The Perfect Home

That little church went from my shop to this wonderful place. I think it's safe to say that it found the perfect home. I love it when that happens- and I think it usually does. I'm so glad Dawn showed me this picture.

Be sure to take a look at the other pictures from her home. They are just so beautiful and peaceful. Don't you just want to go curl up on that sofa right now?
Oh, and also, check out Dawn's shop: Kiki La Ru (temporarily closed for the holidays). She is the maker of (the original) cake bunting. Aren't they darling? If I could go back in time, I'd put one on my wedding cake.

Tick Tock...

I went to an antique mall last week and walked out with these 2 items. I sat them down side by side when I got home and laughed. Is someone trying to tell me something?
Maybe instead of hunting around at antique malls I should be Christmas shopping. After all, 2 weeks from today, that timer with go BUZZZZ and I had better be ready! I'm avoiding the real mall at all costs though. Are you ready?

Flea Finds

My local Flea Market has been OH SO good lately. These are just a few of my finds from today!

Vintage Fairy Tales

*update: Rebecka sent me another photograph of a doll from the shop (scroll to end).
Here's a fun blog to add to your reading list: Vintage Fairy Tales
Photographer Rebecka Ryberg Skött has a wonderful, whimsical style. It's always fun to see her new photographs that usually include some fun vintage characters.
In this post she shows some glimpses of her "Vintage Fairy Cottage". The image above is from that post, and if you look carefully, you'll see another bellalulu shop alumn! I do believe she found the most *perfect* home!
Rebecka kindly sent over another photograph of a former bellalulu doll. This particular photograph is in Copenhagen right now in Rebecka's exhibition, "Stop breaking down".....
The title of this picture is "Nobody knows the trouble I've seen".
So neat to hear this Rebecka! Thank you for sharing this with me!

Where are they now?

(images on left from Rue magazine; images on right are mine from the shop)

Have you read Rue yet? It's a wonderful online magazine. The first issue features Victoria Smith's home. Victoria has a must read design blog: sfgirlbybay. She has bought a couple of things from my shop and I was so thrilled to spot them in the pictures of her home tour! You can see many more pictures of her amazing home in Rue Magazine.

Vintage Dairy Crate Turned Photography Prop

I just love seeing where my finds end up going. This old dairy crate now holds babies! :)
This photograph was taken by a very talented customer, Deanna Ryan of Deanna Ryan Photography. Thanks Deanna for sending it along and allowing me to post it here!

Boo! A Sneak Peek

It's coming...Halloween. I'm not sure there is a holiday that better works with vintage. Just about anything vintage could be used in Halloween decor. It's pretty easy to mix vintage with spooky. Here are the things I will be listing in the next few days...
