A Peek Inside: Oh Hello Friend Shop Opening

This past Friday night the mister and I had the honor of visiting the new Oh Hello Friend shop! I was so excited to check out the fruit of all the hard work Danni, and her mister, Nick have been doing over the last few months.

They did a killer job. The little shop is just amazing and full of all kinds of carefully curated goodies!

The shop is the Oh Hello Friend blog brought to life! From fantastic party goods (which as you can see in the photo above, I bought loads of), to all of the fun jewelry that Danni usually takes to shows, and of course, lovely vintage, and really affordable reproduction vintage, pieces.

What I loved most were the amazing vintage fixtures all around the shop! They really just bring such great charm to the space and make for beautiful displays.

The party itself was done just as nicely as the shop. There was amazing food, lovely drinks, a photo booth, a DIY station, and even live music by the talented duo Me and Mr. Cassidy (who had the window sill as their 'stage'). It was so fun to see the shop packed full of people out to support Danni and Nick. I truly felt honored to be included in this little preview party. 

I opted not to bring my 'good' camera, so all I have for you are these phone pics, but Danni will be posting some professional photos of the shop later this week, so check those out to get a better sense of the awesomeness.

If you live in the LA or Orange County area, plan a visit to Oh Hello Friend. It's located in downtown Fullerton at 122 N Harbor Blvd, Suite 103. There are many other cute little shops in the area and they even have regular flea markets nearby, so you can make a day of it!

Many thanks to Danni and Nick for inviting us to be a part of such a special night!

finds to fancy

i have to sigh a bit at myself- i keep planning to get back on a regular schedule with blogging, but i never seem to make it happen. this week i started a new, temporary, job and that's made things even worse- i'm definitely out of practice with getting up before 5AM and then working on my feet for full 8 hour days so it's been a rough week (like get-home-and-feel-like-i-can't-move rough). i even tried to use my lunch break to get this post up, but didn't finish it in time and was under the weather last night so i'm sharing this post on a Saturday. okay, enough about that- onto the finds! 

last weekend i attended my first California estate sale. i wasn't sure what to expect, especially since i didn't make the effort to get up early and get on a list. i was pleasantly surprised, upon arriving about 20 minutes after the sale had started, to not have to wait in line to get in. i was delighted to find that the items i was hoping to score, which i had seen in the listing photos, were still there waiting for me! it wasn't a big sale so i didn't get much, but the prices weren't too high and i definitely found some things i fancy so overall i'd say it was a great way to kick off estate sale-ing in my new locale! 

we'll start with the things i'm keeping for myself...

another rubber office stamp to add to the stamp carousel i picked up from Oh Hello Friend at the Rose Bowl Flea Market. 

the cutest hide-a-key box i've ever seen!

and finally- a milk glass cake stand. i've been looking for one just like this for awhile now, but the ones i've found before were either too damaged or too expensive. this one is perfect and i'm so excited to add it to my collection!

now for the things i'll be adding to the g&h inventory (read on to the end to hear some exciting news about the first ever California g&h event)...

if you like what you see, and live in the LA area, i'm happy to announce that you'll be able to purchase g&h goods next weekend at the Oh Hello Friend Holiday Vintage Sale! admission is free, but we'd love to know how many to expect so just click on the link above for all the details and to RSVP. i'll have some more details up next week and Danni will share a post about the sale as well on the Oh Hello Friend blog so check back with both blogs next week! i'm looking forward to meeting new friends and sharing g&h with my new state. oh, and if you know anyone in the LA area who likes vintage i'd be grateful if you'd help spread the word!

happy weekend everyone! i'm off to sort through some Christmas boxes for a few things to add to the sale. i hope you enjoy the day, whatever you may be doing.
