Antiques and Brunch

June 21, 2011

This weekend I meandered around various antique stores and had brunch with my fellow vintage lover/blogging buddy, Diana of Please Sir.

And though the vintage eye candy was lovely, I was especially smitten with the exterior of the warehouse space above. The chipping paint, the expansive garage bays….swoon.
