FASHION SHOW, FASHION SHOW! FASHION SHOW AT LUNCH!

The only hitch with this vintage dress is the fact that it isn't lined. But that's nothing a slip can't remedy.

It's designed to have a belt, but when I got this from the swap it didn't have one. Thankfully, I have this belt I think I got second-hand from Melissa when I dove through a giant box of her old clothes.


Mikki dyed this dress periwinkle, and I love that it has such subtle color to it. I can style this a lot of different ways and get a lot of use out of such a well-preserved and well-structured dress. I'm really excited for Kev to replace the zipper though, because in it's current, delicate state I can't zip it myself.

Do you wear vintage? It's not something I specifically seek, but if I come across a beauty like this (especially for free) I don't care if the item is 100 years old or just made yesterday.

I don't even want to take my measurements to see if this would fit.

How cute would this be with a little yellow or green cardigan?

A petite Christmas

I was going to be a big scrooge and keep all the Christmas stuff packed up this year because our front room is so full of everything (it's our computer room, our TV room, our hangout room etc...).

But then I realized that I can't do that to Aspen. It's her first Christmas and she deserves to have a Christmas tree and to see ornaments and all that jazz.

I'm not in the market for more decorations, but I still like looking. This trio of trees doesn't take up a lot of space and they would be a great addition to winter/Holiday decor in any home, especially one that's small like mine.

I've had my eye on this since May.

I just purchased a blessing dress for my Pilates buddy.

UPcycling

Currently, my collection of rings is housed in an empty lotion jar. When I finished using it, I decided not to waste it, so I washed it out and plopped my rings in it.

That can't keep me from wishing I had something a little more stylish to display my jewelry. Which brings me to this vintage juicer.

Coast to coast

I'm hosting a sale in my Etsy shop to make room for new merchandise (no idea yet when that's going to be unveiled, so hang in there) so be sure to check it out! Until April 30th, all merchandise will be 50% off the purchase price.

My favorite part about the sale so far is that this necklace was purchased by two lovely ladies on opposite coasts. One lucky new owner is in California, while the other is in Maine.

Good to know it's a versatile style.

Be sure to get yourself a little treat while the sale is still hot!

Just in time

My Holiday Sale starts tomorrow! Join the Facebook fan page to get the scoop on discounts good December 1st-15th only.

I'm a winner.

Jess and I have each hosted a number of giveaways on our blogs.

And we keep winning them. Meaning, she wins mine and I win hers. It must be some kind of conspiracy.

Recently, I became the proud new owner of this beautiful antique key necklace that Jess made.

She has others options available in her Etsy shop, so if you're dying to have a vintage key necklace, you can easily find one without any hassle. The thing I love about his key is that the purple side is rich in color, while the back is in its original state. It's an awesome contrast.

I hear she may consider doing custom orders for lap top covers too. Just look at the one she made for a friend and tell me that isn't amazing!

bon-JOUR!

J'aime cette chaise. C'est magnifique!

Trouvez-la ici.

Je souhaite que j'ai eu $800.

A collection of some of my favorite things in the Pink House.

Welcome to the first thing you see when you walk into my kitchen. Allow me to show you some items in detail.

When some offices moved around on the WSU campus, it meant that a lot of abandoned items were up for grabs: office furniture, trash cans, and random cookware/flatware/dishes in the break rooms.

I got these tins. At the PH, they house candles, apple cider mix, mail, and dog bones. They match perfectly with the WSU library desk Kev got for me out of a dumpster.

This month, I finally found a gravy boat and saucer that I love. It's from Etsy, of course. I purchased it from A Touch of Vintage, and I couldn't be happier with it. Now I no longer have to serve syrups and sauces from my Pyrex measuring cup (this gravy boat is actually a Pryex product from back in the day).

When the Harrisville D.I. opened up (to replace the tiny one in Ogden) Kev, Paul and I ventured over on the day of its grand-opening. I'm glad I did, even if I had to sacrifice eating dinner on time.

I found these white pillar candle holders for a deal. I love thrifting.

They live in the bathroom for now. Because... it's a practical place for candles.
