We’re just starting to feel a bit settled here. This corner of our bedroom is filled with favorite things: a vintage Luxo lamp ($3 at a yard sale in Blacksburg), a vintage GE alarm clock ($3.50 on eBay + $7 shipping), robin’s egg blue table ($20 at an antiques mall in Tulsa), and refashioned vintage hankie art by me (hankie = $2). Oh, and that Liberty of London mug is new but still a favorite ($6 at Target).
I love finding a good deal on something old and pretty. Especially when that old, pretty thing is still quite useful.
But altering an old, pretty, and useful thing can be rewarding too. :)
I hope you enjoyed this tiny peak at our new place. More show-and-tell to come!

Blacksburg is one of my favorite places on earth. I lived there for 4 years, I’m sure you can guess why, and I miss it all the time. Hope you’re enjoying it there. It’s about to get even better in Sept & Oct - nothing is better than fall in Blacksburg. Oh, and if you get a good amount of snow when the moon is full-ish, I recommend you take an after-dark hike to the Cascades waterfall. The snow will give you all the illumination you need and it is like magic.
