and what kind of person uses "antique" as a verb?
well, at the ripe ol' age of, um, 30-something - i do! it's been fun planning for this new house because i have always wanted a home where people just wander about gaping at all of the cool ephemera and artwork.
to that end, i have taken to attending estate auctions, antique faires and making trips up to sebastopol for all of the great "vintage" shops up there.
here are a few of my recent finds... stay turned for more!
the prettiest lamp in the world - from one of the stalls at the sebastopol antiques collective
i got this for 20 bucks at the monthly clars auction house auction! can you believe it?
Perhaps we can call your style 'shabby vintage quirky chic'? ;)
ReplyDeletemost of my friends cut to the chase and just say "weird". but i like your description better. :)
ReplyDeleteI know I read this post when it was fresh but it seems I forgot to comment. Those hands are my FAVE. L.O.V.E. LOVE them. And the cocktail rings they hold are pretty fabulous too. I think we might have similar styles.
