I am sure you know that feeling. The need to get out of your house/studio/office because you have been working hard for days. The irresistible desire to treat yourself. There are many treats that make us girls happy. One of my favourites is hunting for a decorative object for my house. On a day like this I am so tuned in to my desires that I just find my little jewels: a large white ceramic vase, a lime ceramic fruit bowl and a copy of Charles Dickens' David Copperfield published by Collins. All from vintage stores around town. Curious what your favourite treats are!

i have so many. i could never pick one.....i love yours. that lime bowl is adorable.
ReplyDeleteI love shopping for little treats! One of my best finds is a pair of Mottahedeh elephant candlesticks I scored in AL last month! xx
ReplyDeleteI love that lime green bowl! Vintage shopping is definitely one of my treats... one that doesn't hit my pocketbook too hard. I also like to go out for coffee. Or I often end up buying little things like hand cream or bubble bath or candles!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds Mariska! I love to come across a vintage book, very cool. Actually, that's probably my favorite find is a good used book, especially if it's in really good shape. Also, I like finding something that has potential, like, it looks rather unattractive in the shop, but I just know I can take it home and make something amazing!
ReplyDeleteI have the same guilty pleasure and when I have the urge... look out!!
ReplyDeleteYou did well, love your finds:)

ReplyDeletegreat scores, it is good to get out - so many treasures to bring back with you!
ReplyDeleteOhh this is one of my favorite things to do in all the world too! I love that copy of Copperfield you found---how handsome! I love finding vases for fresh flowers and brass figurines for my bookshelves. Accessories are such fun to shop for! xoxo katie
ReplyDeletelove the vintage stuff! I was so happy when I bought my vintage 'hello there chair'! It inspires me every day and it is great to collect vintage during lifetime!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scores! My favourite thing is to find something completely unexpectedly and just know that it was meant for you, waiting for you, wanting to be yours! I really love the fruit bowl and am always a sucker for books.
ReplyDeleteUuuuggggghhhh!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
All of it!
Thinking I need to immigrate and shack up in your hood.
