Ecelectible Parts 4 U....Asian Influence

Sorry for being MIA yesterday....had some personal issues to deal with & all is resolved now thank God! 


Now that I'm back.... I wanted to blog about a shop I found called Eclectible Parts 4 U. This shop caught my eye because of all the vintage & Asian influence items they have available. I love all kinds of vases & home accessories, so this shop is ideal for ANYONE looking for rare & unique pieces to bring into your home! There's something really cool about owning something from the 1950's or 60's don't you think? 


I don't have a ton of vintage in my place unfortunately, but I'm looking to add some once we build the dining area console - a project that is loooong overdue! 

Anyhow.... I also noticed how the shop owner came up with the name Eclectible. Using two words.... Eclectible & Collectible which mean:

"ECLECTIC" : Selecting or choosing items from a variety of sources and styles generally from multiple sources.

"COLLECTIBLE" : An object that is valued in certain circumstances or sought after and popular to collectors due to its uniqueness and rarity.




Vintage Asian home accessories are always a BIG hit in my book, they make for great conversation pieces as well! 





Do you have any vintage items in your home?? If so, what ??

Tess's Home Tour...(Via Made by Girl)

This week I am also bringing you a home in Pennsylvania that belongs to a couple named, Tess & Jesse. Besides being a blogger, Tess also runs an online shop called Cozy Little Cave, where you'll find original paintings she's created of some stylish cartoon-like women! This couple is also expecting their first baby in August & I'm curious to see how they'll be decorating the nursery! 


I noticed in her bio we have a couple things in common, we both blog, have online stores, are Christians, and love colorful ART. The one thing we didn't have in common that I noticed was.....  I can't stand Dr. Pepper! Ha!
















How cool is this attic stairwell? They placed paint chips as decor to add some color and interest!  Neat!
























above: blanket for the nursery!

Lily of Birch + Bird: Home Tour...(Via Made By Girl)

Hello everyone! I've been pretty busy ever since my family arrived in town this weekend! I haven't had time to breathe...but instead have been playing tourist. I'm sure some of you know how that goes. 

Nonetheless, it's great to see my mother, it's been a year since I've seen her! Hope you're weekend went well & that you got lots of things done. Not sure how the weather is in your area, but here in NV it's SUNNY & gorgeous today, thank God.


On another note, this Tuesday I bring another home tour your way.  This time, it's from Lily & Rachel, two VINTAGE junkies who run a blog & shop called, Birch + Bird.  For those of you who love Vintage items,  take a peek at their shop! I don't have that many vintage items throughout my own home, but it's always nice to see these things featured in the homes of others! Enjoy!

Christys' London

How amazing are these vintage 60s hats of my father-in-law's?! Both are Christys' London and both make my British-obsessed heart beat mad! Oh, how I wish people still wore hats every day.


Christys' traditional Deerstalker and Sherlock.
...Things are crazy-holiday-hectic right now and Cole is sick again!! I blame all his germ-y classmates! I'm almost finished with my holiday decorations and when I'm done you can expect some photos!

Happy Saturday!

Yours,

Sneak Peek at Oktoberfest Haul + New Etsy Shop!

I know I've been promising in-depth photos of Oktoberfest in all of it's glory, but time just has not permitted such things. Well, time and the weather... A huge storm blew in on Tuesday when I wanted to take the photos.... they WILL be happening tomorrow though. So, until then, you get a few small sneaky-peekies and a first-hand shot of some things that will be going up on Etsy! (I'm trying to decide whether to make a new Etsy all together for these things, or just add them into my pre-existing shop.... Etsy sellers- what is your take on having multiple shops? Do you find it to be beneficial or just a hassel?



Thrifted at Oktoberfest: The orange television (it works!), all the cameras up top (sans the Instax 210), and the cameras over to the side! Also- the 1983 Tennessee license plate. 












and 4 big ol' boxes of owl memorabilia! (This is what will be going up on Etsy soon! I love all of the little pieces but we risk looking like we live in a residential Goodwill if I keep them all!)

Goodwill Finds!

Mike and I had a semi-successful day of thrifting on Wednesday! While I won't blog everything we picked up (because some of them need to be painted, etc), I will blog our two favorite finds of the day! We headed up to Franklin and went to the Goodwill over on the North/West side of town. While we were there, we happened upon this little side table that we thought would be perfect for the entrance of our house to store a little bowl on for keys, etc. But upon looking closer at the tag, we were greeted with an unexpected little surprise!











Well, someone wanted to make sure this little puppy didn't work so they clipped the electrical cord, but luckily this is something Mike could probably fix. For right now, though, we're happy to display it at our front door as it makes for a wonderful accent piece and conversation starter! How lucky did we get?!


Also, we snagged ANOTHER Polaroid camera! In PERFECT condition! This puppy works like a dream! Currently on my last pack of expired Polaroid film, we've been playing with it all day! 







And one of Baby G for good measure:





xoxo
