Day 331: Little hobo

On the way home from work (and on the way to the first night of Connecticut Lindy Exchange!), I thought I'd stop in at the vintage store (see Day 171) just to see if there was anything I might want to get for the weekend. I found a cute summer blouse for only $6, and it was presented to me in this little bundle on a stick. I was thrilled and carried it home on my shoulder. On our way out of another shop, a guy asked, 'Running away from home?' Hee!

Day 285: New chairs

We have been scouring Craigslist for furniture and finally found two vintage chairs. A girl who just moved in right down the street had posted them for sale and we walked over and decided to take them home with us. I love them! Not sure where exactly they will go, but I think they will fit in somewhere.

Day 214: Typewriter on the curb

I went for a long walk into town today and on my way back, I saw this typewriter out on the curb in front of one of the neighbors' houses. This house is in the process of being sold and so the current owners are getting rid of all kinds of things all the time. So far I've seen some bookcases, tables, chairs, and cabinets. This was the first thing I thought about taking! I'm sure the father and daughter who were in the yard next door were wondering what I was doing taking a photo of the thing.

Day 177: Typewriter at the Omni

I was meant to go to dinner but flaked out because the weather was miserable and all I wanted to do was get home and warm up. I did stop over at the Omni Hotel, which is where we were meant to leave from, and while I was there I saw this little display of antiques which was meant to advertise a store in the area. They had this adorable old typewriter; I want it!

Day 171: Another cool thing about my office

There's a lovely little vintage store right down the street. I've only been in once, but it looks like it has some good pieces. I nearly bought a gorgeous coat but the last thing I need is yet ANOTHER vintage winter coat. Amazingly enough I restrained myself.

Day 151: Vintage mirror

The arrival of my things from the UK inspired me to finally start hanging things on the walls. I bought this mirror from an antique shop long back in September, but it's been sitting on the floor all this time. Until today! This is in my bedroom.
