Speaking of rain, remember how I said the other day that I was dreaming of fall? Well, it is obviously dreaming of me too. It found its way to me when I was gifted with some excellent vintage goods this weekend...all in a fall theme. Yes!
I cannot wait to drink some hot cider out of these 1982 era tumblers!
My camera bag search is over. This was still in wrapping paper! Mint. YES! Love my high tech backdrop? Ha!
An old holiday tin holds a plethora of mint condition buttons!
I'm going to dress up some basic cardigans with these lovely earth tone ones...
Did you know that jet is formed from a compression of wood and salt water? Amazing stuff.
Spooky font, stories and pictures about Savannah, GA bring an early Halloween feeling...
Did I squeal when I saw this coat? Um, does this southern lady like her sweet tea? Heck yeah!
This is only a small bit of what I was lucky to have handed to me by my good friends during their move(s) and subsequent cleanup. I also found a vintage butter dish, a drum kit for Brady (argh! my ears!) and a few other odds-and-ends that aren't pictured. They'll be gathered on the next trip.
I'm very glad I got up at 6am on Saturday to drive to Valdosta to help a bit and to spend some quality time with my favorite folks. There was laughing and reminiscing, like when I was at Brady's folks, but this time with a healthy dose of tears too. It was a bit overwhelming to know how much has changed for everyone in the last few months. We are starting to be blown to the winds like dandelion seeds. I hope we can take root and grow strong and tall and resilient and determined but, damn it, I'm going to miss my friends like crazy. But I'm glad I have so many people in my life that mean so much to me. So glad.

How lucky are you?! I want that camera bag, but more of in a backpack style. And of course I'm in love with the book of spectres!!!
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to have to go to the library to check out all of the haunted books. There's so many and I don't know which ones would be good!!
I love the coat but wish it were a different color!

Wow jet buttons! They did things differently in those days :)
ReplyDeleteButtons, buttons, buttons ♥♥
ReplyDeleteThe camera bag is gorgeous, and is like some I've been desperately trying to find. Love the buttons, share what you do with them!
ReplyDeleteI'll definitely share my button crafts! My friend Adam is coming today and we are going thrifting for a few things. Him - a new tweed jacket and some artwork. Me - cardigans and sweaters (getting ready for the cooler weather that starts here in a month or so...yes!) and some fabrics.
ReplyDeleteOh, what do you all think of stenciling my initials (small) on the camera bag? Or is it better plain? I kind of hate to do anything to it while it is still in such excellent condition but I know it'll get roughed up quick. Thoughts? Suggestions?
These are ALL so awesome!!!! Lucky Lady!
