Since returning to Missouri, Emma and I have been working 12 hour days preparing for the new shop and updating the website. This morning Em had a hair appointment so I leaped the chance for a little bit of just-for-fun thrift shopping. Our new shop inventory is beyond full and I don't really 'need' to be buying anything, it's just my favorite way to relax! It was a REALLY good day. Here's what I found… A beautiful aqua typewriter.
Pretty Striped canvas for me (thinking Halloween themed plush foxes?!) and mustard yellow melmac plates for Emma (the perfect size for a cupcake!).
A pretty amazing dress… I can't wait to try this in a shoot next week! This find will go in the shop since it doesn't fit me (haha… i would totally keep it! i'm bad). It's sooo pretty.
And the only type of hangers I love, besides classic wood hangers. Finding these always makes my day! They're so charming & granny chic!
Hope you have a lovely weekend! I'm planning to catch up on internet work, move furniture and deep clean our new space with Emma & Doren. We've gotten so so much done in these past two weeks, but it's still sorta crazy on the eyes. I have a feeling that in the next week it will start to 'come together' and I can share many more photos from the inside. Happy weekend! elsie

You can totally make those hangers. So so simple to make!
I have that exact typewriter. Unfortunately mine doesn’t work, but that didn’t keep me from buying it for $6. My girl scout leader tried to teach me how to make hangers like that. I wish I had paid closer attention!
That typewriter is so amazing! I need to find one of those!
Great finds — happy weekending!
I used to have that exact same typewriter. I loved it. Then in a big purge of my worldly possesions when was I was preparing to move across the country, I gave it away. I really wish I hadn’t. Someday I’ll come across another, I hope.
i have the same typewriter! isn’t it beautiful?
