LOVE, LOVE, LOVE MY NEW VINTAGE GUCCI SCARF

This awesome vintqage Gucci scarf resides above my dressing table. I found it at a warehouse sale of an antique dealer. As you can somewhat  see from the last photo it was amongst quite an assortmant of other dusty "treasures". It was behind a stack of stuff with only the yellow border showing. I had to contain my excitement when Jeff the owner of all this stuff pulled it out, framed well and ready to go. Now the bugs and mushrooms are mine all mine. Is it not amazing how much better it looks in its new abode?

Happy hunting~Tracy

SEA SHELLS IN PHILLY, WHO KNEW?

I just spent a week moving our daughter from Boston to Philadelphia for grad school. What a wonderful and historically rich city. In between unpacking and shopping for necessities we found time explore. We went to the Museum of Fine Art(remember Rocky running the steps?) boathouse row, a guided tour(a family friend being the guide)of the historical district and of course ate a Philly cheesesteak! I also was able to sneak out and do a little treasure hunting.  What I found was Phantastic Phinds just outside the city in Erdenheim. As you may guess ph replaces the letter f in many names around the Philly.  What a cute little place it was, owned by a young couple about to have their 1st child who started the business out of their garage!

What I found was this vintage shell frame with a classic ship print, perfect for a powder room or little boys room. It also fit nicely in my suitcase!
