Ladies, I ask you, what's not to like about these minute, geometric earrings? The hand-drawn chevron pattern and 4 distinctive shades of blue make them a must-have accessory--especially for all you shape-lovers out there.

These Boots Were Made For Reading.
I have trouble finishing books. However, a pair of legs sticking out of the pages might be a great visual cue for me to pick up said book and continue reading.

Rebirth Of Slick.
Vintage Eagle oil can, from Maude and Lola. |
There's a fundamental rule in regards to most vintage items: metal is greater than plastic. I guess they just don't make 'em like they used to...

A Pretty Pair.
Vintage glass cream and sugar set, from Wise Apple. |
Vintage pairs make me giddy. It's like having two treasures in one! And if you're a picky coffee drinker like me, you can't have your cream without your sugar. And that makes this lovely set perfect!
If you're a fan of pairs, you may also appreciate these mid-century modern salt and pepper shakers, from Tom Laurus Vintage.

Vintage rubber stamps, from Treasure Darling. |
I love, love, love vintage office equipment and supplies. Everything was made with such purpose back then--much different from their plastic counterparts in today's world.

Faux Bois Beauty.
Vintage GE toaster, from Found Beauty Studio. |
I love vintage. And I love vintage toasters. What's not to love about a little faux bois action coupled with a dose of shinny chrome!? And it works too!
