About once a year, all self-control flies out the window, and I purchase something big.
It's all Pheona's fault.
Pheona's is a monthly antique sale in Billings, MO. The vendors work very hard to curate perfect booths. The selection is amazing. The vendors are lovely ~ I always see old friends and meet new friends too. Also, the prices are great.
And I always fall victim.
Two years ago, I came home with this..........
It now resides in the special room.
Last year, I showed a little more restraint and brought something home that could fit in my car........
It's also in the special room (holding vintage pillows).
But this year.
This.
Year.
I purchased something large again.
Something I'd been dreaming of owning for a very long time.
Something I was sort of scared to mention to the mister.
So I decided to break the news in a public place, with friends by my side.
Friends who like to photograph moments such as these. Moments where I whisper, "Ijustboughtvintagelockers."
Cheese dip always softens the blow.
The mister took it quite well. I have a good mister.
And now I have turquoise vintage lockers..........
I never dreamed I'd find a set that were the perfect shade of green-blue.
But Pheona's did it again!
Vintage locker perfection.
And the mister is still talking to me.
