Much Love by Ashley G. Inspired by a vintage heart doily… it is so calling me, I must answer…

Perfect for the black and white area for our house… It can go with these pillows, too…

Here is a red one. Few more colors are available and they all look so cute, I want to have them all if I could… :)

I first learned about this great vintage shop called mushroom and moss vintage at sfgirlbybay, I remember going to her shop as soon as I saw the letter H milkglass bowl… and it was gone.

I was just looking around her shop and saw that the initial milkglass bowls are back! No more letter H, unfortunately, but I had to share this with you all because they are really cute and great! Each letter is different, love the vintage type and simple black lettering on milkglass white — If you see your initial, I would say “grab one! right now!” :)

More are listed in here, too.

Friday morning inspiration (and shopping)… Happy Friday!

I want these I Hardy Cards so badly. Looks so beautiful and special. These cards are based on a deck printed circa 1765, printed on heavy paper with woodblocks.

Last Saturday, I stopped by Brooklyn Flea in Fort Greene — It was so great! I guess I hadn’t been there this year yet, I was surprised it got really big! I might have to go check it out every weekend now… (until they close for winter time.)

I found lots of inspirations, letters, took some pictures — enjoy!

Vintage signage:

Found F:

R, U, O — they are BIG.

Glass jar — I like the star.

Cool old stamps.

Vintage pattern little suitcase.

Three Potato Four had a booth there! Lots of wood type blocks!

S & B hiding in the box…

E X — I also like the vintage school wall clock.

I actually have one more post from Brooklyn Flea… so see you later soon!

I just bought this vintage metal highway sign number three… I sometimes can’t help myself! I like the holes in the number, it’s like a big polka dots. I can’t wait to get it and put it up on my wall…

More numbers (and letters, too!) are available from SalvageNation etsy shop.

Continuing my search for vintage pattern inspirations… (please see here for previous post)

When I was down in Cape Cod this past weekend, I found a couple of things at Randy’s family cottage (filled with vintage goodies!):

Flowers and polka dots pattern.

and the lamp shade. I like the checkered background for the flowers.

Floral Canister Set by olivepit on Etsy — Very simple and bold cute flower graphic.

While I’ve been getting inspirations for vintage patterns, I also have found some cool vintage goods that I can use for my new office… (we are switching rooms this summer, setting up new office space very soon — hope to show some here!) I need a major re-organization and my shop stuff keeps piling up… so as we are getting new shelves, desks, etc. and I need new old stuff to not only decorate the office room, but also to make it function… and here are my finds I want to share :)

Vintage Golden Yellow Organizer:

Staplers:

Industrial Galvanized Metal Boxes:

Vintage Office File Box:

Happy Friday!
