Two Things I Love

I found the blog Bacwoods Fern today, who is doing "two things I love...around my home" post for bloggers to share a couple of things they love/appreciate in their homes. Sounds fun right?

I love these owl planters I got at the Alameda Antique Fair several months ago. They are pretty big and cheer me up every morning I see them in the kitchen. Now I just need to put plants in them that can survive my terrible horticulture skills.


I also love this hand carved Buddha hanging I got at a thrift store in Fresno with my sister. It's just beautiful.


Head over to Bacwoods Fern to see some other great posts.

Tick Tock

This weekend/today went by very fast for me! The Antique Fair in Alameda was yesterday. The weather was nice and sunny and there was more people there than I expected on Superbowl Sunday.

I managed to get out of there having only bought a couple of things, even though there was a lot of stuff I wish I could have bought.

One of my favorite vendors is Big Daddy's Antiques , I loved most of the things at their booth. They have a lot of amazing industrial pieces, accessories, and custom made furniture. The first three pictures are from Big Daddy's:

{I love the color of this glass}

{Cool printed burlap pillows}

{I need these drawer pulls with letters on them!}

{Who doesn't love a flowered pig?}

{One of the prettiest globes I've seen}

{Even the loading carts are pretty!}

{I bought this for $15, the guy said it was part of a clock originally.}

I also had fun hanging out with friends and watching the Superbowl. Now I've got to get caught up on my to do list for this week that I already feel a little behind on. Time flies...

Get Lost

Anthropologie has several beautiful new arrivals that are map/shipwreck inspired that I'm loving:

In my kitchen, I have a large classroom map of Africa that I got at the Alameda Antique Fair (Next one is Sunday!). Here's a photo of it collaged with a sketch I did today:
