Sidewalk Saturday 3/27

This Saturday was full of fun finds!

I went to the San Francisco Antique Mall for the first time, and found this really cool reverse painting on glass I wish I could have bought:


And these antique valve handles were pretty awesome too:


After the antique mall, my friend Alicia and I headed to the Alemany Farmer's Market which was nearby:





I bought some fresh strawberries, but didn't get any flowers this time.

Here's some pictures of an amazing graffiti wall near the farmer's market:




I love the color combos in these, especially the last one!

And last but not least, I found this stencil near Folsom St while walking to the car after stopping at a garage sale:


How's your weekend going so far?

Pretty Bird

I bought a birdcage at the antique fair awhile ago, and while it looks pretty with nothing in it I'm always trying to think of something to display in there. Here's a couple of ideas I found:

1. Books {I also love the hat}

2. Candles
{here}

3. Flowers

4. Light bulbs

5. Real birds that match your decor.

6. Paper birds{here: includes before/after shots}


7. Fruit. Preferably fake fruit in a vintage cage, or real fruit in a new cage. {here}


8. Teacups {here}


My other ideas include love letters, paper butterflies, paper hearts, a string of tiny bunting (which is cute because bunting is also a type of bird... I know I'm a nerd), jewelry, moss/terrarium plants, hanging photographs (preferably Polaroids), and pom poms.

Which one do you like best? Any other ideas?
