photo diary of a mountain maiden


Wearing
Dress: Francesca's
Hat: thrift store in Cincinnatti
Shades: Chinese street market


Breakfast on the back porch: Avocado and heirloom tomato toast.
My mom shares my love of junkyard antiques and thrift stores, so we made it our mission to strike every one!


One man's junk......
Is my treasure! Humane Society Thrift store in Franklin, $30 love seat!

Lunch and iced herbal tea at a vegetarian restaurant in Franklin. Heaven.
A few more treasure sightings...

Then home to ponder my good fortune.
Oh to be a maid
in the mountains every time
the grass is dewey.

1)Fun trip. Can't wait to see the couch in your new apartment with your lovely color theme.
2)That dress is super cute.
3)The junky old thrift stores are the best.
In reply to your comment about the snobby joe's, it really isn't that hard at all or time consuming. You can always buy one of those bags of coleslaw veggies to quicken the process by a minute. You should really try it, it is so freaking yummy!

Interesting finds. Your dress is adorable too! I read your profile, by the way, and i love the concept of "zombie lace" as a way to revive the old and opt for the sustainable!

Sincerely,
Sabrina
