Down here at the pawn shop...

This is one of my favorite little pawn shops ever. It's not even close to your typical pawn shop, which is probably why I like it so much. You seriously never know what you'll find next in this place. They do kids stuff, clothes and toys, some music and video games.. But it doesn't stop there!

I've found Vintage stacking dolls, Designer Purses, fun old toys, and what I go there for the most: Vintage Jewelry! I don't know how they find it all, but I've purchased some amazing pieces of jewelry in here!

The other day I was there with my friend (It's right next door to a wonderful little cafe', how can we resist?). I found about 10 Pieces of vintage jewelry for the shop, you can check some out in the Shop Update-Apalooza! (Or see all the new finds, in The Shop!) When I was checking out, the guy who owns the place said "Oh We're going Mr. T CRAZY for Jewelry over here! I love it!". Haha- I love it too, Beardy! Anyways, I also found this adorable Leather Vintage Etienne Aigner Purse!



I want to know about all your favorite Vintage Finding Spots! Do you like thrift stores or pawn shops? Do you stick more to antique stores? How about Estate Sales, Flea Markets, or Yard Sales? I'd love to even see some photos of different thrifting spots from around the country and beyond! (Maybe I could turn that into a blog post!)

Leaving in the AM!

We delayed the trip by a half a day, and we're leaving in the morning instead of this afternoon. It worked out so well because yesterday I got about half my errands done, and then we got to spend some leisurely time at the farmers market...



How adorable is this girl? Barefoot and selling baked goods!



Then we stopped at a cafe' to get some iced tea before we melted out in the humidity. After that, instead of getting back to errands, we stopped at local pawn shop.



I found some really cool vintage jewelry for Etsy, I'm really excited to get that up in The Shop. I also thrifted for myself, a great vintage Dooney and Bourke bag, and a 90's Tiffany Bangle Bracelet! Didn't need to spend the money right before vacation, but I couldn't resist!!

After that, we picked up some steak and potato salad and went home, grilled some dinner. We let the kittens have a little bit of time outside (For the first time!!) and relaxed on the back porch and watched the sun set.




Off to the Poconos, first thing in the morning! (Of course, I have a couple errands to run first, hah!)
Have a great Labor Day weekend!

Farmers Market.

Our local Farmers Market is held on Thursdays. Since today is Thursday, Sally and I headed down town to see what we could find. I took a couple quick photos, and then my camera battery died! (Boo!)



We walked around the farmers market, and didn't buy too much. It was a nice day to be out anyway.



Then we stopped at the local Cafe for soup and coffee. And I found some cool vintage jewelry and a couple more stacking dolls at our favorite pawn shop.

Check out the shop for updates later tonight!
First it's time for pizza and friends!

Sneak-Peak!

We went to the farmers market today, I'm so glad it's that season again. Not everything is ready quite yet, but we still got some fresh arugula and asparagus, a big catnip plant, and many yummy baked goods!

Then we stopped in at the local pawn shop. We found so many great vintage items! Too much to bring home all at one time, so I tried to pick out the best of the best. (I'm always open to suggestions of what You would like to see in the shop!)

Anyways, here's a Sneak-Peak of just some of the vintage jewelry coming to the shop soon! What do you think?
