Thrift Find Friday!

I'm pretty crafty but I'm even thriftier. Thrift Find Friday will probably be your best bet at snagging your favorite vintage pins for your hat before they're gone!



Had a chance to stop by one of my favorite thrift shops in the city this afternoon. Ye Old Antique Barn has definite bankers hours but it is always filled with new glorious treasures that need a little cleaning, painting or re-purposing. Went in looking for clay pots and came out with these goodies:


The set of 4 silver wine goblets are unbelievably tarnished but if elbow grease doesn't work, I think they'll make for some sturdy candle holders. :))

And who doesn't need more awesome candy dishes and gaudy gold frames? (Me.)

The turquoise piece is eerily similar to what I'm wearing today...

If you ask me, those cameos need to go for a quick spin before they're pinned down! But, that sewing machine pin! Sigh* that is just waiting for the perfect home on a really striking hat. Perhaps something with black net and red roses?? I guess we'll see... :)

"A society is defined not only by what it creates, but by what it refuses to destroy."

Wishing you all a creative, sunny weekend!

Front Page of Etsy AGAIN! And how!

One of Two Back Flats' mini top hats was featured on the front page of Etsy for the second time this week!! You can only imagine my excitement! I want to thank all of the amazing people who include me in their treasuries!!


My Striped Circus Mini Top Hat is adorable and chic and sweet and oh so charming! Part of the Peppermint Pretty Collection, this hat was inspired by the The Carnival! While my other Peppermint Pretty hats are a little louder, bolder from deep reds to actual popcorn and peppermints attached, this hat is soft. I was inspired by real down home carnivals. Ribbons and lace and curls and farm animals and a little bit of dust in the air.

The best part of this hat other than the gorgeous ivory flower buttons and veil is that it's made up of 90% recycled materials! That delicate red and white striped fabric used to be a men's button up!

I adore this hat and you and Etsy!

Much love on this hot summer day!
