Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue ...& a lot of shoes


antique japanese tea pot dragon  spout mounted on my wall

This little dragon hook is actually the spout of an antique Japanese tea pot ...a set from the 20's which was my moms and unfortunately broke in the 1994 earthquake or maybe it was during a move? She keeps everything so when unwrapping it a while ago to reminisce, I grabbed the dragon to be used as such {mostly decorative wall art though I do love the vintage rhinestones dripping from its neck}. I mounted it to the wall with wall mount tape.

* You may have seen it from afar in my office/dressing room post.


vintage brass elephant figurine

I found this little brass elephant at Atlantis Home Goods last week. It's actually a bit larger than it looks.



YSL 70's platforms + YSL taurillon sandal

YSL 70's inspired wood platform sandals from Barney's NY sale ...minimal damage done.



vintage brass mirrored tray

Vintage gold mirrored tray also from Atlantis Home Goods.



vintage luggage+vintage bag

My Father in law's vintage luggage ...I just love this tote, which was sitting in the doorway to the guest room, shoes thrown behind it and I just liked the shot. Also, I hate unpacking.



antique japanese tea set -plate

A small plate from the same tea set as the dragon spout. I found an entire set, unbroken, here.



vintage brass birds + angry birds

Another little purchase from Atlantis Home Goods ...my new angry birds



marc jacobs canvas lace ups

Marc Jacobs linen lace ups ...more Barney's NY sale {though they're a bit snug}



new white ipad 2 3g wifi

New white iPad 2 ...I really had no need, thus no desire for an iPad until now. Well until 4 days before the BlogHer conference. It came in very handy I must say. {* Life Well Lived}



bebe blue suede buckle ankle heels

And something VERY blue. I actually found these Bebe "Taffy" buckle heels a few weeks ago while I was feverishly searching for the perfect suede pump to DIY. These weren't it but I kind of died when I tried them on ...and so did all the women around me. I couldn't resist.

I love the last pair of blue heels. I have a pair of blue heels with bow, I should really wear them. : )

knocking it out of the park with the Atlantis stuff! I need to pop back there! Every shot is drag-to-the-desktop worthy.

Can't wait to see how you work the blue shoes!!! I kept thinking in my head, "Violet, you're turning... violet!"

cheers!

I really love the dragon...and especially since I've been feeling inspired to hang some of my bangles and things on the wall bc there's no other place for them! that elephant is fabulous as are the birds and the shoes...to DIE for.

Katey said...

That spout-turned-hook is genius! If I find a cool but unusuable teapot at a garage sale or thrift store I may use it just for that purpose.

Sienna said...

Namine said...
