This insane French mirror immediately had me thinking "cote de texas!" It is HUGE and pictures really don't do it justice. I think it would be awesome to build a room around this, specially a contemporary white room!
If I had an empty corner this baby would have come home in heartbeat.
Lots of pretty linens...
Tons of cool things, like this mirrored old door to the old box car below it, caught our eyes.
What? You're shocked this feathered hair piece didn't come home with me??
That cabinet has my mind racing with ideas.
Rebecca, you foxy lady, you! Glad to see you are back on the blogging scene with such a hot new look.
I don't know how many more times I have to walk past this pair of victorian crystal sconces before my willpower gives out!! After a couple years of stalking them I may have to give in to the $300 price tags soon....
"I am too late for tea-time to take a photo"
These would be such a whimsical touch on a coffee table or side table!
I NEEDED THIS!!! But it was already sold...
Ok, I NEED THIS too!! a 8 foot harvest table converted to a coffee table. I just LOVE it!
Genius!!! Hanging old vent covers as art!
And of course, no treasure hunting excursion would be complete without a trip to HomeGoods... As soon as I walked in and saw these chairs I was smitten! If only I had room, and no kitchen chairs, and an actual, finished kitchen.
I forsee a REALLY fun project this summer once I gather some driftwood at the cabin!!
Can you believe that all I came home with was that frame and a blue crown jar??? I think I must be getting sick............
Well, I hope you enjoyed my first every attempt at video blogging! I promise I will try and improve on that front~
Toodles friends!
Home Goods gets me every time. I LOVE those chairs!
ReplyDeleteMaking videos is SO hard, and you did great! I only share mine with very close family members because I always end up sounding so dumb :) Yours, however, was adorable. I hope you keep doing video posts! (Just some fyi on the technology front for when you're ready to make the switch - I have a "flip" camcorder and LOVE how easy it is to use!)
ReplyDeleteI loved the video, it's always fun to see and hear bloggers as they are :) I puffy heart that harvest table.
ReplyDeleteYou must buy those sconces! They are fabulous and would look incredible in your home. Can't you talk them down? I have 3 pieces of furniture you would love and would love to know what I should do with them? Wish you lived in Utah and could take them or give some advice. Can I send photos? Will you look and advise?
ReplyDeleteomg the video was TOO cute! More please! I want a Holly Show!! But please lets hang out and try on funky hats, LOVE them ALL!! My favorite part of antiquing!
ReplyDeleteMy first time on your blog.
ReplyDeleteThe video is great. Congrats on even figuring that out...you are much more tech savvy than many of us (uh me). Also, love the grates on the wall, the mirrored door, the sconce and much more! Thank you for sharing...we should exchange links!

Love the video, thanks for sharing. I think you need those sconces!
ReplyDeleteIf you ladies hit the Antique mall on a Saturday or Sunday, let me know!! I'd love to join you!
ReplyDeleteHowever, I now know why I have a hrad time finding stuff... the two of you are heading out during the week! :)
That looks like a wonderful day, out with a friend nose deep in junk. What fun!
ReplyDeleteya know, I've recently come to the realization that 99.9% of the time that I go Antiquing & Thrifting, I come home feeling so heartbroken due to the simple fact that I still live with my parents, which means I have no place to put all of the things that I see beautiful potential in. It's so terribly heartbreaking.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun day ! Great job with the video, you are tech savvy !
ReplyDeleteoh holly you are so cute!
ReplyDeleteLoved the Video. And don't be coy-you know you look fetching in those hats.
ReplyDeleteCheers

Loved the video--super cute! Random question---did you use a curling iron to make your hair wavy?
ReplyDeleteLoved your video! Very cute and fun to watch. It is great when bloggers put them selves out there! Great finds. Love the chairs from Home Goods. I may have to run out now and find them!
ReplyDelete~jamilyn
Maybe there was tooooo much great stuff that it was overwhelming, hence only the frame and jar? I love how you post ideas about things you see even if you don't buy them!
ReplyDeletelol -- so good to put a real voice to you! You guys are hilarious! ;)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the video blog! You guys are too funny...and the "hat fashion show" is something my sister and I would definitely do...and actually have in fact! Oh, and I really LOVE those chairs from Home Goods.
ReplyDeletei'm loving the bowling pins!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a lot of fun! I love the sconces, they are so fabulous! I would offer less for them, its worth a try.
ReplyDeletei saw go for it with those sconces! so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt's fun to see and hear bloggers as they are. I had no idea you were so goofy! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI am lovin' those sconces, too! They would be a perfect regal touch to a plain wall.
Hey I am new to blog world and I just want to say your blog is beautiful. I just want to let you know that I will be following you. I can't wait to see what else you post.

Had a blast yesterday Holly!!! The video turned out great!!! Glad I didn't need a tetanus shot for my thumb lol!! I think we should have a tea party soon with some fun hats...but we just know now that we cant shop in that collection from the lady with the mini head lol!
ReplyDeleteLoved this video and post! I loved getting to see more of your personality.
ReplyDeleteRead you all the time but haven't said HI until now. Great video, what you need to get is a FLIP camera...shots videos and then plugs right into your computer, easy peazy and fits into your purse! Got mine for Christmas and love it. Love those scones...need some!
ReplyDeleteLoved the video!! Just to cute!
ReplyDeleteYou're too funny! I love that harvest table!
ReplyDeletejealous!
ReplyDelete1. that you two are so darn lovely and bff's yet live sooooo far away from me.
2. that you found such uh-mazing things on your excursion.
3. that you're both so pretty. did i already say that? :)
glad to see that the busy bee Rebecca will be posting again soon... counting on that new year's promise lady. :)
You saw some lovely things, I want that coffee table!!! Gotta love the HomeSense/Goods...........the hubs bought me a slightly different version of those chairs (mine have arms)this Christmas 'cause I couldn't stop drooling over them.
ReplyDeletehey holly...i frequent your blog but rarely comment...however the video totally cracked me up. good for you for braving it! looks like you had a great day. i, like most of the other commenters (hey, did i just make up a word??) think you should go and buy those sconces. gorgeous! and i have also been sniffing around those chairs at homesense...they would look silly in my house, but i check them out anyway! they are so very 2010! cheers to you & rebecca. love your blog
ReplyDeleteHomeGoods is my drug of choice. I have to go at least once a month to get my "fix." My husband hates to go with me b/c I have to look at EVERY aisle to make sure I don't miss anything. By the way, I love your blog, and check it almost daily. I wish I lived in Canada so that I could buy some of your stuff. I haven't found anything like it here in Tennessee.
ReplyDeleteSo fun to come along with you on your shopping trip via bloggy land!
ReplyDeleteyou've never texted before??? stop it!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog and I am so excited you shared a video post! Getting to see your personality makes me like you even more! : )
ReplyDeleteAwww thanks everyone! I am so glad you tolerated my first attempt~ "You like me! You really like me!" LOL
ReplyDeleteTracey, I just use a 1.5 inch barrel iron on medium heat to get loose waves~ Really fast (and easy!).
I think we need to host a local shopping trip with all my Alberta gals in the very near future!!! Let me know if you want to participate and we will try and organize something for the beginning of Summer!
You never sent a text message? Wow!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute video. I was just going to comment on what tools you used to curl your hair, but I see Ive been beaten to it!
ReplyDeleteYou are so cute--even making a the wild-black-bird-exploding-in-air-and-landed-on-my-head look so chic! Ha! :) I love an afternoon with a friend antiquing. Hilarity usually ensues, huh? :)
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Love the video!
ReplyDeleteHi! I love your blog, they are very enjoyable to read. However, I would love to know what you are saying in your video? You see, I am Deaf. So you don't mind typing in what you said in your video?
ReplyDeleteOne of your fans,
