Back from Vacation!

This was the first time I didn't want to return home from holiday - this place is so amazing, so vintage so....me! Karpenissi, in the heights of the Greek mountains, is full of stone-built little villages, running waters (drinkable,mmm..) and lots of vintage stuff I discovered in a small local store! If it was up to me I'd buy the whole place - by the way the owner's selling it to return to the States - but as it was our last vacation day,we'd already spent almost all our budget, so I settled for some gorgeous genuinely vintage keys,after a lot of careful searching and examining each one of them.Here's a shot:
I've already made some of them into pendants for my etsy shop,you can check them out here:

Before discovering those beautiful keys, I found (I'm getting real good at this finding thing),an absolutely amazing red Mercedes Bus from the 50's or 60's and my sweet hubby took some shots with me in them,but the best shot is the one I took -there's only room for one artist in the family,honey- and it's:
Cool,huh?and here's Moi:
Notice the fabulous style statement - sweatpants and leopard print hair band.Now, That should be on Vogue.
and here's the secret Greek school during the 1800's..
and a cute little tourist shop - love this color!

The day we left,I promised ''I'll be back'' just as Arnie..
