My Birthday Buying Trip for Vintage Fabrics and Textiles

November 3, 2020 By Lindsay Curren

Like most of us, travel hasn't really been on the agenda this year due to Covid restrictions and Covid caution. I know for many folks it's been tough to not get out to see relatives afar, and tough to forgo travel jaunts of every kind. My own take on travel is to almost exclusively travel in my home state of Virginia, with a little travel further afield occasionally.

Welcome to the Salvage Economy, Full Stop

March 11, 2020 By Lindsay Curren

One of my earliest memories as a little girl, probably just three- or four-years-old, was finding a small patch of grass and clover growing through a crack in the sidewalk. I was immediately drawn down in to that plucky green and sassy red-tipped clover.

Forage Consignment & Vintage collage

It's always fun to get to use alliteration in a title. But it's more fun to find a place worth alliterifying. Alliterifying? Okay. Anyway, if you love women's fashions, and lighting upon a real find — not just the racks and racks of predictable clothing at either the malls or the big brand stores — then you're gonna love Forage Consignment & Vintage on William Street in the heart of … [Read more...] about Femme finds at Forage in Fredericksburg

Black Dog Architectural Salvage & Antiques, Roanoke

July 15, 2015 By Lindsay Curren

  As part of our extra days in Roanoke (my hubby's pre-conference days) I insisted we were going to Black Dog Architectural Salvage & Antiques because I had heard so many good things about it. We're not currently renovating anything, but if you're up for salivating over every re-use possibility under the sun, especially drawing on old fixtures, windows, columns, hardware, tiles, doors, … [Read more...] about Black Dog Architectural Salvage & Antiques, Roanoke
