I had a blast on my recent trip to Seattle. In fact, my little black book is updated and now chock full of great finds! I also explored two fabulous vintage and antique stores about five miles south of downtown. Read on to see what I saw.

I have a penchant for visiting museums in private homes -- you really get a glimpse into the life of the owner. On my most recent trip to London, I had the opportunity to explore three different homes. Have you been to any of them? Do any pique your interest? Do tell!
