Vintage Urban Living.

Living in a tiny apartment doesn’t allow for much in the way of gathering great vintage pieces for your collection. Well, not in my case. But, I have to say that it’s always fun to poke around and see what great finds others have scouted out. I just found Extra Virgin Home on Etsy this morning and figured that if not me, someone out there would have space for these treasures…

Indie Weddings Month.

I am very excited to share that Vintage Indie‘s Indie Wedding Guide has, for the second year, launched the Indie Weddings Month Celebration. What this means for you is a guide and directory full of amazing ideas to create your wedding using all things indie. They offer ways of d-i-ying it and encourage the three R’s: reduce, reuse and recycle. During the month of March, they’ll be posting information about giveaways, independent and small business vendors, tutorials and project ideas, eco-friendly and vintage alternatives and real life wedding tales. Check it out for yourself and share with loved ones who may need some wedding day planning tips.

Clever. Very.

I am always intrigued by the creativity and thought that some folks put into photographing items for their shops. I am totally smitten with these shots and have been meaning to post about them for a while now…
