Mother’s Day Dress Search

I’m so grateful and excited to celebrate my fist mother’s day this year. I don’t have a ton of pictures of me and Nate (I’m usually behind the camera these days), so I’d like to look lovely on the day. I’m looking for a spring dress (even it if is cold that day) that has [...]

Vintage Misfits on Etsy

I came across a great Etsy seller today, Vintage Misfits, and found two sweet dresses that I might have to get. Again I’m drawn to the black and white…guess all the baby toys taking over my house are enough colour for me!
60s Black Velvet Dress $22
70s Ivory Dress $10
There are over 200 items in the [...]

Flea File – January
February 1st, 2011 · No Comments · Shop Dublin, Shop Thrift, Shop Vintage
We bundled up the baby on Sunday and headed out to a packed Dublin Flea where we found some real gems.
We were married and lived in Boston for several years, so Make Way for Ducklings was a very special find (it’s about a group of wayward ducklings in Boston and there are statues of the [...]

Breakfast

Hello there. It’s been a long time…almost 6 months. Sorry for the long absence, but mommy duties prevailed. I decided to use my maternity leave as time purely devoted to my little guy. You just don’t get those early days back you know. Anyhow, he’s getting bigger and better at sleeping now so I have [...]
Hart+Sew Vintage Baby Clothes
August 10th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Shop Online, Shop Vintage
I heart Hart+Sew! My new first-stop-shop for vintage baby and toddler clothes. My husband thought I was absurd buying vintage duds for our dude, but when he saw the tiny gym shorts he made some pretty embarrassing baby squeals (and will probably ban me from Etsy for life for telling you that!) All the little [...]
I love you San Antonio
June 17th, 2010 · No Comments · Shop Online, Shop Vintage, Uncategorized
I was feeling a wee bit homesick the other day and found this awesome shirt from the 70s/80s on Etsy expressing the same sentiment I feel for my hometown–San Antonio, Texas. I totally didn’t appreciate SA when I was growing up, but now I realise just how much the South Texas culture has influenced me. [...]

Yesterday was an amazing day in Dublin–bright, sunny and perfect for hitting up the Dublin Flea Market. The market is really becoming an event and a great place to meet up with friends for lunch, a chat and a browse around the many goodies. I’m really loving the outdoor stalls that tended to have more [...]

Springtime Shopping
April 5th, 2010 · 3 Comments · Shop Online, Shop Vintage
April showers may bring May flowers, but it doesn’t mean you have to let the dreary weather get you down. Embrace the few hours of sunshine we get a week and dress sunshiny as soon as those clocks go forward…that’s my philosophy anyway. Here’s some pretty things that would perk up any old winter wardrobe.

Last Sunday I visited the new and improved Dublin Flea Market. With all the new stalls under the marquees in the parking lot, I was a bit overwhelmed by the choice (and am still regretting not getting a couple of items, but them’s the breaks). Here’s what I did come home with:
♥♥♥ Coral beaded and [...]
