Anyways. I share her love of old and antique items. I don't mean that shirt you still love to wear from high school, even though that's totally great too. I mean antique and vintage items from when my great-grandmother was young. I just never had any or had my own house to decorate (my tiny ass apartment 4 years ago doesn't count). We have this amazing space above our cabinets in the kitchen that was lonely and bare. For Christmas we put some twinkle lights and other holiday decor up there, which made it seem even more bare once it all came down. And I'm re-doing the kitchen anyways, so I made it my goal to find the perfect items for the space above my cabinets. This is a time that I wish I had all my stuff here, but sadly, most of it is still packed up in a crappy storage unit in Georgia.

The second store I went to was AMAZING. Legit antiques and vintage items. They played old music and had a green acres door bell that rings every time the door opens. Like, I want to work there it's so awesome (like mother, like daughter). I found so many things that I wanted, but sadly I'm not rolling in dough, so I settled with three fantastic things with a promise to go back for more. There's one more store, but I decided I shouldn't go there because I had already spent my budget for the day and I was already afraid Philip would forbid me to ever go to another antique store again. Luckily he was totally cool with my purchases.
This is how I arranged what I got. It's still a little bare, but something is better than nothing!
My mom was so proud of my choices *insert huge smile and pat on the back here*. And then she tells me that she's getting rid of some of her stuff and she's putting some of it in a box to send to me! Then she goes, "and I bought you two surprises" *excited squeal*. My mom buys the best surprises. I am anxiously awaiting my goody box. And you best believe I'll show everyone what she sends.
