Vintage Mint

Whenever I meet an old friend or need to give someone my contact info, I am always scrambling to find 1) a pen, and 2) any scrap of paper I can write on. Most of the time I have to borrow the pen and rip off a corner of an old bill envelope hiding at the bottom of my purse. Wow, not very classy {and easily lost or mistaken for trash}. Well no more! I’ve placed a custom order on Etsy for these beauties {half with an image of an acorn, the other half with a tree}:

{Laura Beth, the seller, is extremely nice and very accommodating!}

I’ve been loving the new Fall jewelry at J.Crew, but not loving their steep prices, especially for “gold-electroplated metal”. Imagine my surprise when I spotted a cheaper version of this bracelet on Etsy! Now if only someone can make an affordable version of the pine cone + squirrel bracelet…

{J.Crew, $85}

{Etsy, $34}

This girl’s outfit is wonderfully put-together: the wool blazer {similar to this}; the scarf {similar to this}; and the hat {similar to this}! And the glove-over-sweater combo is brilliant! I’m going to  have to find some black 3/4 length leather gloves now…

It’s going to be really hard for me not to buy this print. The composition is interesting, and I like the detail. Lou’s prints are so surreal and dream-like.

Aren’t these the cutest toadstool mushrooms? They’d look great on my office desk…on my nightstand…in some potted plants… hopelessly lost within a mid-80’s video-game castle… Okay, they’d look cute practically anywhere.

I am loving the color of these tea cups and saucers…

{Etsy, $18.50}

I would like to have a vintage globe for my husband’s office at home {um…or just for me!}. Don’t these look so academic?

This one lights up! {Urban Outfitters; $98!}

{Etsy; $65}

These are just sooo cute! They remind of me of the Totoro-like figurines I made in my art/ceramic classes. I’m going to have to buy some of these cute little bunbuns!

Aren’t these vintage cameras wonderful? Wonder how their photos turn out?
