Good morning!
Popping in to share a little vintage + handmade shop before I give you a sneak peek of my closet later today. If you’re looking for a new vintage shop to follow for clothes, accessories, and jewelry, check out Banjo and Bone. I like the jewelry especially, which is a mix of untouched vintage items and new handmade pieces with a vintage feel.
I chose a few of my favorites, and I snuck in that pair of pants at the top left because they are awesome! Wish I could pull off an outfit like that.
Visit Banjo and Bone on Etsy to view more vintage wearables and more.
After a long couple of weeks, I am ready to put my feet up and just relax this weekend. Too bad we still have no furniture in our apartment (movers are apparently coming Monday with all of our stuff).
So for now, I’ll just have to daydream about owning one of these chairs from Vintage Renewal and hope that I have something, anything, to sit on by early next week.
P.S. Last call for the new exhibition is tonight at 10pm EST. Submit your work here if you’re interested.
Hope you have an amazing weekend.

It is so hard to find clothes locally (well in my old place in Jacksonville anyway), that you won’t find on every other girl in town. Which is probably why vintage clothing shops are so appealing to me. There is something about (good) vintage clothing shops that just make my mouth water.
So, if you are always hunting for the perfect polka dot top or warn in pair of pants that no on else will have, its time to start scouring your town and/or the internet for vintage.

This morning I was looking through April’s vintage housewares stash at The Gingham Owl and found so many things (she’s literally been thrifting since the 80s). I just have to share them with you…
I am thinking I could use these pop bottles as a vase, this red lantern, and pretty much any of her photographs would look good in my new apartment (looks like I’ll be in Seattle this Friday! can’t wait to see our new place). And actually, the more I look at those bottles, the more I realize they MUST become mine. What do you think?

It has been a very busy week for me, and I could really use a big ole chair to rest my tired legs. Now, you should probably know that my legs (and my design brain) are pretty picky about where they rest. So, this seemingly simple task can prove challenging at times.
Luckily, I know exactly where to go to find chairs that are right up my alley: CoMod!
I just love this shop…great vintage furniture and accessories. All online (and on Etsy no less, so it’s incredibly familiar and easy to buy). Love that.
I am going to head out for the weekend and wish you a very restful next couple of days. I’ll see you back here bright and early Monday.
Laura Mazurek is an eclectic vintage lover with an old soul. She’s translated her love of vintage treasures with that perfect aged patina into a fresh line she calls Violet Bella. As she says, “My line of jewelry, clothing and art speaks volumes of who I am. I am a lover of nature, a free spirit, an old soul and a constant creator. I adore vintage materials, granny squares, birds and leaves, patina, old keys and found objects. “
The handmade goodies in Violet Bella will speak to your inner bohemian flower child while still being completely wearable and accessible. For a handmade line created by one artist, there’s an overwhelming amount of selection, too! I had to narrow my favorites down to three: this cute sailor girl necklace, a brass owl necklace, and a pretty top made from a vintage pillowcase!
