Treasure Tuesday!

Drum roll please. I am about to introduce to you the most incredible, keel over, amazing sweater you will ever see...






Can you say, HOLY SMOKES WHAT AN INCREDIBLE FIND? This little beauty was discovered late one Saturday evening at my place of employment, Planted Earth.Seriously, if you haven't stopped by the adorable little Victorian house on St. Street, now is the time to do so. I found this sweater upstairs in the clothing section, and boy did I whip it off the hanger! Penny, the store owner, (I don't know how she does it, but she KNOWS the history behind each item in her store...amazing) told me that I won't find anything like this. This sweater was made in Hong Kong with each bead carefully hand-sewn on. It's almost to amazing to wear!

My New (Dream Job): Planted Earth

There's this little treasure right in the heart of Orem, Utah. Up until two years ago, I had no idea that such a magnificent gem existed. Once I stepped foot inside this store, my jaw dropped, my eyes grew big and I managed to mutter a small *gasp*. Before my eyes lay the greatest assortment of antique and vintage finds I had ever seen-at ridiculously insane prices! I know that as you read this you grow impatient (palms sweaty, keys at the ready) to find this gem yourself. And what store is it, may you ask? PLANTED EARTH. A boutique containing vintage and antique goods, plants and floral services. And the best part? I WORK THERE. You heard me right, I am the newest employee of Planted Earth, and I believe I have just died and gone to heaven...




Oh. My. Word. Would you look at that? Just look at that! I mean, holy smokes...it's everything I love wrapped all into one wonderful vintage heaven. As an employee of Planted Earth I am required to design flower arrangements, help to clean and price antiques, arrange displays, take flower deliveries, care for the greenhouse, paint furniture, and yes, learn to work with the resident ghost, Edna (ya..wasn't too thrilled about that particular job requirement, and no joke, she likes to mess with me). Seriously, this is my dream job, I am so blessed to work here!
