So much rusty goodness in this old gas pump and the sweet flowers embracing it. There's charm to spare at this fruit stand and a darling little cat that comes up to greet you as you walk in. #roadtrip #adventureswithty #hoodriver #drapergirlsfarm #oldgaspump #flowers #rustygoldSometimes we just get lucky. My mom had just mentioned that we weren't having much luck finding vintage this weekend and we turned a corner and there he was, standing 4ft tall and proud, at the edge of their driveway, away from their newish other stuff for sale. We couldn't get out of the car fast enough. They were thrilled someone wanted him, and they had no idea how thrilled we were! He'll be a wonderful feature in our vintage Christmas vignette at the fall show. #pickingfinds #vintageblowmold #santa #brookhavenvintagemarketplace #vintagechristmas #serendipity #theirsalehadbeenopen3hoursandhewasstillthereTopics

Climbing the Walls in Billings, Montana
Yes, I admit it. I climbed the walls. But it was only to fetch down these darling vintage hats that were just out of reach. Some talented volunteer at this particular thrift shop in Billings, Montana had created a lovely … Continue reading
