FOUND.

This weekends haul was filled with a lot of little vintage treasures. My favorite finds were the vintage tea towels. I am starting my own little collection and it is so fun, I guess I kinda have a thing for vintage linens. I also snatch up any buttons, ribbon, lace I find because well, look at them- they're ah-mazing (and I have a problem?). We don't own a stapler yet in our little home, so this one for a whopping seventy five cents will definitely do the trick. Also, old hooks and clip magnets.. I love you. I really enjoy my weekends on the hunt, and spending quality time with the only person I know who loves these vintage treasures as much as me. What are some things you found this weekend?

Better late then never: A trip to Georgia.

Our highlight of 2012 was most definitely our trip to georgia (well besides Our Engagement of course). We took the ten hour trip with our good friends alllll the way to Atlanta. We went for five days, and boy did we make it count. Our first stop, to the Country Living Fair. 

If you've never been- GO. It is so amazing; seriously. You spend the whole time ooh-ing and ahh-ing at everything. It's basically every crafter/thrifter/antiquer/decorators/etc. dream. 

We spent most of the day there oogling, spending money, wishing the things we really wanted weren't twice the amount we had with us, and really just taking it all in. 

It was not cold enough to get all dressed up in cute winter clothes (us FL girls don't get to do that too often) but the fall leaves were a dream. 

The vendors create such fun and magical booths and displays. We took this one over at the The Robin's Nest. Her stuff is so unique. The year before (2011) I bought an amazing vintage quilt. I am still in love with it. After we spent a bulk of our day there, we headed over to Amanda's parents place, which was about and hour away and spent a couple days there, picking our way through Antique/thrift shops. It. was. so. fun.

Next stop was Savannah, GA. If I pack up and move tomorrow, there's a good chance you could find me here [or Portland, OR]. Oh Savannah, iloveyou. We walked, we ate, we shopped, we walked some more, and we didn't want to leave. We were only here for a day, but it was well worth the stop. Oh and this shop- it's love.

We had a great trip and ended it in St. Augustine, FL before we headed home. We can never get enough of it, we're addicted. Can't wait until our 2013 trip- because we are SO doing a repeat of last year.

And here's a fun road trip picture:

A day of thrifting.

Yesterday was a good day. 

It was filled with thrifting, vintage, good food, and good company. We started really early and headed up to one of our favorite spots: Ft.Pierce. There is quite a few really great thrift/antique shops up that way. 

A day of finding treasures is always a day well spent. It's hard to not come back with every cute/awesome/fun thing we find, but I would probably be featured on the show Hoarding: Buried Alive if I did ;] But I did budge on these:

I really like to mix different styles, vintage/industrial/modern/etc. I kind of just go with whatever catches my eye. It was a productive day and we had a lot of fun. Can't wait until our next trip out!
