A trip to Tattered Treasures and an Etsy Sale

How are all of you holding up this day after Thanksgiving? Did you all leave the house to brave the craziness of the Mall, or did you just lay around on the sofa wearing "stretchy pants"? Well, my older daughter who is a certified shopper always loves to hit the sales. I'm afraid Ann Taylor and Banana Republic will have to restock tomorrow. I would have loved to start Christmas decorating today, but Hey, who would help her carry all those shopping bags?

On our last trip to St. Louis we stopped at one of my favorite shops, Tattered Treasures, in Lebanon, Missouri, and the owner Terry just happened to be in. I took some shop pics for you, her store is a shabby vintage paradise.

This lamp and shade are just gorgeous.

This great industrial vignette greets you at the door.

I found some great bread boards that I'll share soon.

And just wanted to let you know that I'm having a 20% Off Sale

in my Etsy Shop, The Petite Boutique

use code CGETSY 20

Hope you're having a wonderful Thanksgiving Weekend.

Out for sushi tonight!

Vintage Inspiration #84 Garden Inspiration

My favorite kind of Vintage Inspiration is vintage Garden goods. I'm drawn to garden related items like a backyard bunny to fresh lettuce (or just potted petunias). Give me old gardening tools, some clay pots, and some vintage seed packets and I can be happy playing for hours. So when I found out that one of Robin's new shop areas was devoted to a garden theme, my heart went pitty pat! Here are a few photos of her new shop, "The Garden District", here in Springfield. Enjoy the photo inspiration, and if you can come by the Open House this weekend, you'll get to experience it first hand.

And here's some fun posts from last week:
