a new hobby is born...

we thought craigslist was fun. it doesn't compare to thrift store shopping in our new hometown.

one favorite just happens to be in our neighborhood.


it's needless to say that the photo above is dabney's dream.






part vintage clothing store/part furniture warehouse/part - the future antiques is a treasure trove of all things mid-century, kitschy, and fun.

driving around and getting our bearings, we noted the plethora of "antique malls" in and around the area. teeming with great items and curiosities, these places are essentially seven-day-a-week flea markets in strip malls. most importantly, they are just chocked full of STUFF.



it's fun strolling down the aisles of booths, each with their own look. some are merchandised to the gills. some look like your crazy aunt's basement (ahem, you know who you are).
