Vintagey Goodness~



My daughter and I took a two day whirl wind trip to see my friend, Amy, and do some power shopping.  We were on a quest for a dress for an upcoming event.  We also wanted to go to Ikea and Anthropologie.  We made a stop on the way home at one of my favorite stores "The Potting Shed" and found this vintage necklace and purse to go with her new dress.



I keep meaning to ask the owner why she named the store what she did.  It really is a vintage and reproduction wonderland.  It has everything you could ever think of and all in aqua, pink, red and yellow.  I told her that if I could only go to one store for the rest of my life, this would be it!  The reproduction vintage valentine book has 48 valentines in it and was only $5.99.


This beautiful garland is also reproduction.  At only $12.99, it will be beautiful on my Easter tree.  It was a fun trip.  What have you been up to?


Blessings,

  10. I love your "vintage" finds. I always say, if I had to move a long distance and had to part with some things....every thing I would keep would be the things that I have found at flea markets and estate sales!!!!!
