Simply Irresistible

(Daisy Pink Cupcake)

(Just a Girl)

Let's just say that if I ever spot any of this Holt-Howard Pixieware at a flea market or antiques shop, you can consider it sold! I believe the second image of the girl wearing a cupcake hat is by Enesco. It is another vintage figurine that I'm sure would be calling my name...and how could I resist?

Vintage Prom Dresses

I saw this photo of some bridesmaids on Snippet & Ink, and thought the idea of vintage prom dresses for the wedding party was adorable! I am absolutely not making any hints or suggestions for my friend Sara's wedding, but just enjoyed the pastels and the unique idea. I especially love the pink ones! Remember these vintage prom dresses from Miss Kate's house tour?!

Vintage Green Appreciation Day

Lately I have been drawn to this color that I like to call "vintage green". I guess it has a little blue in it too - so call it what you want, but I'm liking it at the moment. I noticed that Miss Kate has a few versions of it throughout her home and shops, and I have been seeing it all over blogs and magazines - on everything from walls, to furniture and accessories. It's been around for a while, and I guess I'm finally appreciating it - and publicly! Although I can appreciate the color, I have a hard time appreciating walls with chipping paint. I can deal with "chippy" furniture, but walls is another story! I think the color combination here is quirky and interesting. How do you feel about vintage green? Hot or not?

Too Cute

I just have to share this display from The Flying Cupcake booth at an Art and Antiques show. I just adore their use of vintage tablecloths, bunting, and of course the sweets!

Sleepin' on Vintage Pillowcases

I just love old pieces that have a history, and that may be passed on from generation to generation. My 89 year old grandmother received these pillowcases as a wedding present many years ago, and now she has passed them on to our family. It's always nice to have extra cases on hand for a quick change. There are millions of vintage pillowcases on Ebay, at antiques stores, and flea markets. It's a fairly inexpensive way to add a beautiful touch to your bedding, and to mix things up a bit. I hope to collect a few more myself!
