I was invited to attend a gallery breakfast tomorrow at Anthropologie?s Rockefeller Center location but of course being in Germany it is not possible (obviously!) I hope that another blogger will attend and blog about it because I’d love to see how the event turns out. It features the work of former Anthropologie visual director [...]
I’m always so inspired when I come across a web shop that feels special, you know like you’ve just stepped into someone else’s personal space and you must tip toe and quietly look around so as to not make too much noise. A very special little boutique on the web that I discovered recently is [...]
I had a really successful Sunday on eBay Germany, look what I found for my living room and kitchen! I’m over the moon happy and just had to share these finds with you today. First up, this retro light.
This light is an original from the 1950s in pastel green and gold and I won the [...]
I’ve bragged about Jane before but since I had the pleasure of meeting the talented lady behind All The Luck In The World, artist and graphic designer Jane Schouten, in Amsterdam recently I thought I’d sing her praises again. What a pleasant person she was to talk to and so very sweet! We chatted for [...]
I usually save the more ‘personal’ posts like this one for my Haus Maus blog, but I am way too excited about my recent flea market finds to not share on decor8 today. For those of you who may not know, my husband and I took on a second home here in Germany in addition [...]
Has anyone ever heard of this place in Boston, well Somerville but pretty much the same thing… It’s called Artifaktori and it’s located at 22a College Avenue in Davis Square? Somehow I stumbled upon it over the weekend online and now I want to drive down and check it out. Has anyone been to this [...]
One look at Steven’s Stuff and My Happy Accidents and you know you are in for a treat of colorful surprises! Steve’s Stuff specializes in vintage finds scouted in England and are affordable vs. inflated like so many vintage finds online. And it’s a fun little shop to browse. My Happy Accident is the sister [...]
Jane just opened her new store All The Luck In The World today and sent over the news. First of all, congratulations Jane! The moment I clicked on her site I fell in love because it is so Jane, it perfectly fits who she is and how she decorates. I’ve talked about this talented creator [...]
Are you ready to meet trim lady? Well, she’s not really called that, but it’s tempting when you see what she surrounds herself with beneath her massive tent. Trim lady is Rhode Island-based Susan Gower, owner of Nifty Thifty Dry Goods.
She has ribbons, buttons, trims, beads, and more, both new and vintage. Susan travels around [...]
Remember how I told you about Oscar the vintage umbrella stand that I won last week on eBay? He just flew in today. I can’t believe it. Just look at this cuteness.
He exceeds my expectations in every way imaginable. He is shown here on my credenza because the wall in my little entryway is white [...]
I usually don’t share things I win on eBay here but this just makes me so happy that I must show you my winning item! But first a little story time. Okay, so I’ve been wanting to find a new umbrella stand since my current vintage one ended up becoming the storage bin for my [...]

When Cindy wrote in about her darling shop Flutter that she calls, “A delightful disarray of found objects and clutter”, I was super intrigued to learn more. I knew I had to check it out with a name like that. Located in both Portland, OR and online, she carries a delightful array of found objects [...]
I first mentioned Arthur’s Circus a few months ago here but lately I’m loving them even more because they keep stocking both of their stores with such goodness. I have to pass it on to you because I know lots of you have a thing for rare vintage toys for your collections and a few [...]
H is for Home is a new online store with lots of terrific handmade and vintage finds. Their Product Sets are a super smart idea because they show their items living together in an actual space, you can then click on the photo you like and beneath it find many of the items for sale. [...]
Stylist Selina Lake told me about this neat little web shop based out of the UK called The Laundry. It’s where she sourced some of the products found in her new book Bazaar Style. She also mentioned that the lady who owns the shop is just a delight and that she’ll ship anything you see [...]
You know how Better Homes and Gardens releases special quarterly Decorating issues? Well I rarely purchase them because they’re a little too traditional and ‘perfect’ for my taste and I can’t deal with matchy-matchy interiors. Okay so yesterday I ended up at Barnes & Noble looking for the March LivingEtc issue and since [...]
American Furnishings is based in Ohio and everything they build is by hand right here in the USA. Their new line is inspired by America’s industrial history, evident in the details on their exquisite furniture. But aside from what they make, I’m in love with their vintage finds - if you are a lover of [...]
Who says you can’t work with your best friend? Or that starting a business with a family member always leads to trouble? I’m all for collaborating with others who share a common vision, whether it’s a mother, sister, husband, or BFF. We work with who inspires us and who ‘gets’ us. Period. The longer I [...]
