shop update!


sneaking in a shop update before the weekend. some great finds, if i do say so myself. a few of my favorites: good morning toast stamp, jumbo scented emergency crayon candles (with scents like lotus and apple blossom), japanese stoneware soup bowls with handles (how many times have you struggled with a too-hot bowl of chicken noodle?), and iron trivet with great typography. but there's more! check out pinkshirtsandcarwrecks vintage or click the shop sidebar to the right.

happy friday!

spoooky!





halloween illustrations from the vintage halloween flickr pool. fun to look at the old photos of kids in costumes, too.

foxy celebration

this roundup for a fantastic mr. fox themed party is so sweet. fun for autumn. click over to hip hip hooray for sourcing.

a nice foamy head


erin of indigo bunting gave her husband the gift of root beer, complete with a handy reference chart. what a great idea! she filled a vintage soda crate with 24 different bottles. s is a root beer connoisseur, so this would be the perfect gift for his birthday if i can get ahold of really different stuff he hasn't already tried. plus, his birthday is dec. 5, the day after international root beer day. (i don't think he really reads this, so my secret is probably safe.)

a touch of the rustic

not only do i wish a barn door would work in my house but i wouldn't mind living in each of these rooms. i live the touch of rustic in a modern setting. the white and wood above is a dream.


love the western/american indian vibe in this rug. and the antler chandelier is actually quite tasteful if you're going that route.


and how about that bathtub? (plus the grey and yellow scheme.)


[via you are my fave]

wouldn't mind an office tucked behind a door like this, either.

and how about the chalkboards on the barn door sliding track?

belated feature


in all the front page hullabaloo last week i forgot about this feature: my vintage gothamware picnic set was included in this sweet pink and teal treasury. much obliged!

i like today: pops of brights

i'm liking pops of bright colors today: the new evoke mio portable radio by orla kiley, the colorful knitted poufs from ferm living [via sfgirlbybay] (loving that coral/red color), words of wisdom by danna ray (great typography), and this sweet woodland tray by darling clementine studio.

stumbled upon it

now addicted to stumble upon. spent a good few hours on it yesterday (during the game. multitasking! sorta.) and it directed me to the amazing forgotten bookmarks. michael works at a used bookstore and documents the random things people have left in their books. i love stuff like this (i have a small collection of grocery lists found on supermarket floors myself). forgotten bookmarks, you have been bookmarked.

canned heat in your feet

luff it. especially with the dark wood. how happy would it make you to take that basket of laundry upstairs? chore, what chore?
