Who doesn't love a good time capsule?

Some time capsules are buried in the ground by a previous generation just waiting for the future humanoids to dig up and be so impressed by a newspaper and a roller skate key (look it up). Happily for us, some are much easier to access and we can get ourselves a piece of them

When I first saw this Estate Sale happening in Rome this weekend all I could think of is that it feels like a time capsule. Not a far away time, but it definitely has a certain feel from a certain time.

Something about this couch and that table lamp just screamed a bygone era to me. It reminds me of my grandmother's home and instantly feels comforting and warm. And that is just what one wants to feel in their home. I may be jealous of the person who takes this couch home with them.

It appears that all the wood in this bedfarm and the dresser is a match and I am blown away by that level of detail. I have 5 different colors of wood in my bedroom so the fact that this feels like a full bedroom set is just wonderful to me. I may have to think about this for my guest room.

I have a soft spot in my heart for drop leaf tables. I make no excuses for this.

If I were a real man, I would already own something like this. I have always wanted to get into carpentry. Cue someone writing to me on our app that this thing has nothing to do with carpentry and I am only showing my ignorance. I wouldn't be surprised.

If any of this looks like you need it in your home, the sale at 6565 Lamphere rd begins at 9 on Friday morning. Perhaps I will see you there.

Flip Through the Vintage 1980s Sears Holiday Wish Book

Check out this Sears catalog that I got my hands on. It is actually the 1980 Sears Holiday Wish Book. It is nearly 500 pages of all of the things that you wanted to circle in the book so Santa knew what you wanted for Christmas. I picked out a bunch of electronics, retro toys, hand-held games, roller skates, big wheels, clothes, even a 1980s version of the electronic spin bike. Enjoy!
