0 Speaking of Awesome Brass Lamps | Palm Springs Vintage Finds

Last month my mom and I spent a long weekend in Palm Springs to celebrate her birthday.  We had a great time doing some vintage shopping, and came across {and brought home a few!} really great things...

Those brass lamps were awesome.  So was the giant vintage danish desk they were styled with. They really would look great in so many rooms. I wanted that vintage constellation globe SO BADLY.  Sadly it was far more expensive than I could rationalize paying.  One day... 

The styling of these vintage suitcases was so so good...

I mean both that chair and that stand mirror were ridiculously good...

My mom treated herself to that awesome vintage mid century Danish table/planter.  I can't wait to get all styled up in our house.

And finally, this swan doily. This might be my favorite thing I've ever found in a vintage store. Also this is probably the only time you will ever hear me say that I love a doily.  I didn't buy it, but I LOVED it.  

2 Rose Bowl Flea Market

We went to the Rose Bowl Flea Market this weekend...it was hot and busy but there were lots of fun finds...and we came home with a few! The vintage science kit kind of blew my mind.  That awesome box is filled with vintage sciency-things...so you know I bought it.  Also got some great vintage black card catalogue drawers, which fit perfectly into an Expedit (photos to come). Brit got a great vintage Sunset magazine all about family camping, it has great diagrams and photos.  I really wanted that vintage black lamp to match my yellow one and that triangle cage thing...but I refrained.

5 More Living Room Inspiration

I seriously cannot stop thinking about that vintage stool....does anyone know anything about it?  I NEED it!

Also, we've been eyeing those shelves from Ikea that A Merry Mishap has in her living room.  I think we need them for our entry area.  

Found thanks to SFGirlByBay and A Merry Mishap.

Update 1: Thank you to the anonymous commenter!  The stool is Arne Jacobsen for Fritz Hansen.

Update 2:  I got one!!!

0 Cork...

So my dad has this office where he wraps fishing rods, that we call the man cave.  I hang out there with him for an hour or two most days until my mom gets home and we have dinner together.  It's strange and wonderful being at home with my parents.  This is the first time it has been just the three of us since my sister was born almost 20 years ago. But I digress....

So, my dad wraps these fishing rods which means he tediously wraps threads in patterns around the rods, puts on the guides, and epoxy.  There are about 50,000 other steps involved too.  It's tedious, but its actually kinda awesome and artistic. He also has all these vintage rods and supplies...yesterday my job was to move all these vintage cork handles into an new box.  I lined them all up and they looked awesome.

It's too bad I'm so smart in a way, I would have been really fantastic at a very repetitive like factory job or something. I find repetition and organization very relaxing. Haha...
