another turn table?

26 May

Remember how I mentioned while on vacay last week we did a little yard sale stalking and thrift shopping?

Well, the hubs’ obsession with LPs has come to full fruition. 

Check out the newest addition, courtesy of a yard sale, in its new place on top of the china cabinet: 

It’s pretty rugged (and by rugged I mean dirty and rusty…), see?

But I love the pop of color and the unlikely item as decor.  Functional yet funky.

And did I mention that my favorite color is red?!

If you don’t know about this FLM, today is your day of reckoning.

Etsy is the end-all be-all of handcrafted and vintage goodness.  Secret time. I myself had an Etsy shop last year.  I made some crafts. I even got a few sales!  My free time grew scarce and I couldn’t keep up with it any longer, but I will definitely be a shopper for life even if I can’t be a seller.

Check out this cute and sleek piece of work from a new Etsy shop I stumbled upon,  Frillychilidesign:

Isn’t this headband from the Etsy shop of  Brittany Chavers Studio absolutely darling?! 

I love the vintage design, and I’m a huge fan of flowers in the hair.  Plus I have an obsession with lace.  So fabulously feminine.

Speaking of vintage, I did mention that Etsy sells actual old vintage items too, right?

This dress from the Jumblelaya shop is amazing:

I feel like I should be wearing this while welcoming the hubs at the door when he arrives from work.  The epitome of a 50’s era housewife.  “Honey, I’m home!”

I could go on and on… and on. And. on.

Etsy rocks my socks off.
