Mister Freedom
Why have I never heard of Mister Freedom before? And I am only now aware of it because of a bandana that I spotted on J.Crew. The branding alone of this company makes me immediately fall in love but the products? From vintage items to clothing, seriously who could resist? I am seriously wowed. You need to go gawk at this stuff like I am. Read More
Finds
Well, what a weekend. Camping, shopping, browsing antiques, and of course I couldn’t help but buy a few things. I love pinups, so I had to buy these beauties, and they were a 1/4 of the price from what the price tag listed. SCORE! and how about some old railroad tin signs. Very small only a few inches wide. Unused postage stamps anyone? Yes, please! Great designs, some are from the US and some are international. I especially love these Special... Read More
Vintage Maps
I decided to take a very imprompu trip to an antiques store today, and came across these maps for a second time. This time I had to get them. The smaller maps have a lovely black/aqua/orange color palette and the large one was printed in 1936 and is in fabulous condition. Most of them are of Canada but I also bought one of New York with a great illustrated map (upper right on the last photo), but I have no clue when it was printed. I’m not... Read More

Industrial Is In
I don’t know about you but I’ve noticed the integration of industrial-style items into home decor. Is it just me? I’ve picked some industrial-type things for my new home office and that’s particularly true when it comes to office supplies. Something about mechanical/industrial items makes me feel more at home. I bought three metal automatic stamps, a stamp carousel (for just $2.50!) and a crazy-weird stapler (for just 25 cents... Read More
