Found & Felt- Vol. 3
Lately, I’ve been focused on my home décor shopping list. I’m not in a rush to buy, but I love having a good list to build into—especially because you can’t pressure your way into a perfect vintage find.
If you’re local to the Bay, The White Elephant Sale is the biggest rummage sale of the year, running from late January through February. Over the years, I’ve found so many special pieces there, like the oak mirror in my bedroom and my dark wooden nightstands. Their glassware and linens are always worth a dig through too.
This year, I found an adorable Italian berry bowl. (Tip: always check the bottom of glassware and ceramics for signatures!) Once you find one special thing, it almost always inspires the hunt for more—that’s one of the best parts.
The following weekend, I headed to the monthly Alameda Antique Faire and found the most gorgeous hand-painted Peruvian mirror by Robert Weiss. I paid $50, and later saw a few have sold on 1stDibs for close to a thousand. She’s an absolute beauty.
Here are a couple more things catching my eye lately…
Wine Glasses- I found a set of these vintage green glasses at The White Elephant Sale too, to sit alongside my stemless collection of swirled ones that I’ve had for years. These are admittedly expensive, but I love their playfulness—and they’re a good reminder to keep an eye out for color and interesting shapes when it comes to glass.
Wavy Mirror– I think I’m officially obsessed with the wave. It feels like a little reminder to ride your own waves. There’s something so relaxed and intuitive about the shape. I would love this mirror on a light colored wall—the contrast is perfect. It also comes in a full length version.
Floral Printed Dress– This Fauvist floral caftan stopped me in my tracks. It reminds me of the style of artwork I fell in love with in Europe this summer. The green feels fresh against the darker accents, and it would be beautiful with a long necklace—easy to dress up or down. This print is also available in a wrap skirt.
Abstract Painted Top– Speaking of art, I’m also loving this Ulla Johnson print. It would feel like wearing a painting—or maybe becoming the art yourself 🙂
Bordeaux Beaded Necklace– I bought a vintage carnelian necklace on eBay last year and I’m still surprised by how often I reach for it. A color you wouldn’t expect to become a staple, yet here we are so I have to recommend one to you!
Polo Hat– I love a good baseball hat on the weekend. I have all the basics covered, so a pop of color would be a bright, sunny update. My favorite though is the blue on blue.
Stripe Button Down– This is my favorite oversized shirt fit. I especially love it in this new bold, contrasting blue stripe.
Sneakers– You know by now that New Balance 574s are my go-to walking shoe. They just released a dusty rose pink shade, which feels perfect with any neutral legging.
Zodiac Signet Ring– Have been wondering lately if I would like a pinky ring. This one feels especially meaningful—and comes in sizes small enough to make that possible.
That’s it for this week. If you want more eye candy, you can find all my collections on ShopMy. Highly recommend it for organizing your wishlist—creators can join here!
