That's right. I bought my first piece of furniture, which basically means that I am now a big girl by default. I found this little beauty at an antique store in the bustling metropolis of Little Mountain (my hometown) back in November. Being an unemployed college student, I didn't have adequate funds until graduation money started flowing in months later. Additional motivation to purchase came after the ladies who work at the store informed me that another person had been scoping out MY chair earlier today. So I pounced. And I have zero regrets. Other finds included a lobster pin, books, and a vintage dress I would give my left arm for:
My trips to antique and thrift stores are the equivalent of Audrey Hepburn's obsession with Tiffany & Co. in Breakfast at Tiffany's. I encourage anyone to step outside the retail box and scout out some hole in the wall shop. You might be surprised at what you find.
Happy antiquing,

we were both born in the wrong decade, for sure. i found a hand made off-white cotton suit at a thrift store couple of days ago. i want to sleep in it...maybe even shower in it. - p.b
