so i ran to the local antique shop for something to do
and
to gain a bit of inspiration
that always seems to dissolve during the month of february
not my feet
or my boots
but
i would have bought them in a heartbeat if i wore a size 5
this is my favorite new sweater
created by a local artist who takes old sweaters
cuts them up and wha-la
makes new ones
~
i love her talent

i hope all of you and your loved ones
have the best weekend ever
{ps....thanks mom and dad}

ReplyDeleteohh thrifting & antiquing sooth me so much, especially when i need a break... thanks for taking me along on your little journey :) did you get anything... ohh it is so hard to leave with out taking something with, but now that i photograph more often, i seem to be able to!

Nice job on finding interesting subjects! Especially that cute thin girl in the sweater!!!
ReplyDeleteOoh, don't you love talented people who take what someone would throw away and turn it into something, not only beautiful, but useful? Love being with you on your shopping day.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! I love that store, your photos and your sweater! And also the boots you're wearing! :-)
ReplyDeleteI am seriously in love with your sweater...it looks like Anthropologie! Does she sell on-line? Great photos too...looks like a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love that sweater. I also thought it looked like Anthropologie. Now a visit to the local antique mall/shop is always something that makes my heart sing. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSome great shots with your wonderful eye. I've had mixed reactions when using my camera in a store. I was looking at your outfit and thinking how much I like the way you dress. I thought you were all layered until you mentioned the sweater. Very cool!
ReplyDeleteI love all the shots, love your sweater. you have such a wonderful style. hugs, have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteoooh, those BOOOOTS!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe sweater is awesome too, very creative, love the colors -
And I love those vintage sheep too, I don't know why...
terrific place to go for inspiration
ReplyDeleteand you certainly made the most of it.
great shots (and great sweater)
I love love love that layered look! You look so artistic. :)
ReplyDeleteOh what a store...and that sweater is just great! What a neat idea to take old and make new...love that!
ReplyDeleteHave a beautiful weekend!!!!
You're so irrepressibly cute!
ReplyDeleteFirst, I couldn't agree more -- antique stores are wonderful spots for a needed dose of inspiration! Love the aging technique you do to enhance the photos.
ReplyDeleteAnd your sweater is indeed wonderful and you wear it perfectly. It's fun and funky and happy. What more could you want?
What a wonderful shop..I want to go..Also love the sweater.
ReplyDeleteI want the green glass bottles and the heart-shaped cookie cutters and those BOOTS! and your sweater. Not necessarily in that order...
ReplyDeleteLoved this. Your photos are well, delicious actually. The rug that the boots are on? Looks a little like my living room rug. It's been here in the house since the 1960's. There is a matching stair-runner up the back stairs and along the second floor landing.
ReplyDeleteWhere can I get one of those cool sweaters? You are a total fashionista.
Beth, That last photo has given me an inspiration of what to do with my Mother's old costume jewelry! I love the antique photos you took. And - I LOVE the old/new sweater. Great weekend to you and your Family.
ReplyDeleteI, also loved the sweater and the boots!!!Does she sell on line??? Love the pictures as well...someday I hope to have time to do that...Enjoy you weekend as well. Beth
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun day! Love the sweater, so creative, does she have a shop in town?
ReplyDeleteI love the sweater and the pictures. I have a marble jar just like that.
ReplyDeleteOh thanks for the inspiration on this cold and windy day. The photos are delightful--and so is your sweater.
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking us on you fun trip. And I love that sweater - does she have a site?
ReplyDeleteI have a sweater like that, made by a local artisan out of old sweaters...but yours looks soo much more stylish I have to say! Love all your shots at the antique shop!
ReplyDeleteLove the sweater, and it looks like you found some great inspiration! Happy Weekend, February is almost over...

ReplyDeletei love this post and you my sweet friend!! you are just so darn cool! xox
ReplyDeleteWhat an inspiration and it it free. I love old objects from the past. They pick up the personality of the owners. Fun. Ditto on the boots somewhere above.
ReplyDeleteNice sweater...nice photos too.
ReplyDeleteA true lady after my own heart!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE antiquing! And from the
looks of your photos, you were
in a real jewel of a place. I

;)
Looks like you found buried treasure at the antique shop. And - I love the concept of your new/old sweater. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your sweater! Gosh, you have a great figure. I hope my 8-pound-to-lose diet works...
ReplyDeleteI need to find a shop like that one.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos - and yes, an amazing sweater!!!
ReplyDeleteyou, my girl ... are too funky fun!
ReplyDeletewhat a sweet little shop filled with delights ...
that nice little shortie fur coat behind you in
your full length shot is pretty cute!
i will only wear the vintage ones, so the little
creatures can be 're-loved' : )
and isn't that always the case? the coolest boots
i come across never fit this cinderella!
and yes, i love the talent of your friend ...
awesome creation!
cheers ~

What an awesome sweater! Love your photos especially the jar of what looks like threaded bobbins. So do you usually find places like that receptive to having photos taken? Guess I've been too much of a scaredy cat to ask.
