Road trip, part one

May 18, 2009

As promised, here's a few of the treasures I stumbled across on our road tripping extravaganza. We saw loads of cute birdcages which would all be perfect to hold cards at your reception - remember this darling idea of hanging them in trees? Love it.

I loved the rich scarlet hues of these vintage reads and I really wish I would have picked up the one titled When a Girl Loves! I've started a tiny collection of old books with fun titles and will have to share the one I did pick up on our trip in a future post. I'm hoping someday to re-create a photo like this Kate Spade ad {See it? It's the top one in the post}. It would make a great wedding portrait, too!

Loved the rustic vibe of these lanterns. I immediately started imagining them dangling from tree branches for a casual afternoon wedding.

And, of course, there were plenty of blue Mason jars {you all know how great those can be for centerpieces} and fun milk bottles to be had. I picked up several more of the blue Mason jars to hold pens and pencils, etc.

We also spotted several typewriters that were in great working condition. Made me slightly wish I would have come across one a year ago to include at our wedding as a make-shift guestbook. The French travel poster on the right was something I almost purchased but then decided against. Isn't it whimsical?
More to come!
