Fidget Finds Trunk Show at Rummage

Some exciting news: Fidget Finds will be hosting a trunk show at Rummage in Tiverton Four Corners this Saturday, July 17th from 11-5! That's right, all you southeastern New England gals can come get your Fidget fix in person. I will be setting up shop outside Rummage, a spectacular vintage consignment shop, at 3845 Main Road in Tiverton, Rhode Island (right next door to the Four Corners Grille.) Rummage has a very well curated mix of vintage and designer, clothing and housewares. If you love Fidget Finds, Rummage will be sure to strike your fancy as well. The Four Corners Art and Artisan Festival is that day, as well as the Southcoast Artists Open Studios which are two more reasons to come check out the epicenter of our quaint little town. It's going to be a beautiful summer day and I would love to see you there!!

PS- Bostonians! I will be at the Southend Open Market on Harrison Ave the next day on Sunday, July 18th!

(Another) Wedding Weekend

This past Saturday was Kaitlyn's beautiful wedding at Zorvino Vineyards in Sandown, New Hampshire. The weather was a bit gray so vows were exchanged inside but the night was wonderful; delicious food, copious amount of wine, and dancing with my amazing friends and boyfriend. It couldn't have been any better. I wore a vintage halter dress that I've had for many years, my awesome glitter Michael Kors platforms (from Marshall's!), and this really great geode bracelet I scored last time I went to Brimfield. Speaking of the biggest outdoor antique market, it's this week! So get down there is you have a day off and tell me what you find!

Turn of the Last Century

Yesterday, my friend Andi treated me to a production of "Hello, Dolly!" for my birthday. The play was presented by the Theatre By The Sea in Matunuck, RI. While musicals aren't always my thing, this one was really good. The costuming and sets were especially fantastic. Here's some fashion from the 1890's which is when the play took place. During hot weeks like this last one has been, be thankful that you get to wear cutoffs, tanks, and flip flops. In August, TBTS is putting on "Little Shop of Horrors", I can't wait for that one!

Independence Day

Yet another super busy, but super fun weekend! Saturday night was my friend Kaitlyn's Bachelorette Party. We met when my mom babysat for her and her sister the summer before I went into second grade, so you can say that we've know each other for quite a while. We had a blast mixing some fancy cocktails, dressing up, and dancing the night away. I wore a frilly little strapless number from H&M but bought at a thrift store, Steve Madden shoes, and a plethora of vintage gold jewelry. Sunday was spent recovering from the night before and Monday was Brian's family's big Fourth of July bash in Bristol, RI. We ate delicious food from the sea and spend the day in the pool. I kept my bathing suit on all day even though I had a perfect patriotic outfit, guess I'll save it for next year.

Looking Forward to 27!

I had a most fantastic birthday this year! On Wednesday night my mom and dad treated Brian and I to a wonderful dinner at The Back Eddy in Westport, MA. We sat right on the water and indulged in wasabi deviled eggs with raw tuna and roe, local scallops with a summer succotash, and Shy Brothers cloumage cheese with orange mint marmalade and candied pecans for dessert. Cheese for dessert? Yes please! It was a little chilly but we had a fantastic view of the sunset. I wore a vintage skirt, sunnies, and yellow beaded necklace. My black tank is from Target and my perfect color poppy red espadrilles are new but thrifted. When we got home that night, Brian gave me some supremely wonderful birthday gifts, but more on those later.







Yesterday, my actual birthday, I had a perfectly relaxed day with my mom. We went to The Barn in Adamsville for breakfast and spend the day at South Shore Beach in Little Compton, RI. It couldn't have been a more perfect day. The sun was shining bright in a blue, blue sky and the breeze kept us from getting too hot. Brian and I had pizza for dinner before some friends came over for ice cream cake and a fire in the backyard. It. Was. Perfect.






I wore a thrifted Betsey Johnson dress (yes, thrifted, I got it for under $10), Steve Madden red leather platforms, and a vintage belt and earrings. After about an hour I changed into cargo pants, a tank top, and flip flops for hanging out in the backyard.

It's My Birthday!

Tomorrow is my birthday and I am taking a much needed day off! See you on Friday with new items in the etsy shop!

Wedding Weekend

What a fun weekend I had! On Saturday morning I went to some yard sales and bought some great stuff; vintage jewelry, a beaded purse, a stitched coastal scene wall hanging, a dolphin soap dispenser, and an awesome mod coffee table for $3. That afternoon Brian and i attended his cousin's wedding ceremony right on the water at a private residence in Bristol, RI. It was a little gray out which is why the photos aren't popping with wonderful bright summer colors, but beautiful nonetheless. I wore a vintage dress that I bought at an auction a few months ago. The color couldn't be more perfect and it fits like it was made for me. You can't really see it in the photos, but the circles are ornate designs in gold print. I accessorized with gold vintage jewelry and newer shoes from TJ Maxx. An older woman told me that I looked so beautiful and sophisticated while so many of the other women there "are dressed like trash." I guess that's the thing about wearing vintage; you can look sexy without showing too much. That and old people will love you because you remind them of their youth. The reception was held that evening at The State Room in Boston. It's a function venue on the 33rd floor right in downtown. The views were amazing and it was great to watch the city lights come up as the sun went down. The food was absolutely delicious and we had so much fun dancing. For some reason there were long skinny balloons floating around and Brian had me in stitches after he whipped up a balloon animal giraffe in about 5 seconds. That boy never ceases to amaze me. (Apparently he had a "How to Make Balloon Animals" book as a child.)

Sunday was spent at the SOWA Open Market and what a perfect day! The sun was bright and shining and my booth was full the entire time. I'm so glad you gals love Fidget Finds so much! My next SOWA won't be until July 18th as there is no market on the 4th and I have a wedding the following weekend. I will be posting items on etsy this week and next, so stay tuned!
