Valdosta And Vintage...

07 August 2012
It's raining again today in Athens but I'm glad to have it since we desperately need it up here in the Piedmont.  The only downfall from the rain is that my chair restoration project has come to a complete stop.  One can't paint in super humid weather.  I'm not too disappointed though, as the rain definitely has priority over my soon-to-be-super-awesome chairs.  They can wait and so can I!  Right?  Right!

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.

I'm also glad to have great followers/readers/supporters like you.  Thanks for stopping by.  Oh, and big 'hi' to all you new folk!  Welcome, welcome, welcome!
