I realized this evening that it has been eons since I've posted any vintage love. I haven't stopped hunting. There was a period of time when I tried not to buy anything just before moving - but now we have an apartment with nothing in it, and I get to slowly fill it up :)
First - the cabinet. I saw this at the goodwill and couldn't pass it up. Steve doesn't really like it, but I think I'll paint the legs and handles and it'll be fine. It was $15 and fits our records perfectly.
Speaking of which, we've started collecting records.

My first purchase on vinyl was meant to be - my favourite Bowie song. (insane 80's video btw)
Little trinkets. The "London Bus" is a piggy bank. Does anyone else still use them? I love them, and rolling coins is a guilty pleasure, oddly enough. The lamp I scored at a yard sale down the street from our new place. It was $5. It had a hideous dusty rose shade on it that smelled like 1000 cartons of cigarettes, I told the woman she could have it back. Looking for the perfect shade - maybe white or teal?
And my fave items - 2 super cute glasses with pink flowers, and a vintage enamel flower brooch to add to my collection :)
Hope you enjoyed a tiny peek at our new apt. I will have to show you more as we get more settled.
Have a great weekend!

How do you find such cool stuff?!?!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds!
ReplyDeleteHurray. I love it. The cabinet is great. He'll figure it out eventually. Oh, and teal. diffidently.
ReplyDeleteTop photo and caption is awesome possum. Totally reminds me of the Fraser/Silverstone flick, "Blast from the Past".
ReplyDeleteMy dad has hundreds of records. Picked them up from a dollar a box at garage sales when everyone was making room for cassette tapes. :-D Maybe they will be mine someday...
