i've been busy hunting down some great new things over the last few weeks! here's a peek at some of the new arrivals (plus a few pics from the hunt)...

early morning trek to an east side sale.

trunk shot!

a few things i'm setting aside (for friends or farm chicks).

adorable tiny apron! this one's going to my bestie (for her kid sister).

love finding great old cameras!

a new display at the g&h space.

fun brass nozzles.

a great collection- perfect for a christmas tree cutting party?

another new display!

some sweet man stuff.

i was sorely tempted to keep those great green sunglasses!

lots of luggage in stock- just in time for holiday travels!

so many smartly dressed fellas.

horse head bookends? yes please!

next week i'll be in san francisco- check back for some fun posts about vintage san fran!

a farm chicks giveaway!

my friend Melissa and i had a fun booth at the show last year!

Serena, over at The Farm Chicks, has an exciting giveaway happening today- 2 early admission tickets to the Farm Chicks Show in june! early admission tickets sold out months ago, but now you have a chance to win a pair for you and a friend to come check out the show early!

i'll be there again this year and look forward to meeting lots of new friends and catching up with old ones. visit Serena's blog today to get a chance at those tickets!

a work in progress

it's been a busy month around here- seems like every month is a busy month these days! while i haven't done as much as i would like at the new gather & hunt shop space, i did make some good progress last weekend (thanks to the help of my mister). thought i'd share a little peak (i'd love to hear what you think, please comment)...

gather & hunt- the shop

the space in progress

i was excited to find this weathered nautical flag

at the top left are the cutest little match boxes- they're called 'swedish luxury matches'

the most enormous dictionary i've seen

i love these old cones of various fibers and threads

classic lab/art stools

a great find- WWII footlocker that belonged to a consulate member stationed in France

welcome

hello! i'm so glad you found this page. i know there's not a lot to look at right now, but that will all be changing this week.

i've been very busy with a conference i've been an organizer for over the last year- school house craft. in addition to organizing and teaching at the event i also provided all the vintage details to make our school house theme come alive! it was a pretty easy task, since the venue we held it in was an old school, and a beautiful one at that. the biggest trick was that we had to completely clear everything out of the venue each night and then set it all back up the following day!

i hope to have some more photos to share here soon, but in the meantime, you can check out our flickr photostream.

thanks for stopping by! i hope to see you again soon.
