vintage enamelware

So envious of Lisa Congdon's enamelware collection!



I actually have a tiny orange coffee pot, similar to the one in the picture above, that I bought at a garage sale for ten cents. It's really too small to use for anything other than warming up some milk for your coffee, or melting some butter, but it's too cute to let go!

new (to me) shops

I feel like I'm always coming across the same online vintage shops. And while I never tire of them (how can I? They're constantly thrifting and listing amazing finds!), I enjoy finding other lovely stores out there.

thrifting in the new year

I haven't gone thrifting in so long! I wonder if my local thrift stores will have lots of goodies this week. After all, don't we all clean up our places a bit before/after the holidays and get rid of a lot of things to make way for our overambitious new year's resolutions? I know I did!

A couple of things I'm going to be on the lookout for this year:
- A nice, wooden, dining table. I'd love one with lots of character.
- A folksy rug. Maybe one with a Navajo pattern? Or a Kilim rug?
- Interesting artwork. I realized that I had a couple of things to hang up, but not enough to make a nice-looking cluster in the living room.



Okay, I just realized that my list above is a new year's-resolutions-shopping-list!

new year, new start

Whoops, I totally broke my promise! What can I say? I overestimated the time I'd have to post the past week. My hubby was off for the week and we had so much to do between running errands and family gatherings.

I hope everyone had a great start to the new year, may it be filled with lots of joy, happiness, and success for all!
