Mint Green Sink

I was in Asheville last Tuesday and found this beautiful mint green sink at the Antique Tobacco Barn. It was $85 and in great condition. The only thing that needed to be changed was the pipes- they were the original lead. There were so many other things there that I loved! I ended up just getting two milk glass vases, but the place is massive and there is so much more to admire. Can't wait to go back. Then I'll definitely get the sink if it's still there. :)

The Catnap Cottage

Lately I've been scouring the internet for vintage tablecloths and I came across The Catnap Cottage on Etsy.  In addition to tablecloths, there are some beautiful vintage chenile quilts and pillows, salt and pepper shakers and china.

Loveliness from my past

My Caboodle.  Still filled up just as it was in my tween years.  Although every last Bonne Bell Lip Smacker now smells disgustingly waxy and every Hard Candy or Wet 'n' Wild nail polish is gooey or separated, I hate to throw a single thing out.  Each lip balm was a short-lived obsession of mine (Sugar Plum and Star Fruit had the best scent, Dr. Pepper had the best color).  I would always carry about 10 Lip Smackers with me in a small metallic lavender bag in my backpack.   And do you remember Kissing Koolers?  I had the watermelon one.  I still have a penchant for flavored lip balms, but I've given up on glitter nail polish.

Diane Kruger in Jason Wu Dress

I love this Jason Wu dress Diane Kruger wore to the CFDA awards last night. I always like what she wears!  This image was from WWD. 

Returning to ilovelovely

Ok, it has been FOREVER since I posted anything. I miss it, and now that the professional void is returning to my life, I am going to start again. In a week and a day, I will be leaving New York for Jacksonville, FL to be with that sweet boy I blogged about over a year ago- Payton (who I "love love love"). I am exchanging one set of dreams to live another. Parting truly is sweet sorrow, but the happiness to come will make it all worth it.
