We're looking for a place closer to my work that we both really like, which has been harder to come by than I thought.
I've noticed that the last time we were apartment-hunting, I also was on the hunt for new pieces to decorate. This time it's been much the same. My search this time lead me to Curate And Love.
Curate And Love is owned by the lovely Ivy. Her store is a beautiful collection of vintage pieces - just browsing through it makes me feel like I am at a Vintage Art Gallery. Everything is so carefully put together and flows so well - it's like she's telling a charming story.
She adores nature and living in Portland, OR, she is surrounded by gorgeous scenery. Portland boasts amazing wineries, great restaurants and a great art community, so in addition to natural beauty, it also has a lot of great man-made contributions. She loves capturing all the details of Portland with her camera, and also enjoys history. This helps her stay connected to her lovely vintage findings, and she has been collecting for ten years!
Along with collecting antiques and photography, Ivy enjoys painting and collage, as well as reading.
Ivy is generously giving a reader a lovely piece from her collection. To enter, please visit Ivy's store and give me three words that you think best describe Curate & Love. The winner will receive their choice of the last three items featured in this post. I will announce the winner next week.

Ivy makes us wish we'd live in her "imaginary" store instead of going treasury hunt, doesn't she?
Delicate, lovely, feminine.
Thanks!

lovely, classic, feminine.
How utterly charming!
I should describe her shop as darling, quaint, and English.
Her whole shop is a romantic, whimsical reverie (my three words).
My goodness, there isn't anything in her shop that I don't love! I imagine using the vintage floral dessert plates for serving mini cakes and other treats to friends.
The vintage floral English Daher tin would hold 100 slips of paper with 100 things that are precious to me.
Thanks so much for sharing, Dionne!
Heirloom, treasure and delicate

Inviting, sweet, elegant
I'd describe it as delicate unhurried time. You most certainly can't rush tea sets like that.
Whimsical, Fanciful, & Enchanted.

Curate and Love is delightfully antiquarian, refined and...hmm...simply gorgeous. (Sorry, couldn't refrain from a couple of adverbs as well.)
Good luck with the apartment hunting process.
I absolutely love your posting format of pictures! I would love to have the time to be able to do that! Such a pretty blog dear! love it!

Fairyland, Love story , Young soul
Fairyland - because all her collection *calling them items will be an insult to such beauty* feels to be belonging to a fairy story, say just like "CINDERELLA" where she lived in a castle full of such collection.
Love Story - They speak volume of being the watchers of an ancient love story, which remains unspoken and untold, still that love remains alive through these unspoken things. :)
Young Soul - They seem to be a fantasy for a young soul a young girl, who wishes to be like a princess one day, waiting for her prince, sipping tea in the vintage tea set. The collection feels fresh and young "FOREVER" :)
Opulent (without being over the top), Cozy (in a very nostalgic way) and Loved (as every piece is loved and passed or bought out of love).
Vintage, elegant, chic
