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.

I need a day out for some fun, what about you? Maybe a little shopping trip to @livingstonantiqueoutlet for some treasures. I’m in booths 25 and F7. Lots of goodies! #thrillofthehunt #vintagefinds #livingstonantiqueoutlet

Meow, it’s almost October! Time to head over to @livingstonantiqueoutlet to find that perfect vintage find to complete your fall decor. Happy hunting! #vintagefinds #thrillofthehunt #vintagestyle

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

This is my other little booth. It has no number but I’m at @livingstonantiqueoutlet next to the amazing @fragments009 who is in booth 46. It’s a tiny little booth but it has some fun stuff. Restocked today, come by and see me! #vintagefinds #livingstonantiqueoutlet

Little booth refresh at @livingstonantiqueoutlet in booth #25. Oh, did I mention that I moved to the booth next door? Lots of goodies and more in my other booth! Also, there’s a sale going on! #vintagefinds #livingstonantiqueoutlet #thrillofthehunt #vintage

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
