I was on the lookout for plates and I eyed these immediately and was also excited about the price! I got eight total, 4 of each for $3!

Virginia Johnson

While at Barney's today I came across some of Virginia Johnson's new shawls. I am a big fan of her work so I came home and checked out her website again to see what else was new. I really love her Fall 08 lookbook. It is really inspiring.

Back from NH

I got back from New Hampshire yesterday. I feel like whenever I have been going back I always do the same things. This photo basically sums up how I spent my Sunday. Two words. FLEA MARKET

The infamous flea market that I always talk about

This flea market is out of control and I am sorry but the flea markets here in NYC don't stand a chance in comparison to the ones in NH. I came out after three hours and only spending $6 and came out with a vintage silk scarf, two linen table clothes, a few yards of really fun vintage fabric, the cutest painting that I am putting in my kitchen tomorrow, 6 cloth napkins with a great bamboo print in chartreuse (one of my favorite colors!) and a full bottle of avon perfume in a peacock shaped bottle! RIDICULOUS!!

Local farm near my dads house


Besides the flea market I made sure to stop at the local farms/ice cream stands and stock up on some fresh veggies that I made myself and my dad dinner with, cider donuts, and homemade pumpkin ice cream. yummmmy

purse

I have been on the lookout for a new purse for a while now since I have loved mine so much that the straps are starting to fray. I am a one purse kind of girl (ok ok I recently bought a lesportsac bag too for more casual summer occasions, who wants to bring a leather purse to the beach? and besides who can resist their patterns?!) but usually it is just me and my trusty black leather purse. I stumbled upon this Calvin Klein one at Macy's and it is the perfect simple shape and size that I have been looking for. I think I may be purchasing it soon as a gift to myself in celebration of my new job!

Flashback to Summer 07

I was searching to see if I could find any '08 DIS blogs and look at what I came across on flickr! Looks familiar doesn't it?
