Next on the list for 2012 style trends is...Vintage! Yes, we all love vintage. It is always a little more interesting to incorporate items with a story into our spaces. Whenever I see an old metal and wood school desk/chair combo, it immediately brings up old memories of days gone by, not to mention it sparks my curiosity as to the specific history that resides within that particular chair.
Vintage items are those that have been "loved" and passed on for others to "love." Whether we are talking about Levi's, old industrial lighting, teacups, or linens... Vintage just makes our lives a little more interesting.
Even better...many vintage items can be extremely affordable! Start your Saturday with a visit to some yard sales and a flea market, peruse some thrift shops and end the day with a quick dumpster dive (Of course, check Ebay and Craigslist before bed). - You never know what you will find!
Mothology always features beautiful vintage items. You will never be disappointed when you visit this site!

Three Potato Four Shop is another fun website that is constantly changing and adding to the inventory of unique finds. Some of my favorite discoveries at www.threepotatofourshop.com, are the depression-era mugshots! What a great conversation starter...talk about an item having its own story!
And don't forget RELIQUE!
