Scott and I hit up the Rose Bowl this Sunday. It's great that we live so close by now that we can roll on over and head home for lunch. We bought some cool brass duck bookends and some other small brass animals - perhaps to keep or sell on Etsy - and some fun vintage mechanics posters. We ran into Staci from 45 Three Modern Vintage, who had just run into Emily Hendersonwho was out looking for... Read more
