I don’t know if it’s the new typewriter talking, but I’m loving these. They’re pocket mirrors!

double take
These paintings caught my eye today. Yes, paintings. Can you believe it? I did a double take. Or two. | via designworklife
beacon dish
While in Austin, it got much colder than either of us anticipated or packed for. So, we ended up making a quick stop in REI top pick up warmer clothes for our stay. Right next to REI was Antropologie, so I made a quick stop there, too. I’m so glad I did, because I walked out with this lovely dish. It has a rugged birch-like exterior and glossy soft-colored interior.
I had been on the lookout for a little ring holder for quite some time. And this is just perfect. Now, when I’m operating the press, my rings have a nice spot to hold tight and not get damaged.
vintage royal
Another place we visited in Austin was Room Service Vintage, a super cool retro shop. I loved going through the store. Every so often something would catch my eye and trigger an old memory. A candle holder. A popcorn bowl set. An old lamp.
What we walked out with, though, was this old 1940′s manual typewriter. Glass keys. Tweed case. Shift freedom keys. Complete jackpot.
goodies
A few random things I picked up at Uncommon Objects.
uncommon objects
In Austin, we did a little shopping at Uncommon Objects. They have vintage and antique oddities and curious objects. I could have spent hours in there. Hours.
Don’t these tutus look like Martha’s pom-poms?
ribbon
Nope, these aren’t the latest muted line of candies. It’s the Martha Stewart ribbon I just snagged thanks to a nice little sale at a local craft store. Looks like there are deals to be found on her site as well.
stitched & riveted
Paper Source has cute little suitcases in various sizes. Perfect for stashing all sorts of fun stuff. I loved how detailed they are. Aluminum rivets. Corner protectors. And lined on the inside.
