Today we stopped in to one of our favorite vintage furniture stores in all the world, Funtiques. This is definitely one of those places we go when we need a little day brightening. It's a local treasure. The new location is so beautiful. If you live in our area (or plan to visit) this shop is a must see.
Hope you've enjoyed our little photo diary of one of our favorite shops! We'll share more local spots in the next few months. Do you have a local shop in your town that makes your day every time you visit? xo. elsie + emma

That sounds like such an amazing place!
One of my faves is the cutest shop called "My Local Thrift Store", which is just 2 blocks from my house. It's always full of treasures, and never fails to brighten my day!

I always love love love seeing antique shops across the country! Aaron and I had our first booth in an Antique Center at 21! It was soo much fun working our one day a week! Our neighboring booths were the quirkiest older couple who specialized in Art Deco pieces and the most hilarious and tiny guy with the biggest personality that was known all over NJ/NYC for his amaazing Mid Century stuff. I have such great memories of those times! :)

Looks amazing! Not many shops like this where I'm from but I can see why it would brighten your day. Thrifting makes me happy - I love searching my local Value Village for great vintage finds.

Oh MAN. Seriously - the amount of amazing vintage is the US is just...mindblowing. Sigh. Those pennants, glasses and that light fitting are divine.

Of course we enjoyed:) I don't have such a shop in my town, even in my country I think, but I've seen the prettiest shop in the world in Prague, Czech Republic. Its full of beautiful furnitures (every one is unique) and colorful clothes. I visited it only once, but it definitely made my day!

What is that thing with all the clear containers with handles? 5th pictures down? I have no idea what it could be used for but I suddenly feel like I need it.

Yes, my favorite local shop in my town(the Valley in L.A.) is Handmade. It is a beautiful shop where local artists take there art,clothing, jewlery, and cute things of all sorts to sell. I can spend hours in that store. I'm sure you would love it there.
