I consider myself to be one of the very lucky people whose work is their hobby and vice versa. Really. I love what I do. I get to go shopping all the time, buy great things and put them together to create wonderful room settings, see them being enjoyed and on their way to new homes. Who couldn't love doing this?
The "finding" is both the most challenging and the most fun. I NEVER know what I will find. A place will yield lots of things one time and nothing the next. A day can end with a van full or just one small item. There is no rhyme or reason which, of course, is one of the things that makes it so much fun - a "find" is that much sweeter for having appeared.
So this weekend, when I found a crushed velvet orange striped club chair AND (in another place altogether) a fantastic striped loveseat with chrome legs, it felt like hitting the jackpot. Top it off with some great vintage posters and accessories and I will ride the high for days!
Best part is I discovered some new places to go and that's always a plus - the more resources we have available, the more we are able to provide a diverse selection and keep prices in line.
I can't wait to get these treasures in the shop! Better get some sleep so I can tackle it tomorrow!
Sweet retro dreams to you -
