Vintage Love 09.Feb.09

Ahhh, I'm doing more window shopping for vintage lovelies. I came across more than I could possibly post about in one day, but here are my favourite finds from today:


Susantique: Unique Metal Stand



Modish Vintage: Moire Glaze Kyes Vanity or Serving Tray


The Hat Box: Vintage TRIFARI Brooch and Earrings Set

And there are a few other vintage lovelies that I am hoping to buy, so I will have to keep them a secret for now. ssssssh, don't tell.

More Vintage lovelies

I can't help myself. I keep scouring Etsy shops for cute vintage housewares. The other day, I came across this lovely teapot that I think would be a fantastic addition to my home. While I am attracted to modern furnishings, I do love the old when it comes to other things.

The Soft Palate: Shakedown

And this would be different from anything you could buy in a shop these days:

20somethingvintage: Cute Vintage Pleated Apron

And this last item is something from my childhood in the 70's. Almost every family had something resembling this in their kitchen:

Ginchygear: Vintage Pyrex Crazy Daisy Casserole

Etsy Vintage Love

Along with my new obsession with buttons, I have found that I'm particularly drawn to vintage housewares. On a weekend getaway last spring, I dropped into a little antique store on the Sunshine Coast and bought what I thought was just a cute teapot. Turns out it's a 1940-50's vintage Melitta coffeepot/teapot! Well, now I'm constantly on the lookout for more vintage housewares, such as these:

Buppins: Vintage Compotes

You know when you get that "I've got to have those!" feelings? Well, I feel that when I look at this picture, but alas, they aren't available for shipment to Canada :(.

I'm also really diggin' The Collectors Closet: Vintage Powder Box

And this is what I get when I combine my two newest obsessions!
