catching up.

Just got back from our mini-vaycay.  It was lovely.  But we missed Marley.  Craig’s parents doggy-sat for us and when I went to pick her up she was the most excited I’ve ever seen.  She usually gets super excited for Craig, but not quite as excited for me, so that made me happy.  Now we’re just relaxing.  I’m catching up on blog reading, and apparently you can miss a lot over a weekend!

I got two sweet awards, and I have quite a few new followers that I’ve yet to say hello to.  I’m not very good about that…I try…but not quite awesome at it.  Sorry.  I’m very excited to have you new blog friends and I can’t wait to get to know you better!

Later tonight, or tomorrow I’ll post about our trip and post those awards, but for now, here are a couple of pretty things I was wishing for while antiquing this weekend……

pretty lamp

I wanted this chair.  So bad.  It matches nothing in my home.  I didn’t care.

hostess with the mostess.

Probably not super comfy to hold.  But cute.  Loving the acid-y yellow.

pretty in pink.  vintage ornaments.

pink china set.  I kept being drawn to all things pink
despite the fact that nothing in my house is pink.
lovely luggage.

AND….the most coveted object on my wish list…a vintage card catalog.
I’ve been wanting one for-e-ver.  Sadly they’re not cheap.  This beauty was
$1,600!  In my dreams.  If you ever see a steal of a deal, let me know!
Hope you’ve all had wonderfully fun/restful weekends!

Now…..back to catching up on blogs……

  1. That lamp rocks! Have you ever seen those Chinese apothecary cabinets? They look just like the card catalog, except each little drawer is labeled in Chinese. I soooo want one of those.

  2. LOVE the last suitcase and the card catalog… i’ve been wanting an old mail caddy… but i would take the card catalog too!
    glad you had a fun weekend!
    xo

  3. i love the lamp and the Hostess with the Mostest plate. Is that a plate? Or just a sign? I can’t really tell, but love it regardless! And wow, you really do have a lot more followers! I remember you posting about being happy about the 30 something followers and I feel like that was not that long ago! Not surprising though because you have the cutest blog that I always look forward to reading. I’m glad you had a great vacation 🙂

  8. Sounds like a lovely getaway. That lamp is just gorgeous!

  9. I really loved all of your wonderful finds, I really wish that I could have bought you that wonderful card catalog. My most favorite thing was that I got to see your face light up each time that you found a new treasure.

  10. thank you so much for leaving that link on my blog. i wrote you back in my comment section but decided to pop over here too. it made my day! what beautiful photographs! and all these vintage furniture photos on YOUR blog are also making me happy!!!! the lamp is awesome!

    happy holidays!

    xo

  11. i love the teacups and the pink ornaments. so dainty and sweet. thanks for stopping by!

  12. lauren! i am glad you are back. i missed you! 🙂 all of these pictures are amazing! i have always wanted a vintage card catalog too! i saw one once and it was so expensive. sigh. i will keep my eye out for ya though! guess what? i’m watching elf right now. sean is asleep and earlier informed me that he has seen this movie once and didn’t really care for it. i think i might divorce him tomorrow.

    anyway, i love you and think you are awesome and love that marley was so excited to see you! that is one of the reasons that i want a puppy so bad!

  13. haha k i will keep trying. i watch it all the time and i think he is just trying to be a party pooper. i was the same with anchorman. i hated it at first but then fell in love. i just watched blades of glory again the other day. sean laughed at that. he might not admit it but he did. “i couldn’t love a human baby more than i love this brush..”

    love it. anyway, haha yeah 100 followers? i had 101 earlier..so maybe i’m losing popularity..haha jk. that’s not why i blog so no big deal 🙂 i am flattered though! and you are getting up there! seriously! you pretty much had a celeb over here! how awesome is that!

    i read your comment on her page, and seriously? you are the sweetest person in the whole world. you always leave the most thoughtful comments and i love it. you are my idol 🙂

  14. Glad you are back, girl!!! 😀 Love the ornaments (pink anyways!!) and the lamp. 😀 Kinda put me in the shopping mood right now…haha.

  15. Oh man! i can’t blame you I would have wanted all of those things to! Especially the lamp and the hostess with the mostess! lol

  16. Oh my goodness I am IN LOVE with the idea of finding a vintage card catalog! That one is absolutely gorgeous!!!

  17. Oh I love that card case thing! It’s so cool. I can’t believe it’s so much though. Maybe look at flea markets or on Craigslist. I love the pink china too but it would probably be hard getting Matthew to agree on it haha
