About Me

Blackbird
We are the Blackbird girls. Two friends, roomies, and business partners that can read each other's minds about 90% of the time. One of us teaches science, and one of us is a freelance designer. We both love design, art, pop culture, and anything vintage. This blog is a record of our junk, our journeys to find the junk, and how we always tend to fall in love with certain junk right before it becomes trendy.
