This past Friday, I treated myself to some self sympathy shopping after a hellish day that had to do with the stupid downtown Atlanta DMV.  To make myself feel better I visited one of my most favorite Atlanta stores, Victory Vintage Home in Decatur.  I ended up scoring some awesome vases that looked really good in the condo.

The yellow planter was 50% off.  I splurged a little bit on the white vase.  I want to kick myself for not remembering the name of the local Atlanta artist who made it… it’s so cute with the craspedia (billy buttons) I got from the Dekalb Farmers Market!  Hopefully I can find out the next time I go back.

These 2 vases were on sale for $5 each (previously $20!)  I used one as a toothbrush holder.  The other holds a hydrangea stem from our yard.

Next door to the Atlanta Cupcake Factory was an antique shop that caught our attention called Highland Row Antiques. They had a great collection of 50’s and 60’s pieces not to mention an interesting collection of vintage porn magazines which curiously managed to seem more artsy than raunchy. I left with this super cute old Manning Bowman fan for 35 bucks that fits in nicely at our condo. It still works too! The nice lady at the store told me I should probably keep it away from kids and pets since the steel blades are pretty open… guess they didn’t have the same safety requirements back in the day!
