Hi, I’m Jill.

Creating a home is a process and it's something best done over time. Home should be a haven where we can craft the life we want. I love homes with lots of books, comfy spots to lounge, organized spaces to work, beautiful treasures from life and travels, and mementos from a life well spent. But the thing I love most about homes, is the life that's lived there.

It’s been a weird year no doubt, and working on my vintage booth has given me an important mental escape. What could be better than good memories, which are easily sparked when seeing something vintage (“my grandma had those glasses” or “we had that game as a kid” etc.) What vintage items bring back memories for you? #vintagefinds #livingstonantiqueoutlet #thrillofthehunt

Since everything is closed these days and we’re all home practicing social distancing, it’s a good time to paint. Obvi I can’t take anything to @livingstonantiqueoutlet so I’ll just be stockpiling for when things go back to “normal”, whatever that is.

Sharing my goblets for the #desertrosechallenge by @chairwhimsy and @simplysoutherncottage because this is all I currently have. My mom still has all the dishes, but I brought the goblets home in my carryon last time I visited. I grew up spending several weekends going to the Franciscan outlet with my mom, adding to her Desert Rose collection. I was raised in the San Fernando Valley outside Los Angeles and I think the outlet was somewhere near Sylmar, but it was the 70s and I was a kid searching for china with my mom. They sold seconds that couldn’t pass as perfect, and I remember helping to find the ones where the flaws weren’t noticeable. I remember being there when they began offering the pink goblets and my mom was over the moon! I have 12 of them, the collection she had, and soon I will begin carrying back (once again in my carryon) the dishes so this token of my childhood will live on at my adult table. Thanks for the trip down memory lane! #desertrosechallenge #pink #franciscan #vintagefinds #fleamarketstyle #vintageglass #vintagedishes #desertrosegoblets #homedecor

Are there any repurposers out there? If so, you’ll appreciate this because this is ingenuity at it’s finest! This cute wood tray has a wood hanger as a handle...genius and one-of-a-kind! I can’t even with stuff like this, I just love it so much. It’s usable and a great conversation piece, available in my little booth at @livingstonantiqueoutlet #vintagefinds #oneofakind #repurposed #farmhousedecor #fleamarketfinds #fleamarketstyle #thrillofthehunt

Man, I am so bad at being sick 🤒 Today was one last thing I had “to do” before I lean into this flu I have, and spend the weekend on the couch binging on Netflix! This is day 7 of this and I think it got worse🙄 I got sick while I was out west visiting family and flew back on a red eye (kill me before I do that again) and just today my right ear finally popped! Being sick is the worst, but you know it was bad if I was procrastinating going to fill my booth back up at @livingstonantiqueoutlet it was soooo thrashed! I had sold 2 big pieces while I was gone for 2 weeks and it needed stuff! So it’s back filled with goodies and now I’m officially done with public life til like Monday. If you have a recommendation for what I should binge watch this weekend on Netflix or Amazon Prime, please leave me a comment. I’m almost done with “The Crown” and will need something good to watch! #couchpotato #vintagelover #fleamarketfinds #fleamarketstyle #vintagestyle #vintagefind #peelychippy #thrillofthehunt #livingstonantiques

Im a bit obsessed with the most unusual tree we found this year, it has two trunks! You know what that means, two toppers!! Just a little spin around @livingstonantiqueoutlet and I found two vintage ones, to match my vintage shiny bright ornaments and “old school” ornaments the kids made when they were little. It’s perfect and unusual! #vintage #tree #twotrunks #shinybrite #fleamarketstyle #fleamarketfinds

I’m loving the look of copper these days, and snatch it up whenever I can. The patina of old things is most interesting. Don’t you agree?

The mantle in the kitchen is still a work in progress, but I’m digging this vintage art I picked up over the summer while shopping at @66uniqueantiques and I’m not sure if it was meant to be a Christmas scene, but it totally had that Christmas village vibe to it! Signed in 1938 (swipe to see signature) it’s now looking festive amongst my fresh greens I clipped today from my friend’s yard. Also rounding out the display are a few estate sale finds from recent, two legit old trophy cups (out of shot but I’ll show them later) and an old bead garland. Lots more to do but this was the thing I wanted to start with. #vintagechristmas #christmasgreens #fleamarketstyle #fleamarketdecor #vintageart #vintage #homedecor #estatesalefind #decoratingforchristmas #seasonaldecor
