Found Vintage Style

Loving these vintage finds available at Found Vintage Style. I like the silver plated cream & sugar set used as vases. They are classic, yet not too fancy. Wouldn't they be a nice touch on a mantel or desk?

Sorry to be brief, but I'm feeling sickly today. Everyone is sick at work and I am a magnet to other people's sickness. I am NOT down with O.P.S. (other people's sickness). Ok, the cough medicine must really be kicking in now because I'm referencing an early 90's song from Naughty by Nature.

OH...but big news...IKEA comes to North Carolina! Apparently there was lots of freaking out, hours of waiting and even people camping out for sales. This is HUGE for us. I can't wait to go and buy cheap bookcases. Recession...what?

I'll be back in the groove soon...what's up on your end of the world?

  4. I love the cream and sugar set {especially as vases}.
    Ikea...yay for you. A tip: wait a week or so before going. I went to ours on opening weekend and it was packed like sardines. : ) Once things settle down, you're going to love having one near you.

    Hope you feel better soon. ~Suzanne

  17. O.P.S!!! haha hah!!! that is so funny!!!! sorry to laugh at that, and i hope you feel better soon. :) :(

    and congrats on getting an ikea in your neck of the woods. they have some cool stuff and most is actually AFFORDABLE!!!! i hope they have a good parking situation, as the one in burbank is HORRID and a huge deterrent to shopping there (kind of hard to explain, but you can't park near ikea and if you buy stuff that is heavy you better bring a partner that can go get your car while you wait with your stuff in the loading area -- LAME)!

  18. Oh dear, I hope you feel much better soon! Then you can journey into Ikea, which is like the Disneyland of furniture stores to me :)

  35. oh.. i love ikea. you just have to find your "ikea zen" before going. the ikea zen keeps you calm as children run past you screaming... and people hit you with their carts as they try and see what you are looking at.

    oh.. and eat before going - man are those stores huge!
