Met these fine folks from Juniper Ridge this week at the Capsule show in Vegas. Wonderful people, amazing products.

Recently I picked up a great vintage Levi’s shirt from Hoof & Antler. When I opened the envelope, there was a fabulous little hand written note and the shirt was wrapped in tissue with a black silk ribbon. Job. Well. Done. I was so impressed I pinged them to find out a little more:

Basically we’ve had a vast love for all things vintage and for years have spent a ridiculous amount of our free time digging around in thrift stores, flea markets, etc. After coming to terns with the fact that our small apartment was filled to the brim we realized that we could turn our obsession into a side job. (We’re not hoarders I promise.) H&A officially opened on 4/10/11 and we’ve been having a blast! We’ve found it very rewarding seeing others enjoy those unique vintage items that we unearthed over the years. Have a vast love of coffee, cheese, puppies, cookies, old maps & globes, men’s western shirts, antique books, dinosaurs, gaudy artwork, and vintage dresses.

Thanks again, and happy thrifting.

Something about that solid oak is looking really fresh to me right now (nice catalog too). The Hansen Family.

Gabbeh can be fabulous or go drastically wrong down the Cosby sweater road. These however are some great examples of how it is done right via Driscoll Robbins.

Even though I now think shipping containers don’t make great building materials, I’m still taken by the idea. Just seems like such a great re-use and so, so close. Here’s a recent example forwarded from our friends at Housefish, the Meka series. And I tend to agree, how are they including all that for the small one at 39k?
C’mon someone, enter your credit card info and let us know!
