This past weekend was the best weekend for vintage I've had so far! Not only did three of my Etsy orders arrive in the mail, but I also had wonderful luck and the Salvation Army and Thrifty Shopper. To top it all of, Dan's mother invited me over to look through and keep some of his grandmother's jewelry and clothing. It was so wonderful! She gave me the warm sweater I'm wearing here, which they believe may have come from Ireland (where his grandmother was born), the cameo necklace I'm wearing here, the forget-me-not necklace from yesterday's post, and the cape from yesterday's post. And that's not all! I got even more jewelry, which I will be sharing just as soon as I get a chance! It was a vintage lover's dream come true!

ReplyDeletei didn't even trip about our posts being similar -- I just used google images for those bales o' hay so it's all fair game-- you are very sweet to be concerned though and thanks for the credit, though I really don't deserve it. :) (but I'll take it hee hee!)

ReplyDeleteI'm envious of that sweater, lovely oatmeal colour and looks so cozy.

I love your cute little smile. I would be smiling like that too if I hit the vintage jackpot. :D I love it when vintage finds its way into my life from unusual ways. It makes me think that me and whatever amazing piece I find were destined to be together, you know? You look just darling in your little hat and cameo broach. Sweet!
ReplyDeleteXOXO
your dress is so cute! im jealous of all your good luck in finding vintage! lately all the stores near me are lame.
ReplyDeleteThat cardigan is absolutely gorgeous! Beautiful cameo too, can't wait to see more - thrifted pieces are lovely but I find inherited things so much more precious! X
ReplyDeleteLove your backdrop for the photos! Lovely little photo spread.
ReplyDeleteCheers!
