I love this etsy site.

I am entering a giveaway and *maybe* I will win a print? Regardless, I'm getting one! Here are some of my favorites:

anyway, lovely things for a lovely day. I am now done with finals!! :) oh, and some other lovely things:

{see this here}.

See my obsession coming through? :)

Argus C2

Today, I received an early Christmas present. It was a camera. An OLD camera. I love them. The look, the style, everything. I want to get a shelf so it can sit next to my polaroid camera, but for now, it just sits atop my dresser. Anyway, tonight I wanted to do some research so I decided to try and find out what kind it was....it was very easy. I found the EXACT one.

The ARGUS C2....made in 1938!!! Holy cow. i'm so happy. See for yourself -- isn't it beautiful?


For camera nerds like me, this talks about what all the buttons do.

Man, oh man. I'm in love. I know some of you (aka BECKY) might not understand my love for things in the past, but I LOVE old things. Woo!

Oh, tomorrow is my LAST final. Then it's time for some holiday R&R. See ya soon.

dear typewriter:

I met you in the antique mall. You took my breath away. I love how genuine you are. And your high keys set my heart a soarin'. Beauty...

Why did you have to be $75? Don't you know I'm a college kid?!

pyrex obsession.

Have I told you lately...that I love Pyrex?

I don't think I have. But, guess what? I do. It all started in the summertime, when I bought some Pyrex bowls for college at the oh-so-wonderful DI. I seriously love that store. And I love things that are old and vintage and...well, that sort of thing. Oh, and the glass jar things seen in my pictures....well I just love them :) The orange one I found at DI this summer for less than a buck and the blue and green ones I found last Saturday at Dollar Store. Hooray!

{yellow mug $.50, blue mug $.50, blue/yellow bowls were part of a cheap set I bought this summer, orange bowl $2, blue plate $.75}
{See those plates in that big yellow bowl? I bought those today. 2 plates, 2 bowls. They look old...}







PS. sorry for the pyrex overload...I love them :) How many pics can someone upload?? So many.

Sam found some great deals at DI too. I'm seriously jealous of the tea kettle...holy wow. Check them out here.

the 50s.

I love the 50s (and the 20s, 30s, 40s, and 60s). I'm a vintage gal. And I love the things they wore back then. I've also recently seen a lot of 50's inspired swimsuits. SOO cute :) Just a little pricey for my budget! Here are some of my favorite looks:







those are a few of my favorites!

have a lovely day and a GREAT fourth of July :)

gone vintage

i love the vintage look! maybe the sixties era rubbed off on me (it was my favorite era that i learned about this year in history). Needless...these are some lovelies I would gladly place in my closet.




[although the mannequin does creep me out]




okay i just really love the colors and style of this, but it wouldn't go in my closet. Hmm..you know..I was thinking this was a radio. Is it? haha. The coral/mango color combo caught my eye.


and I have always had a crush on typewriters. Especially the old fashioned ones with the high keys. And i love this color :)

Sorry, I'm really done posting for tonight!
