Simple ways to go classic with blue and white
|
Hey there Reader, Scrolling around online looking or flipping through decor magazines, you've probably noticed how often blue and white shows up. It’s one of those color combinations that has stuck around for centuries, and it still works in homes today without feeling trendy or overdone. I just shared a new blog post all about decorating with blue and white: where the look comes from, why it’s lasted so long, and some simple ways to incorporate it into your home without changing everything. If you enjoy collecting vintage pieces, this is one of the easiest styles to build slowly over time. You can read the full post here:
French First Arrivals in the Online ShopEach week, new items sourced on my recent UK trip are being added to the new online shop. This week was all about France 🇫🇷 Half the items have already found their new forever home, but six more are still available. Over on the Lost & Found Facebook page, I asked about everyone's favorite antique shows and flea markets. Several great ones were shared, have you heard of any of these or made a trip to one? Have another to suggest?
And of course, don't forget about my own upcoming event, the May Found Collection Weekend! Dates to be announced soon :) I hope everyone has adjusted to Daylight Savings by now, I know I still had a hard time getting up this morning myself. But I do enjoy that extra hour of daylight in the evenings! See you again next weel :) |

A few small French pieces went live in the First Arrivals online shop today, and I thought I’d share a little about them. First are a pair of old painter’s palettes. They're amazing examples of how the process of making art can become art itself. Layered with years worth of oil paint,...
Happy Friday Reader! My England YouTube video just went live this morning 🇬🇧 To be completely honest, I wasn't sure I had filmed enough footage to even have a video to share, the trip was such a blur 🫠 So I was pleasantly surprised when I pulled my camera videos and found plenty of behind the scenes footage to make a video I'm really proud of. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. And just fyi . . . at the 13:40 mark in the video I get pretty vulnerable and share more about this whole giant...
I usually don't email on Sundays, but I was too excited to let this wait another day. The online shop took a week off to undergo a revamp, and today it's live again. Meet the new Found Collection, First Arrivals shop. Here you will find a curated selection of English, European, and American antiques sourced for the collected home. We start off with English Bread + Brass - timeless English breadboards, Victorian maple rolling pins, and collectible horse brass. Each week over the month of...
