Sarah and I are working on some longer entries about our recent adventures, but in the meantime, let me share some new fave finds with you guys.
My sister and I visited the Romeo Peach Festival a few weeks ago. We’ve been going to this since we were children, and every year we always swear it is the last time we will go. You see, the Romeo Peach Festival is a really good place for people (not me) to buy Confederate Flag t-shirts and marshmallow shooting guns. It is no longer a good place to buy antiques or high quality crafts.
To be fair, my sister and I went because we were on a mission to find these peach cookies we had two years ago, which then disappeared off the planet. Turns out that these cookies aren’t even part of the Peach Festival, but come from a grocery store just outside of town. We found them living in their peach cookie heaven, and proceeded to buy about 26 boxes each:
Just kidding, we each only bought 1 box each, and then I b*tched the whole way home about how I was an idiot for not buying more.
Ok, so besides the cookies, I did miraculously find one good treasure at the Peach Festival. Two guys were selling random junk in a booth and I came across this old ceramic walrus bank:
I KNOW, RIGHT?! That is the cutest chef walrus you have ever done seen. I bought him for $5 and put him in the last available space next to my kitchen scale collection.
OK, so another recent fave find came from the totally random thrift store trip that Sarah and I took a few weeks ago. You might remember that I snagged a ton of baby clothes, but the best by far was this vintage baby sweater:
What is so perfect about this is that we are naming the baby Everett, so the E’s on the sweater actually make sense. Baby E is going to be stylin’ and profilin’ for sure.
The last fave find is also for future baby and I found it at the Ferndale DIY Fair. There was a booth selling all vintage clothes and knick-knacks called Octopus Pie Studios. I found this sweater and pants set featuring whales and sailboats. Sarah contends it is for a baby girl, but I refuse to believe that.
It might be kind of itchy to wear, but that is the price of dressing so fly.
If you have any “fave finds” you can share them on our Facebook page. Post a pic and tell us where you found your treasure.
