vintage finds | reminiscence

this thrifting mode sure tells us something about our tendency to melancholia or nostalgia, do you think? as i'm slowly walking the archived hall of objects passed and bought (and then stored for future reference), i see it all happening again in front of my very eyes. 

the why's of things adored. 

the how's of bringing some things home. 

the if's that may lose out. 

the propers that will live until they break. 

the images. 

oh. 

the images.
sophie's choice.

  9. Yes, "the why's of things adored." Some of my favorite belongings were thrifted, particularly kitchen items. My beloved mismatched enameled cast iron cookware, my funny little nut meat grinder, my beautiful lopsided colander.
