Ok, so with all of the wonderful pics I’m seeing on everyone else’s blogs in the last couple of weeks I am feeling extremely negligent in my Christmas decorating this year so far. And since I’m such a slacker I’ll share a little more of my DC adventures today.
While looking for some local DC Christmas shopping opportunities I came upon a vintage shop called Miss Pixie (thanks to my good friend Yelp)…well with that name you know I had to put it on my must see list!
The pictures on Yelp show a pink storefront with black & white awnings…oh yeah….but, not exactly what I found when I arrived.

| Miss Pixies 1626 14th St NW, Washington DC |
Other than a drastically different exterior I was so not disappointed by what I found on the interior. Such cool things!
 |
| How fab are these lanterns! |
 |
| This was cast iron so was heavier than it looks...would look so nice in my front entry.... |
And I came at just the right time of year. Miss Pixie does Christmas right! I have absolutely never seen such a collection of vintage Christmas bulbs (aka Shiny Brites).
 |
| Biggest regret of my DC trip...not buying up all of these! |
And where else are you going to see a blue feathered tree on one side of the store and a pink balsam tree on the other side?
 |
| This brings Dr Seuss to mind for some reason :) |
 |
| I've been looking for one of these this year...a bit tacky but tacky in a chic kind of way |
 |
| I love that this was priced at $150 and my exact duplicate cost me $20 in paint & materials. |
No question I picked wisely for my local DC stop…there was so much inspiration here.
 |
| Farm table perfection! |
I walked away with so many ideas…and a list of other cool shops in the area that Miss Pixie generously shares with any customer with a keen eye to the stack sitting on the counter. I'm all ready for my next DC adventure!
