something strange goin on around here...

I don't know if I am going through a quarter life crisis or something...

I almost always find something I love from Pottery Barn. I thumbed through the most recent catalog...and nothing. Not one page inspired me. Maybe I'm not ready for the fall colors, or "sophisticated" patterns. I can't be sure. I guess there was one page, but it was more a decorating idea:

I like this idea for a stairway. I think I would use frames in the same color family. Okay, so I wasn't left completely uninspired. I have noticed that I feel drawn to things a little more...um...quirky. Something is happening to me. Is this what they call "evolving"?

I want to get rid of nearly all my clothes. I look in the closet and nothing really matches me. I just feel an overwhelming urge to purge, and get back to simplicity. A lot of what you need, and a little of what you can't live without. An old love has waltzed back in and decided to stay a while...vintage dresses. I love all things vintage. I loved this one on ebay, beyond my budget:

Right now I am in love with anything from the 1940's. I have a 40's dress I bought on ebay some time ago, and I am just waiting for the right occasion to wear it. I am going to need one of these too:

I so badly, so so badly, so very badly want a 1940's turquoise truck. Maybe I will find an old one to restore someday. I know, I know- as if my plate wasn't full enough. But a girl can dream, right?

My mom has always said that I am an old soul.
