This morning was like Christmas morning.  Ever since I found out about the estate sale yesterday, I was excited.  I even traveled to the ‘burbs alone (I got my drivers license last summer so traveling alone to new places can be a little nerve-wracking) to reserve a spot in line Saturday morning.  Luckily I did so (I was number 6!), because when 9:30 hit, there were at least 50+ people waiting.  The house was mid century design heaven and jammed pack with so many fabulous items.  If I had the chance to move in I would probably leave all my stuff behind…it was that good.  Here is what I managed to get my hands on.

The typewriters and owl hanging are from my personal collection (which may or may not make it into the shop someday).  

I really wanted these chairs, but the family decided to keep them in the family.  How could you blame them?  Also, that floor?  Amazing!

Nate and I were really tempted to buy these white leather couches.  They were reasonably priced, but: (a.) they’re leather (b.) they’re white (c.) we want to get a dog (d.) I would totally end up staining them or something.

These last two pictures are the never ending glass collection I have going on.  It’s over taking my kitchen now.

I’m still debating on what to keep and what to put in the shop.  If you see something you like be sure to keep your eye on the etsy shop, because it just might make it in there soon.  

I have never been so excited to go to an estate sale before. I’m sure the couch will be way out of my budget, but all I want to do is sit on it. 

Nate and I picked up these lovely beauties yesterday at an estate sale.  They’re hanging diagonally from each other in the only (tiny) hallway in our apartment.  Life before photoshop…amazing!

In other news this may be my last sneak peek in a while.  (gasp!  I may have to actually write on this blog for a bit)  Looks like the digital camera I use decided to short out after I was done taking 700+ pictures.  Luckily we were able to get the photos off the camera before it died, but now I’m out of a camera.  So what do you use?  Any suggestions would be much appreciated!  I also may be switching blog platforms.  I <3 tumblr, but I use it more as a “long” blog than a “short” blog… I may keep this as a lookbook of sorts…who knows.  

The same skirt!

All items (except maybe the black & silver number) will be in the etsy shop soon.

So this blog is pretty much has turned into a never ending sneak peek.  I’m sorry, I really do want to write about other things again, but for now check out some vintage lovelies that will be listed in my etsy shop this month.

All of these vintage lovelies will be appearing soon in my vintage etsy shop.

On another exciting note, I’m in this weeks “best dressed” Oscar themed Etsy’s voter!

It only says 0 votes, because I took a screen shot of the page while signed out of etsy. I’m  up against some f i e r c e competition, but I would love for your votes, if you don’t mind.  I don’t expect to win, (since the coat already sold)  I’m just super happy just being nominated. (I sound like an actress who is up for an oscar.)
