old house sunday drive-by

sunshiney back road sunday drive. i stuck my head out the moon roof to take some pictures. old house. click to see it big.

hi bye

On my way to hopefully see "coco before chanel". I gotta see it and stop talking about it. And here's my little fashion post...I like clothes. But I haven't done a lot of clothes shopping these past several years. I did, however, go to Marshalls with my 17 yr old daughter recently and now I keep thinking about clothes. Not that I didn't think about it before in the "I like clothes but don't have any and wish I had better stuff" way. I bought this jacket there. The hat is (well, was) my daughter's. She bought it for a dollar at the mall. I generally think I look like a major doofus in hats but whaddya think about this one? Not bad, right? I really hate the mall. But I gotta admit, I'm a wanting to go back to Marshalls. The scarf is from http://www.uniform-studio.com/index.html.
OK, that paragraph was not genius writing, but I gotta get out of here and get to the movies.
See ya!

shopping for old

The day started off rainy but cleared up before lunch. I went to a spot I don't go to frequently (rte. 4 in northwood nh) for vintage because it requires a good amount of driving from one shop to another and I don't always have luck but today was an ok day. I was really looking for fabric and that was a bit of a bust. I did however, get a huge lot of old burlap bags. I will need to put some time and effort into cleaning and inspecting but I have a little idea in my head for them. I'm wanting to combine unlikely materials like burlap, velvet, lace trim. We'll see...

I also got a few things for my house. I like the contrast of the white hobnail milk glass with the dark calico shade, the hand-braided rug was a steal and I like the subdued colors. The little tea-strainers I got because I liked the designs and I was thinking that might be a fun thing to collect and hang in a group on the wall. Last, the money bags need a good washing but I think they will make awesome lavender or balsam pillows. The patches? I love patches. Bring 'em on.

a very favorite
