Shopping in the name of 'research"...

I met my Corvallis Ladies in Albany last week to check out a few sales. My mom and her Cohorts in Crime let me crash their vintage shopping trip. I got in the car at the crack of dawn (9:00am) and hit the road for Albany. Coffee, bottle of water and almonds....I am ready to SHOP. Powered UP.

First stop was Blackberry Junction. I was thrown off-guard by the name, I have to say. I thought it would be a little bit country...and I felt a little bit rock'n'roll. WRONG. Loved it....

I couldn't capture a picture to do this fine establishment justice. GREAT displays, lots of greenery, layers and METAL. I HEART metal. I found loads of vintage letter baskets. Swoon.

Next stop is The Vintage Roost which I have wanted to shop for YEARS (and years and years). I cannot find a blog link for them and I do not have a postcard, but let me tell you there is more magic in this smallish outbuilding and the surrounding grounds than one could possibly imagine.

I came home with this beauty of a metal double sink and filled it with my beauty of a Chiweiner dog.

And why was I researching (okay...shopping)...? 

Teeheeheeheehee.....there is a plan a brewin'.........
