Can't Get Enough Vintage

Fisher Price

I remember playing with quite a few of these toys when I was a little girl, they bring back so many happy memories! I just love their simplicity, no annoying sounds or flashing lights... just good old fashioned fun. I have acquired quite a collection of vintage Fisher Price myself and am looking forward to seeing our future children enjoy them as much as I did... old toys should be played with!
Hope your having a lovely day!

Brick & Mortar

Old Yellow Umbrella Location

We are so excited to get into the new space to give it the Yellow Umbrella feel. The downtown store has storefront windows, fitting rooms and real store feel to it. We have a lot of designing and planning to do in the next month. We will be blogging the transition process as it happens. So stay tuned for more updates and sneak peeks from behind the scenes of the Yellow Umbrella's relocation.

Future Yellow Umbrella

We can't wait to use the storefront windows!!

Have a great Tuesday!!!

Thrifty Finds

Thrifting is one of my absolute favorite things to do. Over the years I have found myself drawn to cute tiny animal figurines (especially ones with little red bow ties that say 'made in Japan' on the bottom, they are just too cute!) Here is a peek at a little house shelf that I thrifted and painted a pretty aqua blue, it hangs on my dining room wall and is the home to my tiniest animal treasures.

I love this tiny mermaid so much! (found it in Park Rapids, MN)

Also in my dining room are two awesome built in shelves that display some of my favorite vintage finds.

I have been wanting to stumble across Cathrineholm enamelware for years and finally it happened. A friend and I went on a little thrifting road trip and ended up in Brainerd, MN and there it was!

I just love little vintage fawn figurines.

This Kaj Franck Arabia Finel mushroom bowl is one of my most prized finds, I just adore the graphic mushroom design.

We are very busy getting ready for our Yellow Umbrella Gift Shop and Gallery relocation but I will try to get some good thrifting in soon and share all the goodies that find their way home with me.
