treasure hunt.

I've been craving a good thrifting/junk shop/antiquing adventure. I've recently learned that there are a slew of antique malls around Charleston that I haven't even been to. And I think I need to remedy that. Some things that are always on my thrifting radar:

Old silver. My grandma has always collected it, 

and I'd love to have enough mismatched silver for a dinner party.

Vintage fans are my jam. If I see one, I will probably buy it. 

I'd love to find some old soda crates. Not sure what I'd do with them, but I'll figure that out later. 

Vintage linens, including handkerchiefs, tablecloths, and napkins — especially from the 1950s.

Typewriters. Maybe it's because I'm a writer, or maybe it's just because they're awesome. 

I'll never use them, but they sure are pretty to look at.

Matchbooks. 

Ok, I'm starting to get carried away. There's just going to have to be a Part 2 of this post at some future date. Until then, let me know if you want to go junkin'.

so fresh.

I recently ran across an old Lucky article that lists the best websites you've probably never heard of. My on-a-budget self is having a hard time being good.

Filled with vintage and vintage-inspired finds from across Europe (but mainly France), I'm pretty sure Chicago's P.O.S.H. was made just for me.

The Curiosity Shoppe has a fun selection of stationery and a lot of other wacky, Modcloth-esque stuff.

Three Potato Four, based in Philadelphia, has everything from antique signs to kids stuff to wedding accessories. Warning: You probably can't afford anything.

Funny and functional gifts from Spoon Sisters.

oh homer.

I'm on a shopping high. I spent most of the day scouring thrift stores on the outskirts of town, looking for stuff for Stinge. I found four great cross-body bags, some shoes, and a few tops, but the prize of the day was a selfish find: a complete set of 1955 Homer Laughlin china. Maybe I don't need it, maybe I'm too young to get so excited about dishes, but I'm in love. Now I think I need a china cabinet.
