truly, it is. how does the saying go? my grandma owned it, my mother got rid of it and now i'm buying it... and cutting it up and turning it into modern day vintage inspired accessories and selling it on etsy? yep. pretty sure thats close, if not 100% accurate.
last saturday we went to the antique marketplace and spent the better part of our weekend walking up and down the isles of this giant thirty seven thousand-million acre space. we honestly browsed through hundreds and hundreds, of what seemed like the exact same booth over and over, just slightly different from one to the next. however, each one accompanied by the same musty 70 year old pee kind of smell. if you haven't caught on, i'm not the hugest fan of antique markets. i wish someone would invent an All The Exact Things Melissa Needs In One Place market with only shelf of only the stuff i want and thats it. none of this wandering up and down isles nonsense.
but you guys! i found some awesome bargains. none of which smell like pee though. be not afraid.
this super retro gator skin bag was only $12. ya! jealous much? aaand i'm pretty sure the file folders aren't actually antique but i needed them in my life anyways.
the doilies may have actually had a mild hint of urine scent but i think that was just from being in among the other urine-scented merch. after a nice bath they became pretty brooches like these:
Gah! I WANT that bag!!! And only $12. Sigh.
