Turquoise Corner

I love this little turquoise chair and thought you would, too.

I picked it up randomly last fall from an antique booth at MaDee’s Market.

(If you’re interested in being a vendor at the market this fall, get more info. here. It’s a great cause!)

The awesome color and very attractive price tag caught my eye as I was literally walking out the door and I’m so glad I stopped to get it! Turquoise is my favorite color and I’ve enjoyed collecting bits and pieces in that shade to sprinkle around the house over the years.

I (more like my husband) didn’t think we had room for one.more.thing. but now that I put my cute little chair in this corner of our living room, I can’t imagine it NOT being there.

I’m really liking how it covers those unsightly cords.

It used to bother me that the color of the chair is not the exact same as the dresser, but I’m starting to embrace the ability to mix multiple shades of the same color rather than be too “matchy-matchy.”

What do you think?

Beautiful Find

One of the things I love most about living in this area is that I can walk into an antique store in Downtown Staunton at any given time and find something as beautiful as this vintage, hand- tooled, leather purse:
On 
Look, it even opens  up to this hidden treasure on the inside!
And it has the perfect length strap for sleek, ergonomic carrying ease.
And, all for $20!! Yes, $20! 
Take that, New York City, where I bought the first of my collection for the ridiculous amount of  $45.

If you haven’t heard, I have a bit of an obsession with these guys.  I’ll try to do a blog showcase of the collection in its entirety sometime soon.

My friend, KB, knows about my unhealthy love for these purses and even though she saw this one first, and could have thus claimed it, according to my shopping by-laws, she let me have it. Thank you, KB, I owe ya one!

In my eyes it is a true work of art and of my most beautiful finds.

Antique Baby Carriage


Check out this beautiful antique baby carriage Phoebe and Bob found in PA. It was originally manufactured in NYC in 1961 and is in excellent condition. I can’t wait to see it in person and push Baby Halterman around the neighborhood.
