Day Trippers

Outfit Details: Dress & Hat: Vintage - will be in store//tights & necklace: Modcloth//Shoes: Thrifted

The other week, my good friend Kat (who might I add is one of the most genuine souls I've ever met), and I decided to day trip off to a charming little town called Lewisburg to relish a day full of antique treasures and relics from the days of yore.  It was a full day of eye candy both for the heart and soul and what I wound up with was bags full of vintage dresses with the most delightful little collars.

In the last antique shop we hit, the cutest little old lady, who was one of the vendors there approached me and told me she had something she thought I would love.  Of course I was intrigued.  She went on to  tell me that she had these little silk stockings from the 1950s tucked away where no one could find them and that she was hoping the right person would come along and really appreciate them.  Well, she got me hook, line, and sinker....they surely won my heart and will certainly be treasured.  How could I pass up little silk stockings with embroidered poodles?

Anyhow, twas one loverly day with one loverly gal and lots of loverly vintage darlings.  Hoping there will be plenty more gal-pallin day trips in our future:)

Catch you later,
Love bunches,

Benches and Birdcages

Today I went antiquing.  I can't even begin to tell you how much I love doing this.  It's kind of like a new found love.  Getting lost amongst treasures from a different time and place is so relaxing to me...so much that I couldn't be bothered with snapping photos inside this darling and quite ginormous shop.  It was nice to just slow down for a bit and enjoy the experience.   Anyhow, I managed to walk away with a couple of relics that I will be quite pleased to give a new home.  Both the bench and the birdcage were each $14.00.  Score!

The Finds:

Speaking of things that are as old as dirt: this dress!  Well, that's a tad dramatic, but you know what I mean.  I'm pretty sure I haven't worn it since this post from way back in the day and it was old even then.  As I was organizing my little heart out, getting ready for my move (which hopefully happens at the beginning of next month) I found it in an uncharted pile deep in the corner of my closet.  Hooray for making old things new again.

Wishing you a beautiful weekend!

Love,
