vintage finds

i wanted to share one of my favorite stores with you. it's a lovely little gem of a store in wallingford called the curiosity shop. for those of you brides who adore vintage jewelry and clothing i am sure you too will find something to love about it. i am also willing to bet you'll find something special for your wedding day. heidi, the store owner--a gem unto herself--has a well curated selection of clothing (mostly coats and dresses), hats and various decor for the home, and of course loads of jewelry.  looking for a unique broach or pin with which to decorate your bridal bouquet wrap? you'll find one here.

the store itself is a feast for the eyes with wonderful little vingnettes throughout, like a 1940s ladies vanity with interesting little bottles, jewelry and a mirrored tray (think 1940s hollywood glamour).  it's always so nice to have personalized, original touches for the wedding reception and...here she goes again...if I were getting married...i would find interesting objects with which to decorate the bar (one of a kind bowls and trays perhaps?), tables (vases, trays, old postcards?), cake table...something to make it special, romantic.
