This post from Say Yes to Hoboken reminded me that I hadn’t posted pictures of my redone dining room, specifically this arrangement on top of my sideboard:
I bought the flashcards on etsy a few years ago (from a now defunct shop,) and just framed them a few months ago. Pictures of the rest of the [...]
I picked up the stainless steel set at an estate sale last fall, so when I spotted the yellow set at the Alameda Flea Market a few weeks ago I had to have them too. Luckily, they only set me back $15. Score.

What was up with the Alameda Flea Market (also known, affectionately, as the crap fair) today? hardly anyone, either vendors or shoppers was there.

super cute vintage basket, $6
pristine vintage tissue holder, $8
fancy vintage [...]

Yay! After months of searching craigslist for some kind of bar cart with style and personality (and in my price range) I found one with the help of my new favorite thing, listpic (which I wrote about here.)
It’s pretty much exactly what I was looking for – two levels, so that most of the bottles [...]
