PASSING ON MY LOVE OF VINTAGE

I have always loved vintage....even when I was growing up. Now, I love it even more, and I collect it when I can.  I  seem to be passing that love on to my two granddaughters, and I'm so happy about that.



Right now, they are at the age of "wanting to spend the night with Grandmother", so I try to keep them entertained. :)


One of the things they love to play with is my 1940's (Repro) Fashion Paperdoll.


She lives in this vintage doll case I found on Ebay (ya'll know I love Ebay)


Who wouldn't love to have a vanity table like this? So 40's!





She has so many outfits with hats and shoes to go with each. 40's Fashions were SO pretty to me!







One of my favorite outfits.

                                       Evening Out.

                                       Time for bed.

She can even change her hair color and style.

I also wanted to show you my REAL vintage paper dolls. They are in wonderful shape to be so old.


Some little girl took very good care of them.  She even wrote their names of the back of them.


Peyton and Jamie are NOT allowed to play with these because they are so fragile.


I also have the Lucy doll from  Franklin Mint. She has been discontinued now, but you can still find her on the net.



She even came with her Vitametavegamin bottle and spoon. Some of those accessories belong to the Audrey Hepburn doll from "Breakfast at Tiffany's"


I gave Peyton the "Vintage" repro Barbie for Christmas, and she loves it and her vintage style clothes better than her modern Barbie. (YAY!)


A while back, I did a post about the 60's pink negligee I found .


Peyton LOVED it and couldn't wait to try it on. Here's her "dramatic" pose. :)

Here's Jamie with her "I Love Lucy" PJ's

The other night, we tried to do a 40's hairdo, which didn't turn out so good. (Under statement :-O)


We were going for the Betty Grable look.

THANKS FOR STOPPING BY AND SHARING MY LOVE OF VINTAGE.

I'm joining Suzanne's "Vintage Thingy Thursday"and
Debra's  " Vintage Inspiration Party "

Join them for more fun.

Happy Rednesday and Thank You, Bunny Jean!

Hooray! I had posted about how much I loved this mug but couldn't find it, and then I got
a letter from Bunny Jean at "Bunny Jean's Decor and More" telling me she had found it and where to order it.
Wasn't that sweet???? I am so excited to get this. (I Love my Bloggy friends)Thank You, Bunny Jean!


Those crazy Red Hat Ladies. You never know what outfits they will come up with next.

This was at the 4th of July Themed party last month.

See this lady's purse? It's made from an actual BRA! hehehehe



This was a skit we came up with. It was funny. We had two people (planted) come up from the audience to peek behind the curtain. They hooped and hollered about how ugly the "woman" was. Then we picked somebody (who we knew had a sense of humor),
and when she peeked behind the curtain, the "world's ugliest woman" jumped out, pointing and exclaiming that SHE was the ugliest woman SHE'd ever seen.
It went over really well.

Thanks for stopping by, and I'm headed over to Sue's REDNESDAY party.

Shopping at Stream Cliff

Hello, everybody. I recently did a post about the Stream Cliff Tea Room, and wanted to post a few more pictures. This time of the cute things you can buy in their several shops.

Let's go into the Summer Kitchen Art Studio.

If you love "Garden" or "Cottage" style, you would love these shops.

This was the shop in the Tea Room.

EVEN THE BATHROOM IS CUTE!!!!!

SEE? :)

I'll be joining "Outdoor Wednesday" at A Southern Daydreamer this week. Thanks for stopping by.

In the Dining Room

Hello, everybody. It's hot and humid here.  Definitely time for cold watermelon.  I used my "watermelon" runner for inspiration for this tablescape.









My green Ebay picnic basket fit right in with the color scheme.





Here, I decided to use a pitcher of geraniums instead of the red coffee pot.

I'm joining the party at Susan's "Tablescape Thursday" today. Thanks, Susan.

I Love Ebay

Hello wonderful friends! Whenever I see something I really love in a book or magazine, the first place I look is Ebay.


I was able to find this green picnic basket and rooster egg cup to recreate this tablescape.


You know I LOVED this display in a store window, but the lady wouldn't sell me the "Laundry" linen.


Eureka! This is my latest I was so excited when I found this almost the same piece on Ebay.




Loved this old Bovril advertising print.


Yay! Found it!


Vintage juice glasses..............


Yep! Found them!


I was even able to find original Agree shampoo from the 70's
(I didn't pay 40 cents for it though heheheheh)



By the way, if anybody knows where I can find this mug, please let me know. Ebay let me down on this one.
