I have been in a book coma for the last....three days? I think? gosh how many days have actually passed? I started reading the Hunger Games trilogy this friday, and am half way into the second, and finally forcing myself to step away from the pages but not without difficulty. I actually can't tell whether I'm addicted because I like them or because they're merely a never ending story, never giving the satisfaction of conclusion. Also, it's been pointed out to me that there is literally no good place to stop reading, making it harder to put down.
Anyways, this post was never intended to be a book review so I'll move on. Recently I traveled to Portland, OR which was not only incredibly fun but generated many goods for my Etsy shop via the bounty of second hand stores not only in portland but on the road there as well.
Here's just a few thing's I've had time to take photos of;
I had so much fun staging these photos above and below. Up top is an old shabby pitcher, and below are some nice leather brazilian made boots. Both were found in Post Falls
This double breasted blazer I found in "The bins". The bins are a huge warehouse where overstock goodwill donations, as well as damaged donations get sent and loaded into long plastic bin tables. You pay a dollar/lb for most everything you find in there. I had to push through many hard core bargain hunters to be a part of the first group to get their hands on this particular fresh bin, and voila, I found this ralph lauren jacket, with a matching larger one, a perfect condition cashmere sweater, and a vintage hand knit wool one, along with a few other nicknacks.
Above is an indian blouse found in Buffalo Exchange, and to the right is a vintage wool camisole I can't help but keep for myself
Below is an adorable little girls dress from the 50s
I also bought lederhosen suspenders which I plan to get lots of practical use from, three beautiful blouses from the 1930's, and a hand beaded head band from the 40s
lots of fun
