We went foraging for antique pretties the other day. We are still on a mission for vintage bookshelves, and we didn't chance upon any worthy contenders, but it is still so fun to poke around the shops and admire the funky fun art on the brick edifices. It's disheartening to see little old town districts grow decrepit over the years because the local businesses aren't getting enough love. Must support local small businesses whenever possible!
Great pictures!
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous time!

Agree with you in supporting local businesses. I may get a chance to go out to LA in May and hope to stop by this place! Woot!
ReplyDeleteOh man- what a great local business! Looks like such a fun pace...can't believe how beautiful your photo's are!
ReplyDeletehelen, please take me with you one day! :)
ReplyDeleteI love vintage shops. I could usually spend a few hours in them. Are those little kiddo clothes? They all look so cute!
ReplyDeleteI love shopping at my local antique stores here in the little artsy town that I live in. I love it :)
ReplyDeleteI am taking notes for the next time I am in L.A., you know I love a good vintage shop. Keep looking, I know you'll find the bookcases you're looking for, and at the right price :)
ReplyDeletebuying antique/secondhand can be frustrating sometimes when you want what you want but you can't find it! keep your eye out i'm sure they'll pop up sooner or later :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm all about support local and small businesses. I don't want all these big manufacturers taking over our towns. I can't wait until you find your perfect vintage bookshelf, Helen :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos.
Have a wonderful day!
Such cute antique shops. I want to rummage through that dress rack. Keep looking for those perfect bookshelves... they'll show up somewhere. :)

You're so lucky to have those places in L.A. Do you ever go to Melrose? Some of my favorite thrifting is there for clothing. Although, last time I was there a couple years back it had really changed. Can't wait to see what you find. Thrifting is great, but it does take patience. :) Lots of love,

shauna! yes, i LOVE melrose! although you're right, it's not as vintage-y as it used to be. i've seen the changes over the years, and unfortunately, it's more hipster/trendy/funky now, but there are still some thrifting gems there! :)
Deletei always love the photos you post of your antique-shopping trips! i can live through you for the moment being. haven't had the need to do any shopping of like for a while. it's always exciting to go shopping for your house though! -xo.melody

ReplyDeleteLove this little boutique. It's like you could find everything you'd ever search for in there. Thanks for posting the photos and feel free to drop by me too when you have time.
ReplyDeleteI definitely and fully agree about supporting local businesses... :) Although, recently I bought my first DSLR from a local business (wanting to support them and all) and now, 4 months later, I find out they're going out of business because the owner is retiring... hmm, I hope I won't have any problems with my camera...because I won't be able to return it!
ReplyDeleteP.S. The photography on your blog is so beautiful and pleasing to the eye! Love it! :)
