these are a few of my favorite things

creep

some people…are the perfect enablers. You know the friend you always know to call when you want them to say “Yes! Of course you NEED that $800 light fixture that has no place in your home. It’s perfect! If you don’t buy it I will” Well, I have a couple of friends like that and one of them is Jamie Laubhan-Oliver. She loves estate sales more than I do and the girl is like a heat-seeking missile for unsual and fabulous finds with impeccable taste. Today is your lucky day. Jamie, her talented husband Larry and photographer Elizabeth Lavin have pulled together their treasure hunting abilities to form a curious collection that spans from charming to chilling. Beautifully selected pieces, gorgeous photographs, fair prices, it’s hard to resist – Two Art Directors and a Photographer via Etsy.

    Loved the pix. Had to laugh as I have a cow bone just like that except mine has a black line in the middle. It got that from being tied to the travel rack on top of my VW bus so it could bleach out. Found it in NC on a trip to Florida in the early 70’s! I will never sell it-got lots of comments as we drove through the south with that thing!
