hosting my first ever yard sale in a few weeks.  In preparation so far, I have rummaged through two dresser drawers and one shelf in the hall linen closet. I think I probably need to pick up the pace.  I know on the surface it doesn't seem to make sense... my estate saling every weekend and now selling some of my treasures... for pennies.  But I am determined... I am inspired... I am scared! Because while randomly channel surfing one night, I landed on an episode of Hoarders and have been totally skeeved out ever since... not that my house has descended to that level... yet... but I do have some closets that should only be opened while wearing a hardhat...

One Man's Trash...

You either love vintage...

or you don't...

there is no indifferent in between,

let's just be friends relationship when it comes to vintage goods...

I am one of those vintage LOVE people...

well most vintage...

('60s and '70s... not so much...)

'30s and '40s vintage... come to Momma and cue the violins...

the treasure hunt... the rescue and re-purpose...

life just doesn't get much sweeter.

Where's the Justice...

Not only has this Summer been a steady stream

of hellish temperature and humidity...

but to add insult to injury... I have a cold...

where I picked it up is uncertain...

I myself blame our obviously germ-ridden County courthouse...

No, I haven't slid into a life of crime and decadence... yet, anyway...

I'm serving two weeks' of grand jury hell... uh, civic duty...

so, currently, anything vile... no matter how remote the stretch...

that can be laid at its feet is...

and so... ta dah...

thank you... thank you grand jury for clogging my already overfull schedule...

and my sinuses.

Broken Baker's Dream...

My gorgeous vintage covered cake pedestal...

survived decades of heavy kitchen use...

and a mere three months

of nothing but decorative duty on my counter.
