stamp coasters

Thought these vintage stamp inspired coasters were absolute genius...complete with pinking shears to finish the look! See the tutorial here.

antique shopping

Last week, my sister came to visit and we explored a nearby antique shop. I love to peruse the different rooms filled with pretty much anything imaginable…though it does take some time (and usually several trips!) before finding a treasure worthy enough to bring home. We got a laugh when Megan discovered what seemed like the first pair of “3D glasses” ever invented and I found a poor stuffed dog with a missing ear. In the end, I didn’t find anything I just had to have but I’m sure I’ll be back.

Have you ever found anything amazing from a vintage shop?

starfish earrings

I adore these starfish earrings...the fact that they are vintage clip-ons only make them that much more special...

supermarket sarah

Meet Sarah -- she left her job in the corporate world (presumably in the U.K.) to open up an online shop in her own home. You can find lots of vintage and handmade goodies...and I love the quirky setup of her website - check it out here!

present and correct

I'm a big fan of old fashioned, vintage-inspired stationary and am addicted to this online store: Present and Correct. Run by British graphic designer, Neal Whittington, his store offers other unique gift ideas such as vintage story books or mini-blackboards (which I love!).

P.S. Isn't this just the cutest pen you've ever seen?!
