Gone Antiquing Nº7

Getting back into the swing of things here on the blog with a new antique round-up of recent finds I’ve been bookmarking. If it weren’t for the fact that I actually have zero space for more antique lighting, I would have already stanched this chunky marble table lamp—with a fresh white empire shade, she’ll be a beauty…and under $100! Anyways, every time I dive into the endless hunt for beautiful objects online or wander through the quiet, treasure-filled halls of an antique shop, I find myself swept up in a wave of nostalgia for my old online vintage shop. The thought of reviving it keeps lingering in the back of my mind. I don’t know if I have the mental bandwidth just yet, but each passing day draws me a little closer to the idea. Especially with a clearer vision of my style now and a more refined taste, I think it could be special! I just loved finding pieces to add to the shop, packaging up those orders, and even the printed materials or little details like the tags or tape on the boxes… it was so fun and I miss it.

But I digress! I must say a big thank you to everyone who has supported my holiday gift guide—whether by shopping, sharing, or sending me a kind note. It was a true labor of love, and knowing the hours spent curating it have brought you joy is the best feeling. A handful of you even asked about printed versions for purchase (what a sweet thought!). While I don’t have any to offer this year—just one printed copy for my own keepsake—it’s sparked an idea. Perhaps a little printed booklet someday? Something tangible to bring this cozy corner of the internet to life, to inspire in a way that’s as tactile as it is visual. It’s a project taking shape in my mind the more I think about it—something to scheme and dream about.

For now, I’m content to think of new projects on the horizon and savor this space for the creative escape it offers. Here’s to more beautiful discoveries and inspiration ahead. Until then, happy antiquing—click items below to browse and enjoy!

Gone Antiquing No.7

Beautiful Things Worth Noting No.14

Hi friends! Hope everyone had a lovely weekend. It was a bit of a reset for me as I had just gotten back from my mom’s bay house on Thursday. So spent most of mine cleaning and doing laundry, plus a bit of rearranging my bedroom. Always feels good to freshen things up! It’s certainly feeling like summer here in DC. I instantly feel like I need a shower anytime I step foot outside. And while I love to frolic around the city and walk my favorite neighborhoods, this weather has me wanting to stay inside from the heat. But it’s a good excuse for me to knock out a bunch of blog posts for you all.

Now that my little site updates and clean up have been made, I also added back in my other shop pages! So things may look a bit different over here. I’m planning to work on bulking these shop pages up over the next week! Along with starting to use LTK to share random roundups. Going to be working on adding a lot of posts there—including my apartment rooms that you can shop. And may also plan to add blog posts there too if it makes sense to do so.

Anyways, I’ve been bookmarking a lot of finds over the past couple weeks and have been anxious to share them here. From dreamy, white closet additions to antique home finds, these things really caught my eye. More to come!

Worth Noting

Seashell Collection

Sally sells seashells by the seashore. I simply cannot get enough. If you follow me in real life, you know I collect shells to layer throughout my home and have a few shell-detailed decor and natural oceanic curiosities laying about. I’m endlessly inspired by their textures, colors, patterns, and shapes. Since I’m often so drawn to everything of the sort, I thought a little roundup would be fun for the blog. A few beautiful pieces to wear or use or decorate with.
