a day in the life: thrifting, styling and photo editing

<br />What you choose to do with your precious days off really reflect the person you are, don't they? Yesterday, I went out thrifting. There is nothing like poking around in a dusty shop full of vintage loveliness to make my heart sing! I haven't been out in ages, and I found a bunch of small things for the house as well as some pieces for a friend who is moving and needs a bit of staging done prior to listing her home.<br /><br />Our bedroom is in flux mode right now - on the weekend we moved our bed frame to the guest room, because I am going to make a new upholstered version - pics will follow :) I'm planning a to incorperate "dressing cabinet", to store and display my favourite accessories, and so need a few bits for jewelry display. Enter this charming little tiered - tray brass and laquer number - perfect for the jewelry I'm wearing everyday. As you can see, it's already settled into it's new home...<br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHdyIW0bIuawwc0rIVt1iGIAlxNNV3oPVR-JKvJFSw5YHxzjPVaJMhGYEbGYyCd69GxZR_YbwjqVk81YgDdV10PlEZk9euvTAhw3YztOMd2u1iwqudV1FaKK0rXXbYsAbvFJ5W0H4evSc/s1600/Screen+Shot+2012-04-18+at+8.55.00+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHdyIW0bIuawwc0rIVt1iGIAlxNNV3oPVR-JKvJFSw5YHxzjPVaJMhGYEbGYyCd69GxZR_YbwjqVk81YgDdV10PlEZk9euvTAhw3YztOMd2u1iwqudV1FaKK0rXXbYsAbvFJ5W0H4evSc/s1600/Screen+Shot+2012-04-18+at+8.55.00+AM.png" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdFeQWoeh0DsMw7t5HZdlFYMVkNCwmDlouYE8vfzyMWhcQBZo76840gC7DQenoxqGTvQDX-oHJ9fHG_v95FZgdyVYIGqTF1ONNeZEOEVfzsMqlPty9Ot7jvqc-iSm16k4g5RIOFuji-k8/s1600/Screen+Shot+2012-04-18+at+8.52.42+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdFeQWoeh0DsMw7t5HZdlFYMVkNCwmDlouYE8vfzyMWhcQBZo76840gC7DQenoxqGTvQDX-oHJ9fHG_v95FZgdyVYIGqTF1ONNeZEOEVfzsMqlPty9Ot7jvqc-iSm16k4g5RIOFuji-k8/s1600/Screen+Shot+2012-04-18+at+8.52.42+AM.png" /></a></div><br /><br /><br />I bought it, brought it home, and immediately cleaned it, styled up this little display and took photos!<br />Please tell me I'm not the only one :)  x am<br /><br /><br /><br />
