Another fun (and very hot) Liberty Antique Festival brought booths filled with vintage goodies and delights. This year did not disappoint, but I did spot more novelty & decor items versus big ticket pieces. I also purchased a vintage Sterling fan in my favorite color and it actually works! Are you ready to see the rest?
A great selection of pitchers and dishware. The cube design...love!
Trend alert - ships, ships and more ships. There was a ton of vintage ships and sea-inspired accessories.
Stylish retro briefcase hiding beside an old dartboard.
Brass and glass novelty items like an adorable bird knocker, a cute bee used for holding honey and tree stump pots. Dear Anthropologie, please hire me to find more goodies like these...thanks.
Vintage Christmas village!
I saw several variations on bold striped felt blankets - hello snuggly fall weather. Also, a large collection of horse ribbons and pastel colored furniture. I hope you enjoyed this year's Liberty round-up...now I can't wait until the next show in April!

Hello, hello...yes, I am still here! I know it's been awhile, but I needed a little blogosphere break. Easing into the fall schedule hasn't been as easy as I had anticipated (I think my brain is still in summer). Plus, it feels like my visual mind is in sleep mode because all I want to do is think. Just think. Normally I'm like a sponge soaking up the visual world, but for the last couple of weeks all I've wanted to do is just be with my thoughts. Call it a visual vacation...call it musing...call it doing nothing. Either way, I needed the break. I've always been big on contemplation, but I found that after my Mom passed away is was easier to turn on the TV or get lost in something else instead of facing my thoughts. I'm slowly realizing it's important to embrace and be with those thoughts (good or bad) than to set them aside. It's painful, terrifying and empowering at the same time. How do you face your thoughts?
