Fridays Finest

If you are interested in Fresh Quince devoting a Fridays Finest post in your hometown, please 'like' Fresh Quince on Facebook or follow via Google Connect and leave a comment below to let me know where. Fresh Quince will dedicate the first Friday of every month to cities of your choice! I have a few places lined up so far... Minneapolis, Virginia Beach and Raleigh. I truly look forward to 'travelling' around the country once a month and possibly finding just what you've been looking for!

Here are my fave's on DC's Craigslist right now...

  4. I am fascinated with what you are doing. Pretty much furnished my whole house with second hand purchases which makes everything have provenance. I wish I still had some decorating projects to do as you are so inspirational. Nowadays I just tweak things a little.
    I started a blog this winter to tell the story of 30 years in the same house. Next week, I plan on starting a before and after tour of most of the rooms. Having spent the winter scanning in all the old photo albums, I have been blown away by the cumulative changes over the years.

    I would love it if you would tackle Cleveland some Friday!

  9. Obviously, after reading this post I realize how many great stuff there are to be found out there on the second hand market. I just love it! Personally I´m a proud owner of a Marcel Breuer-Wassily chair plus one of those raindrop mirrors, love´em both:)!
