Who says you can't go home?
Home is such an irreplaceable feeling... There is a sense of tranquility, peace and deep comfort here that no other place in the world evokes.
It's funny because growing up in a tiny town in the middle of Iowa may have felt a little bit oppressive at the time... but coming back 10 years later I realize just how lucky I was to be raised here.
What an amazing feeling of community this place has... a place where people all truly care about each other... they want to know about you, and you about them. You find that you can relate on so many unspoken levels, and making genuine conversation with friends or complete strangers seems effortless. These experiences are so hard to come by elsewhere in the world, yet day after day you find them happening at home.
This past week has been such a beautiful one, reminding very clearly that the answer is yes, you can go home.

Stray Vintage, Sunnyside, (Queens) NY
Adorable, charming, totally special -- all the things I want a vintage store to be. I love Stray Vintage!This shop is so fun and frankly it's impossible for me to go in there and not find something I must take home. The prices are completely on point, and the store is so perfectly visually merchandised that even without buying anything I can walk away completely inspired with decor ideas for my apartment too...
Check out the pretty grouping of blue glass objects on top of this vintage desk...:)
I love how everything in this shop somehow feels like it has a story...
P.S. I bought this vintage 70's coral and white nightgown/house dress... the color! It was just too pretty to pass up, and honestly not bad for only $13 to bring a smile whenever I look at it.
