list of wish

i go to the thrift store with a very open mind and very wide eyes

i take my time and browse most sections, or the ones i have patience for

(it really depends on the day)

while i know that its almost impossible to go with a goal to find a specific item

i keep a mental list of hard-to-find wonders 

that a) i can't get enough of or b) that i want...but only in thrift treasure form

most of these thrift treasures can be purchased from etsy

& in the midst of researching thrift wishes

i purchased me these every-day black boots

boots  ..  clock  ..  key  ..  wallpaper  ..  ladder  ..  napkin  ..  butter

the answer is no-- but this ciaté filled with mini-polish gems comes in second!

un à onze

my prize cat (not this delicate angel in the photo)

--decided to run away from home the other night

she snuck out when a friend came in for a visit

and i didn't notice until about an hour later

after a rigid search of every nook of the house, and a near heart attack

i found her on the neighbours porch: we was stressin

now every chance she gets she makes a run through the open front door

...the time has come for a collar

dreamy

every blue moon i like to gander at APARTMENT section

on the urban outfitters website

i am reminded that want + need are very different things

mr.knife + miss.fork

mr.knife + miss.fork is an accessory line designed by laurel broughton

it is inspired by a novel by rené crevel in which a butter knife falls madly in love

with a dinner fork.  together they run away from the duties of the table. 

 

 

the 'tresses' scarf is my favorite

need supply co.

once upon a time i discovered need supply co. 

on a great search for the most beautiful watch

it was these high waisted green jeans that brought me back to dream

one .. two .. three .. four .. five .. six

summer shoes

i took a short trip to guelph & cambridge last week

and took the opportunity to visit a couple of my favorite thrift stores

here are some gems i found

they have all been posted for sale on my etsy site

cap-sac

if you know me well enough, 

you would know that i am a true believer in the fanny pack.

this cap-sac is a wise incorporation of the fanny-pack. it may not work if you're like me and you need to carry your nikon around with you wherever you go. but, for a night of dancing, or day of festival dancing in the sun! how perfect.

i bet they will be selling them at american apparel in 3...2...
