Vintage Style for the Home

This week I’m excited to share the pieces I’ve found in Michele Wesdock’s shop Emma & Jean Studio. You can read interview with Michele Wesdock here.

The very first treasure is this pretty street scene. It been on the sun-porch, our loo and now its on the wall in the principal bedroom. I adore it!

The foo dog soapstone box… I mean come on friends… it’s a box - it’s a foo dog! It’s so unusual. The incredible large wedding scene crock was a birthday gift. It’s massive and I usual hold flowers in there - although currently it houses some wine corks! My Federal Mirror - which was me - going nutty rushing to be the one to purchase it. I love it laying on my shells from summer 2021. The paper mache’ animal boxes - I am obsessed with tigers and i loved the colors of the bunny and antelope box.

This flat-lay is all about the Turtle Shell and this is when my friendship with Michele stepped in - I was purchasing the paper mache’ boxes and asked if she could keep her eye open for a small turtle shell. I was in luck Michele had one and here it is!

My most recent purchase this Danish box - I have an affinity for knights and I was a total pain in the arse until I was able to get this in my shopping bag!

You can see the variety of items Michele sells - I am a big lover of boxes! I suggest you pop over to her shop Emma and Jean Studio and find a treasure or two for yourself!

Til next time friends be well!

Favorite Thrifting Haunts

As more and more people are vaccinated and the world is opening back up - I thought today I’d share my favorite brick and mortar Thrifting spots. My family loves nothing more than planning a thrifting trip with a lovely dinner. We hope to get back to it on a regular basis soon but, life and my son’s sports schedule is a tough work around. We always thrift without fail - on our way to Vermont skiing every February, at the beach every summer and Thanksgiving weekend.
