A lovely friend of mine recently introduced me to a vintage warehouse. This place is huge, filled to the brim of amazing vintage finds and freezing in the winter but oh so worth it. It is extremely hard to not spend at least a couple (and by a couple... I really mean at least three) hours wandering up and down the isles and it is even harder to not walk out without at least one purchase.
Mason jars, children's books, lamps, chairs, clothes, glass bottles, tea cups, film cameras, pretty tins, clocks, prints, frames, globes - you will find all of these things.
One of my purchases (of many) were several little American matchbooks, decades old - purely for design and typography inspiration.
The last two photographs are of my friend Alissa carrying out her sweet (and I must add cheap) find - furnished with a mustard seat cover... could this be any better?

Why oh why does this have to be on the other side off the world? I saw many things in those pictures that I NEED! Bianca you must go shopping for me a send me that adorable blue clock! =)
ReplyDeleteAww, is there anything like this is in Pasadena? America always seems to have a lot more lovely vintage things (well it seems that way on Etsy) - a lot of the store holders that I spoke to go to the States once or twice a year to source their vintage items.
DeleteThere were so many adorable clocks. I especially loved this blue one because of the shape and the typography : )
Nothing like this in Maryland that I know of. We have lots of antique stores but you sure pay for what you want.
DeleteI know what you mean - most antique stores I will not even go in because I don't really like window shopping ; )
Deletei can spend hours here B!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHaha tell me about it!
DeleteSeriously the first time I went, I think I was there hmm four hours.. ; )
The place looks really lovely and you captured them beautifully. Great blog :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Fransisca : )
DeleteI love your blog - beautiful photographs : )
What a find Bianca!!! I could easily spend a few hours there myself! Next child free day - I might have to take a trip! Your photos capture it so beautifully too.
ReplyDeleteI know! Heidi, Alissa and I went together and it was myself and Heidi's first time - we spent hours there ; )
DeleteYou definitely should, I think you would love it.
Thanks so much, Emma : )
