01
His & Hers Savings Accounts
– $8
from violet64
If I had a live-in boyfriend or husband, I would absolutely need one of these.

02
Melamine serving platter – $42
from junkculture
The only reason I’m posting this is because I know there’s no way I can afford it anytime soon. But it’s kind of my dream dish.

03
Reclaimed metal picture frames – $25
from CharlotteCramer
I’m all about ornate, over-the-top decor made modern.

04
70’s coat – $95
from TheLovelys
Whoever ends up with this is one lucky lady; it’s absolutely gorgeous.

05
Make Do & Mend print – $59
from boldandnoble
I spotted this a few days ago when I was having a bit of a hard time, and this has become my new motto. While the original message was about literal mending of one’s clothes (it was originally a British wartime poster), I think it’s equally as translatable as doing with what you have and healing yourself. I’m going to have to save up my pennies for this!

07
Cowl scarf - $65
from thehouseofhemp
This looks so incredibly cozy. I think I’d probably never take it off.

My purchases this week:

bought01
Deer figurine from elizabethwrenvintage
How adorable is this?! I’ve been a huge lover of woodland creatures and imagery since I was a little girl, and I decided recently to start collecting deer, owls, and foxes. This is the first piece of my collection, and I can’t stop looking at it. Plus the packaging it arrived in was so cute that I hated to open it.

bought02
Madden Girl Selestee Ruffle Pump – $39.95
These were my birthday present to myself. I’m in love…

I’m also currently coveting:

  • A yellow rotary phone
  • A hostess apron
  • A full apron
  • More woodland goodies!
  • Anything mint-colored
  • Old photographs
  • Letterpressing
  • Boots, sweaters, blazers, and new autumn clothes
  • Fascinators and birdcage veils
  • More vintage luggage (I’ll take pictures of mine once I get my new camera!)
  • MY NEW CAMERA!

And I just got a job! Etsy-inflicted bankruptcy, here I come!

  • Digg
  • StumbleUpon
  • del.icio.us
  • Facebook
  • I’ve got those same picture frames and the blue plate in my faves too. But the blue plate I faved comes with a saucer too.

    My recent orders include: 4 poodles figurines and a nightstand! Yay etsy. Poodles and deer figurines are my new obsession. I bought the cutest sad eyed poodle bank at the antique market and am going back tomorrow for furniture so who knows what I will find! They’ve got lots of old phones so if I see a super cute one I’ll take a pic for you.

    Etsy/ebay/antiques bankruptcy is my future too!
