I've accumulated some really excellent old things lately, and I thought I would take some photos to share them with you!
Let's start with this insane quilt:
I nabbed it just last weekend at the antique mall. It has, embroidered in the squares, all of the state birds! And state flowers! And little, odd, totally unofficial (updated: Thanks so much all of you who told me what's what about these older abbreviations) state-abbreviations in banners! When I found it, I did the crazy, looking-around-suspiciously thing you do when you can't believe that someone hasn't snapped up a quilt featuring all of the state birds and flowers and state-abbreviations in banners.
I had been watching this little old-as-can-be taxidermy duck at the antique mall for almost a year and I finally brought her home and named her Clementine. She manages to be quite cute and quite gross, simultaneously.
I got this locket from an Etsy seller in February...okay, it was my Valentine to myself. I love stars, and a vintage locket with beautiful stars and a tiny photo of somebody's fella from about 80 years ago is as good as it gets.
Pretty brown purse (local vintage) + briefcase (Ebay'ed), because I got really obsessed with having a little briefcase a few months back:
We actually ended up going thrifting today, and found some gems, mostly for the house. Observe the back of our car:
Very little makes me happier than a good thrifting day.
Especially when it includes these two things:
We have so many lovely old things, but luckily we all really love old treasures.
And I do mean all of us:
