I went to an antique shop yesterday and bought five vintage phones. They were all half off as the dealer was clearing off her inventory. Score! My favorite is this sea green one. <br />
<br />
Happy Monday indeed!<br />

What is it that makes us want to collect things? Once in a while I'll come across a cute pottery vase or a wooden animal figure and would want to expand it to a collection, but then when I gathered enough to warrant a sizable collection the desire to keep it is fleeting and my interest goes onto the next one. My collecting habits has changed overtime being that my job gives me the advantage of finding them on a constant basis. I remember ten years ago when I used to go to estate sales at the break of dawn just to snatch a Hummel figurine with a full bee marking to add to my collection, what was I thinking? Now if there's one thing I regret letting go was my <a href="http://twitpic.com/1qd2np" target="_blank">enamel</a> <a href="http://modishvintage.blogspot.com/2011/05/colorful-enamel-bowls.html" target="_blank">bowl collections</a> they are getting harder to find these days.<br />
<br />
The photo above is an instant collection I got from an auction two weeks ago. See my previous perfume bottle collection <a href="http://modishvintage.blogspot.com/2011/02/my-vintage-collection-clear-perfume.html" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="http://modishvintage.blogspot.com/2010/02/instant-collection.html" target="_blank">here</a>.Evelynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15608212437245494516noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3320341309149146984.post-3411224220258745672013-06-04T07:43:00.001-07:002013-06-04T07:43:48.229-07:00chair of the day<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My obsession with chairs and lamps still continues. If you see my instagram feed I seem to manage to find a lamp to buy and chairs whenever I venture on a thrifting or auction trips. So I thought I should showcase a chair or a lamp that I fancy on a weekly basis here. And of course since finding the gem of chairs from yesterdays post, I pinned these photos to show how these chairs were used in an interesting ways.<br />

Since getting my new phone I've been <a href="http://instagram.com/modishvintage">Instagraming </a>which is so much faster and and I love all the filters I can use to make the pictures pretty. In addition I got busy with real life in the beginning of the year with the business, taxes and the usual home chores and stuff and decided to take a much needed one month vacation to my birth place- Philippines with my mom and my daughter Sofia. It was a great vacation overall and a neat experience for my daughter. Unfortunately I don't have photos to prove it as they were all accidentally deleted.:( except a couple...<br />

I was browsing a favorite <a href="http://www.isuwannee.com/">blog</a> the other day and came across this space by <a href="http://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/712463">Camille Price</a>. When I saw how she decorated her mantel with red books I knew this is how I wanted my mantel to look for the holidays. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
here's a photo of Price's mantel; I love the sort of messy, overstuffed but balanced look. </div>

So I remember this <a href="http://modishvintage.blogspot.com/2010/02/granny-chic.html">post</a> from a distant past realizing that I do have a thing for granny; granny chic that is. And I still do, a little, though my taste changes from time to time but I just love the colorful nostalgic look not to mention function of these vintage crocheted afghans, don't you? Well, I recently thrifted a mountain of them just in time for the colder season. And I already picked a couple for my sofa and my basement chairs and save the most colorful ones to list on my Etsy shop. Most of them are in very good condition, uniqe and so warm...they are priced just around $30 or less. You can check them out <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/ModishVintage?section_id=12423397">here</a>.

Well hello there!<br />
As you may have noticed, I have been absent here. I've been unmotivated to blog lately partly because I've been busy scouting vintage treasures for my Etsy shop and also for Fab.com for the upcoming holiday season and also I felt like my 'thrift finds' posts has been redundant and I can't come up with fresh new topics to post, so instead of blogging here I have been <a href="http://statigr.am/modishvintage">instagramming</a> my finds. I think I love it more for it's ease of use - I take a quick picture with my phone, add a cool filter and finish with a caption or one liner and done. Not much thinking or planning and over thinking whether to hit the publish button or not for everyone to see. So I've been loving instagram, and been posting my finds there lately. If you don't follow me there, the photos above are my recent finds in the last couple of weeks. I will be using IG for now and will take a break from blogging so if you want to see what's happening you can follow there at @modishvintage of course. Happy autumn everyone!<br />

Today R and I had been married ten years. Seems like ages ago and yet I can still remember all the details of our wedding like it just happened yesterday. I was so smitten with Natalie Cole's song I played it over and over leading up to our big day and also used it on my wedding video. Thought I'd post it here to commemorate the day.<br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">Today is the kids first day of school. Both are entering second grade. They told me they are both excited and nervous and I've been reassuring them that it’s ok to feel that way. I on the other hand is having the same feelings I felt back when it was their first day of kindergarten. Anxious, excited for them and sad all the same. Last night my little guy said “I will miss seeing your face mommy” it seriously melt my heart. And Sofia said she misses me so much when it rains and she’s stuck at school. So I told them today I will go out and look for a locket for each one and put a photo of me so that they can "see" me whenever they feel lonely at school. Sigh, kids… you can’t live with them, you can’t live without them.</div>Evelynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15608212437245494516noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3320341309149146984.post-55586648785832518282012-08-20T14:44:00.002-07:002012-08-20T19:59:13.655-07:00weekend finds<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JqNWR7mBOoE/UDHyWl4VANI/AAAAAAAAeyg/FdPzlnNrNLo/s1600/bl1dd.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="445" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JqNWR7mBOoE/UDHyWl4VANI/AAAAAAAAeyg/FdPzlnNrNLo/s640/bl1dd.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
Being that my favorite auction place only holds a general auction once a month, I've been having serious withdrawal to find and buy stuff lately; this weekend I drag my whole family to a small antique mall to look around and pick stuff I can afford. One booth has a big moving sale and I scored the items pictured above. The blue fan works wonderful and surprisingly quiet, I used it all afternoon in my office yesterday. The pig cookie jar was also a cute find and I just love the shape and the color of the creamer and sugar dishes. <br />
<br />

Hubby is developing a keener eye for my mid century taste and spotted this beautiful teak coffee table that has a couple of spots on top greatly reduced from $100 to $30. We took it home, he sanded the top and refinished it, and now it looks like a million bucks - or more like 400 bucks :) .<br />

Super excited to see this home tour of <a href="http://www.fastcompany.com/most-creative-people/2012/bradford-shellhammer">Bradford Shellhamer's</a> home in New York Times, and to see those red and yellow apple canisters he ordered prominently displayed on his fabulous kitchen counter. I really admire his style, all the bright colors makes the place so fun and cheerful. The red heart shaped lounge chairs on the second photo is to die for!</div>

I had a little downtime<i> </i>this past weekend (a calm before the storm) and painted the kids room pink! I have been re-decorating their room and thought pink would go well with the vintage brass beds I got couple of weeks ago. I was not so sure of the outcome but my pinterest board helped me ease my mind a little with above images. It wasn't too bad actually, and the kids love it. It was a very light shade of dusty pink much like the first photo. I will make sure to share some pictures of the room soon.</div>

Last thing I want to show is this really awesome antique phonograph and a bunch of these old 1950s children's music records. This old mechanism will not only <span style="background-color: white;">play the nursery songs of the past but will also</span><span style="background-color: white;"> double up as a small table and also would make a very cool display in a kid's room. </span><br />
<br />
And that concludes my sneak peeks this week, thanks for following along. I'm off to cool off in the pool with four kiddos, it's been hot here in the NW and the community pool has been a great place to escape from the heat. Have a fabulous weekend everyone, stay cool!<br />
