i've been meaning to do an outfit photo all week but it's been so crazy and i keep missing daylight. the sun goes down at 4:30 ftw?? anyway so here are some old photos i never got around to blogging- my dad runs a reused building material and home furnishings store outside of DC, and blah blah they got a new antique section and suddenly i became way more interested. these are a couple snaps i took when i visited this summer:
i loved all the little vintage tins
they didn't have quite all the letters i needed...
the guy who runs the antique area up noticed i was poking around all the old tins and he let me take one home! this is what i picked:
a little home for my nail polishes and extra buttons
I keep my makeup in an old wafer tin:) I would love to poke around that store for hours.
ReplyDeleteSo amazing, woa.
ReplyDeleteI never used to be interested in antiques, but I think they're just fascinating nowadays. I love perusing thrift stores and looking at all the old tins.
ReplyDelete!! I lived right around the corner from Community Forklift all last year, and am now kicking myself for never checking it out. Well, I know what I'm doing tomorrow!
ReplyDeletewhere is this located exactly? I'd love to stop by, looks amazing

ReplyDeleteawesome.
Nice pics, antiques are so interesting, I remember being fascinated looking at all the stalls in Paris.
ReplyDeletewhat an amazing looking place
ReplyDeleteAmazing place! I'd be in there EVERY DAY if I could. I feel you about the outfit posts thing too - it does my head in because I'm out all day and by the time I get in it's dark!

ps, in response to your comment, the UO t starps are gorgeous but rock hard. Pretty much killed my feet the first day. They broke in eventually but are still pretty stiff.
