Love notes

Ever opened your lunch, a book, a cupboard and found a love note?  Just something simple like, "have a nice day", or "do well on your test"?  This is a love note supreme that will last forever.  It makes me wonder how thrilled she was and how often she peeked under the table just to relive the moment again and again . . . you can find this love note (table) at abode!

ribbon holders - doncha just want to lick em?

And it can be yours as well.  Just sneak on down to the FLEA Saturday and snag one or ten!

SpRiNg has officially sPruNg!

The moment our first bicycle of the season arrives we welcome spring!  No matter the weather from now on, there is always the notion of sweet weather to come . . . check out our website (what's in store) to see this beauty and at $69 it will be gone before you know it (just like the snow, we hope)!

This just in.

This swanky 60's bar with working refrigerator, set of whiskey glasses, set of full size glasses, vintage bar tools, leather top, the list goes on! 

This guy is a must-see.

It's so fancy!  

A little obsession

never hurt anyone...right? 

  

First off the colors are uuuh-mazing.  And B, loving how it's made to look like cross stitching.  So in love...can't function properly.  

Vintage table cloth, $18.  

Butcher block tables.

Perhaps it's the country girl in me, but I just LOVE the look of a good butcher block table.  You can scratch 'em up, even use them as cutting boards, and it just makes them look better.  And we just marked our butcher block table with white legs down to $149.  Get into it.

Snag the look for less.

The January 2011 Anthropologie catalog is a hodge podge of retro and gypsy inspired glamor.  I'm obsessed.

(It was tough for me to get my hands on a lot of the images from the catalog, so click here to see more of what I'm talking about.)

But if you're anything like me Anthro's prices are a bit... ugh.  So i'm here to show you how to get this glamorous retro feel for less with authentic retro items found at Abode.  Here we go:

We have several retro side tables and desks starting at just $22. 

Retro knick knack bottles.  Adore them.

Love this decanter and these pink martini glasses.  So chic! 

Mod dresser on sale for only $40!

Set of four retro martini glasses $16.  Vintage martini kit $15.

The fabrics in the catalog are all very bright, travel-inspired pieces.  Like these vintage floral curtains with birds. 

Art deco mirror and vintage artwork starting at $22.  Art deco floor lamp only $35.  Tiffany inspired lamp $99.

To die for, but at this price you won't have to.  $35
