weekend update (and new arrivals)

happy Memorial Day friends! i thought i'd check in with some of the weekend happenings around here...

90% done with cleaning, tagging, and packing the Farm Chicks Show inventory!
a new hair color. i'm going back to my natural, dark blonde color. it'll be a bit of process, but it's off to a good start.
deciding on shoes for Farm Chicks (via text messages with the bestie)

we went to a 2 year old's birthday party yesterday- so fun. all the little ones there were so cute playing together outside!

i also had an exceptionally good day at the thrift on friday so there are some great new arrivals at the Fremont Vintage Mall space...

fundue anyone?
love love love. almost kept this one it's so good.
these were handed out at Boeing's family day in 1972. they're the material that had to be punched out to put the windows in the plane, turned into souvenir trays. cool!
an Ingrid picnic ball, just in time for Memorial Day picnics! 
this microscope projects the image onto the wall as you look at the slides!
what have you been up to? i hope you're enjoying this monday, even if you don't have the day off!

apologies (and new arrivals)

good morning! first off, my apologies for skipping a wednesday gratitude post this week. those are one of my favorites to write, but i just didn't have any time yesterday!

i'd love to say i'm one of those really organized bloggers who has a whole arsenal of posts saved up to use in busy times, but i'm not (yet). so, to be honest, i will probably be skipping blogging most days in the coming week and a half. with the Farm Chicks Show a little over a week away, it's crunch time around here and most of my waking hours are filled with prepping all the fun goods i've been saving up over the last year. i'll try to at least post some photos every day and i'll be on instagram, facebook, and twitter- so you can keep up on my progress. hopefully i'll fit a few posts in as well, but no promises.



for today- i have a few new arrivals at the space in the Fremont Vintage Mall to share with you...









thanks for your patience in the coming days! i look forward to getting back on a normal schedule in June and sharing a few posts about Farm Chicks too!

new arrivals

a few new goodies arrived in the vintage mall space this week...

 
i just realized i set the date on that perpetual calendar wrong!

if you're ever interested in an item i post, but aren't local to Seattle, please message me and we can probably make arrangements!

new arrivals

i added some fun things to the space at the fremont vintage mall this weekend! have a look...

baby brownie with case and a brownie 13 MM (plus that awesome Super 37 that came in a few weeks ago)

fun projector reels- how would you use them? 

vintage office supplies are so wonderful- especially compared to today's ugly plastic stuff

ah crewel, so perfectly retro

these aren't new, but i moved them and i just love the pattern- buy one or the whole set! 

lovely south american woven wall hanging- great colors! 

should have photographed this one at home- bad photo, but a really cool lamp! 

i'm feeling extra ambitious today and am working on a 2nd Tuesday post- a look into the 'archives' (aka, stuff i'm saving for the farm chicks show), so stop by this afternoon and take a peek!  i just discovered my camera made a little trip to my mister's work today, so no archives post today. oops!

oh, and if you didn't follow along on last friday's finds to fancy- the live edition, i've just added all the photos to the original post, so scroll down and have a gander at all the fun stuff we found!
