Christmas is just around the corner and what better way to feel festive than to decorate your surroundings? I love browsing Etsy around this time of year for great holiday themed items and gift ideas. The level of creativity always amazes me and I love discovering new shops and sellers.

Heaven in a House – Madison Park AntiquesPosted by: naomi @ 12:35 am in featured shops, travel |
Are you sick of all the Portland posts yet? Well here’s one more.
Madison Park Antiques is a MUST VISIT. This store is a gorgeous, well edited collection of antiques, vintage home decor and various other ephemera. I noticed the small, discreet sign outside while walking around an area of Portland (I forget the name) filled with antique and vintage stores. Out of all of the shops on the block, this one definitely stood out – mainly because it was in a beautiful residential house rather than a store front.

A woman, a cat and her jewelry (vintage of course)Posted by: naomi @ 10:43 pm in clothing & accessories, people |
This past weekend, Ryan and I hung out with my friend Sally at her apartment in Gastown. She’s one of the most unique women I’ve ever met and loves all things sparkly, shiny and vintage. Taking photos of her (+ her cat Loki) and some of her stuff just seemed natural for this blog. An avid collector of fun party dresses, you’ll often see Sally walking down the street with one of her many parasols, elbow length gloves and sky high heels.

Fabulous Finds: Vintage headbands by LIASONPosted by: naomi @ 7:39 pm in clothing & accessories, featured shops |
I love browsing the shops on Etsy not only for unique prints and knick knacks for my house, but for the amazing designers who put out great one-of-a-kind jewelry and accessories. LIASON is no exception. I first came across this store, run by a talented designer named Katherine, during my hunt for a feathered headband to accessorize my outfit for an upcoming 1920’s flapper party.
