summer food




Except for a torrential downpour Sunday afternoon, the weather has been nice this past week. The kids are on summer break and we have been enjoying the warm weather, picnics with lots of fresh fruits from the farmer's market. The kids can't get enough of the watermelon, they request it everyday for a snack. I've also been making some homemade bubble tea pinoy style, very refreshing drink. On the weekend I tried Giada's watermelon fruit salad recipe minus the amaretto, it was delicious and easy to make. Hubby loved it and felt extra special that I made it with his favorite juicy pork chops and broiled asparagus. He didn't mind getting up early the next morning to do some errands for me. It's all about the food ladies.

mid-century modern interiors






This Flickr's group has the most inspiring collection of mid century decor photos. Speaking of interior design, I just stumbled on this funny blog last night and couldn't stop reading and laughing.

vintage scarves






When I'm out and about doing my thrifting/yard saleing, I sometimes come upon some really nice vintage silk scarves that I just couldn't pass up. I personally don't wear scarves, but I love collecting them and will be listing some at the shop soon. Besides using them as neck or hair accessory, they can also add an interesting look when tied onto a purse or use for belt or sash.

Etsy milestone

I finally reached a personal milestone and sold my 1,000th item on Etsy this afternoon! A goal that seemed too farfetched when I first started here in April last year, when I was waiting everyday for the first two weeks for that first sale to happen. When I sold my first item, I was thrilled beyond words and that has kept me going eversince. So thank you to all who supported my shop, I am very grateful for it everyday.
Edited to add;
And to celebrate and show my appreciation, I plan of another special give-away which I will announce here in a few days, so stay tuned.

yard sale fever!







I love summer! The backyard barbeques, visits to the park and lakes and most especially the weekend yard sales! I didn't go very far to find these lovely things this weekend, we had about ten different yard sales and one estate sale just within two blocks of my home. Many are junks but I also found a few little treasures that just makes me happy and maybe to some of you too, so if you want please look for them in the shop in the next few days.
Oh, and I will be posting another give-away contest soon to celebrate the little milestone at Modish Vintage. Thanks to all the wonderful customers who bought from me, I am nearing my 1,000th sales. And to everyone who hearted my shop, my heart swells with 4,027 hearts as of today! Thank you so much! Now if you'll excuse me I'm gonna have me a piece of cake for breakfast and some coffee.
