I had a baby so I’ve invited some fave guests to take over for me while I spend time with the little guy. Today’s post is from an expert at unearthing fave finds, Mallory of Gems.

While I love buying vintage goods, I don’t talk about them very much on my blog and I must admit that it’s for purely selfish reasons: I blog about the things that I like and I don’t want anyone else to buy the awesome vintage things I find! I want to keep them alllllll to myself. Apologies.

Of course, I don’t have the funds to buy even 1/20th of my findings, but… still. Still! There’s this small hope that the item will stick around in the shop long enough for me to find that elusive chest of gold in my back yard.

For this guest post I decided I’d throw aside my no blogging about vintage things tendencies. Call it a limited engagement.
While my favorite search term to use on Etsy is “novelty print” (you find the most amaaaaaazing skirts & dresses that way), I’m also partial to searching for “polka dot” and “floral print” items. For this post, I found a ton of wonderful things covered with flowers. I’ve got spring on the brain.
