In a 🌎 full of ugly, overpriced merch...for professional teams, concerts, events, etc...why not go for a cute, stylish, unique piece of fan gear on a high quality upcycled item from a brand you love? First piece is on a truly vintage 4T denim bomber but swipe through for 🦅 gear on MiniBoden, Free People, Zara, Hanna Anderson, Talbots, Gap, & More. See stories...tons still available/ready to be finished by 2 pm Saturday 2/11. Has been such a fun week in Philly and although my fingers are tired, 💕 seeing the city so 🔥 up and folks across board excited and happy about the same thing.

'Tis the damn season as would say for all the red things...vintage Escada/Carlisle/Izod....Footmates/Neiman Marcus/Hanna Andersson...don't sleep on the second hand market for all your holiday wardrobe needs from adult to child .... DM for details on any pieces, all are currently available!

Happy Friday from the plaster child, southwestern theme cachepots, ceramic elephant, and 33 pieces of Talavera that are living rent free on my dining label. Good thing I'm ok with eating at my desk or on the couch. DM for prices and details! All available for sale and selling the Talavera in partial sets. I ship nationally.

Stop running out to homegoods, target, Macy's, Michael's, etc when you need a new vase. I can nearly guarantee you will find unique pieces at a fraction of the price second hand at your local goodwill or favorite thrift. These early 1900s aqua mason jars and stoneware vase made beautiful vessels for 💐 arrangement for a friend's party. Never know what you're going to find at places like on a random weeknight (they're open until 7 pm! 🤩)

Today is as good a day as ever to post a final "reveal" of the Buy Nothing table and Goodwill chairs I refinished for outdoor use in my garden. All were used last night for their inaugural dinner, a BBQ with friends, and tonight I'm having my family over for BBQ 2.0. This was the biggest and most involved project I've ever taken on. Learned a lot (merci, Google and YouTube), and admittedly while I wanted to abandon the project at various points, I am very happy I saw it through. Scroll through to see before and after of the patio, table, and chairs!

DO: be prepared to spend -- on good products and tools (especially brushes), make sure you are using the correct materials and combination of materials (ex. acrylic v latex paint, what varnish can go on top certain paint or stain), read all the labels and instructions ahead of starting (pay attention to recommended dry times), check the weather forecast for rain/humidity (humidity is going to make drying take longer and rain will ruin things if coats are not dry and get wet), use paint/varnish stripper (still need to sand, however this will save a lot of time)

DON'T: RUSH, default to whatever material supplies to you have on hand (especially paint) without checking if it's the right material for the job, glob paint on to try and fix imperfections/uneven spots (sand, sand, sand!), use the same grade of sanding material for everything (depending on how much sanding is required, you should gradually use higher and higher grades or you are going to create more work for yourself), expect perfection (there is a reason professionals charge what they do, it really is an art and takes years of experience to really master the craft)

Beautiful studio pottery and fun, quirky vintage...what more could a second hand shopper want on a Wednesday?! DM to purchase.
