Bought and found a few cool things for my new place today.. (yep, i've moved yet again. )

Antlers...found and washed it and it looks like this now..


wild sheep horns..


Old crate.. also found..


bought these ceramic milk cartons..couldn't resist.. i don't know if they're supposed to hold milk/cream but i'm going to use them as vases i think..

^I think they would be vases, and they are so clever and cute. I really like the pieces you've chosen.

 

[Cado]

I love the crate and the vases!

I was given tons of nick knacks when I was little and loved them, they filled my room but now I hate them. I love minimalism, simple, soft and clean. Sort of Pottery Barn type minimalism though. Jill Stuart house and the photos Party Vixen posted are a dream for me. Not sure how that would work with small children but it's lovely.

I had bright purple walls and a neon green,yellow and pink bedspread and Disney posters when I was 8. Loved it!

^ it's certainly interesting. the vegetarian in me hopes that they aren't real antlers.

 

[adorefaith]

^I'd say they probably are ... but deer and elk shed their antlers.. so the vegetarian in you doesn't really need to worry, they (most likely) aren't being harmed for them..

 

[charliehorse]

Yeah, I've always had the vague understanding that antlers were naturally shed but I've never actually looked into it. I just googled it and it does seem that most antlers used for commercial/decorative purpose really do shed naturally, because to amputate the horns without killing the animal is a really risky procedure that requires a lot of skill and effort, and it takes about a year for the antlers to grow to full size anyway, at which point they fall off naturally.

adorefaith i love your buys... so amazing! i'm always ebaying for antlers (haha, this sounds so strange) but i never have much luck. how much did you pay, if you don't mind me asking?

 

[adorefaith]

Thanks june! do you mean the antlers or the sheep horns? the antlers i found, actually. i live in an area with lots of deer and elk....and they naturally shed. i just cleaned them up a bit. the wild sheep horns i bought.. they were on sale for $9 each and i bought 3.

 

[rochasfille]

I would kill for that chair in Vanessa Traina's apartment...

 

[june gloom]

you are so lucky in both cases, adorefaith! great great great finds.

 

[Thefrenchy]

[Susanna-Cole]

^^That fireplace is amazing! And thanks so much for introducing us to that site, some great inspiration, and always hilarious captions!

Loved these:

The humans thought the pillow was a suitable response to her seasonal affective disorder. Gladys was not amused.

The ceiling.

His lessons in telekinesis were paying off, though he was still a little clumsy. From the stairs he lowered the dining room light, but just missed the tulips he so despised.
