If I had a multitude of crates and bags with me, they would have been filled to brimming, but I had to leave so many gems behind, including this 1950's cake dome. The "cake" part of the stand is actually the lid. It can be lifted by the large strawberry at the center to reveal the confection inside.
Gorgeous, vintage dresses and nightgowns - some never worn before - were in abundance. The florals and materials were reminiscent of some of the vintage prints found at Anthropologie.
This massive board full of pins and brooches reminded me a lot of the exquisite hardware sold at Anthropologie: floral and starburst knobs on cubpoards and drawers.
Vintage linens begged to be felt and explored. They were made of gorgeous materials and were in such good condition, even though some of them were more than 60 years old.
The light playing on this old, gilt-edged mirror, which was covered in baubles, was just fantastic. I love the dance between the glint of clean shimmer and the subdued patina of the old frame.
This mosaic box stole my heart. It is very much an Anthropologie runaway.
All in the details: each little section of this wall-mounted case contained a little surprise. I love the little "room" (second row from left, third box down) with the starburst clock, the sconce and the little faux-bois table with a cake dome.
These vintage napkins may as well have been taken directly from the Anthropologie home department: they were in gorgeous condition and their lovely patterns were unmarred by time or use.
I thought this necklace made of painted shells would have been a big hit with Anthropologie's beach-going ladies.
A vintage quilt made for a child was perfectly worn and tattered. The hand stitching and sewn-on buttons were just adorable.
Martha would definitely approve of this useful conversion: an old aluminum frying pan finds a new life as a wall-mounted clock. (Wouldn't this be wonderful next to an Aga?)
Salt doesn't seem so unhealthy when I see it written on this beautiful and alluring vessel.
I loved this sweet little salt and pepper shakers, which were two sleeping goslings.
An old sideboard, dark with time, may make a lovely addition to an Anthropologie-inspired room.
If given the chance, I would propose marriage to the excellent woman who once wore this fantastic skirt.
It is decorated with crazy women in fancy evening gowns, bedecked by coloured ribbons that act as ties, scarves and sashes. Fabulous!
This vendor, Ida Belle, was very enthusiastic about her handmade soaps. They were deliciously scented and individually wrapped in beautiful fabrics. Visit her website: idabellesoaps.com
Pretty, holiday-themed stationery - some used, some blank - was piled high in several stacks on several tables.
