Who I Spent My Down Time With...

Vogue Magazine and Lindt Chocolates, best down time ever.

Little By Little...

I picked up a few things a month ago. It seems to be a little bit of a drought of very nice vintage things lately. But I guess that means there is soon to be a flood of goodies!

New items in the store!

I added these items to my store. http://avintagevixen.bigcartel.com/

Vintage Revlon Compact




Polka Dot Stretch Belt



Feather Slippers

Its My B-day Today!

I had a little trip...





I just got back from having some fun at the nature center. One of the nice things about it is the butterfly garden house.



Me at the Garden House.



If you look close you can see some butterflies.



Shhhh...the babies are sleeping.



This one stood still for me.



Some Souvenirs...



It was just lovely. I also went to the flea-market of course! I will post pics of my findings soon!

Before and After

I have come a long way in collecting. PS I forgot to fill the hole in the after pic because I was wearing those particular earrings that day...Go figure!

I'm Gonna Need A Bigger Jewelry Box!!!

I have way too many brooches and earrings and they are starting to pile up. I never thought I would have something as pretty as brooches pile up! But I have been watching a lot of Lucy lately because I got the I Love Lucy box set. She has the most cutest outfits ever. I have been inspired by her. She almost always has beautiful jewels on and even when she goes casual she has the cutest flats paired with a sparkly robe. So chic! When I stare through the glass counter I get so excited. Then to see how much they are priced I go crazy. It seems there is always a way to look expensive without being expensive. All the glamour of dresses and makeup were everyday things in yesturyear. But today it might look too gawdy...I say be glamourous! Its every womans right!





I know how you feel Lucy!

I like Shiny Things!

I had to show these pins by themselves because I am so happy to have gotten them. They were fairly cheap and just beautiful. They are also a little heavy which proves to be sturdy. Pins just add glam to any outfit, just ask (one of my favorite gals) Dita Von Teese...
