July Must-Haves: Retro Glasses from Firmoo

A pair of vintage eyeglasses is somewhat the bravest choice that you could try on this summer. There is a popular believe that retro look is the most classical one when you make good use of it. Vintage eyeglasses are mixed with the standard and subdued colors. So they could easily get highlighted during a nighttime or in a crowd. Excitingly, you can find your First pair for free for vintage eyeglasses at Firmoo.com.

 

A perfect combination of modern fashion trends and retro look create a different formation that speaks much about the fashion and latest fashion trends.

Merry Christmas to me Part 7

I have started to get some Christmas goodies in the mail from my dear friends, so I thought to start sharing them with you and make you drool! 

You do know how much I love my friends at the Trading post, not only for the goodies that I can trade for, but for all the love they send to me every day. 

 Each Christmas we do a Secret Santa gift exchange, meaning we create a list of people who want to participate and our organizer will match us randomly. 

I got to be the Secret Santa for Cindy at Seabreezejewels and I was delighted to send her my new product to test: reusable swiffer pads  

 My Secret Santa instead, was Nel from yesterdaytrunk that sent me some lovely vintage crochet magazine and instructional books and delicate napkins 

Trading buddies: SecondhandNel/NelHutch

Vintage Feature: ScenicRoots

Vintage Pink Rose Resin and Enamel Brooch - by Pell - $38 by ScenicRoots

I know, I rarely feature vintage but when I found out that the treasury list that brought me to the Etsy Front Page was made by ScenicRoots, I couldn't help but feature her gracious shop....The more I click and the more seems to me to be entered in my grandmother kitchen all over again, in the old grandpa's house, smelling her yummy food and eating ice cream on the table with my brother and cousins. That house, and its content, got destroyed by an earthquake later on and all I have is few china plates and all my memories that ScenicRoots happily brought back to me after all this years.

Vintage Handpainted Floral Patterned Decorative Plate - Germany - $14 by ScenicRoots

Let's get to know Tammy a little bit better and what she has to say about her business:

I grew up in a family of artists, crafters, and collectors. So ever since I can remember I was either creating something or tagging along on an antiquing day with the family. Either hearing about the history of an item or now having access to research it on my own has always fascinated me. I have always enjoyed working with my hands and especially love giving new life to a cool find.

I am a mom to three beautiful children that also share these same passions and appreciations. Have been a stay at home mom for the past two years and although it has been a bit of a struggle, it has opened my world up to so many beautiful things.


I collect things that make me smile or touch me in some weird way, so you will always see an eclectic mix. I enjoy even more, creating pieces by blending new and vintage with a touch of modern sensibility.

Vintage Folkart Rooster Napkin Holder - Lego Japan - $18 by ScenicRoots

Tammy can also be found on twitter, flickr and a very interesting blog, Purple Deer Vintage.

Hope you enjoyed ScenicRoots as much as I did :)

A shop I love: TheStraightStitch

I found another treasury in twitter land and I'm going to share it with all of you: TheStraightStitch.

Parasols Cutlery Wrap, $10 by TheStraightStitch

Another plastic fork broken mid-salad? Another plastic knife for the landfill?

Have you been tempted to carry your own cutlery with you, for the good of the the environment, for convenience or to avoid that irritating broken fork salad situation?

Keep your flatware clean and tidy in this handy and stylish cutlery roll-up. The flap folds over to keep your cutlery from falling out, so you can toss this into your bag without even thinking about it. There's even a pocket for your napkin, cloth or paper, whichever you choose. Flip the wrap over and it would make a great little place mat.

Measures 10"x12". Comes from a smoke a pet free eco-home. Machine wash cold (preferably) and hang to dry.

Retro Flowers Cutlery Wrap, $10 by TheStraightStitch

I fell in love with this wraps thinking how practical would they be for hubby and the children that eats out every day, but there is a lot more on TheStraightStitch: you can find Enviro Lunch Bags, Wet Bags, Ring Slings and she also have a SALE section.

Dogs Cutlery Wrap, $10 by TheStraightStitch

The items that you will find in this store are made with unique, vintage and reclaimed fabrics. I aim to breathe new life into unwanted and outdated clothing/fabric by turning it into items that we need and use in our everyday lives. Let us be both Functional and Funky!

I hope you enjoy and pay TheStraightStitch a visit ;)

I have been sewing for 15 years and just recently became interested in vintage textiles and how they might be turned into fashion forward bags and accessories.
I have a collection of vintage fabrics as well as patterns from the 40's and 50's. I love the fashion of the 50's with the small waist and full skirts, and the smart suits.
I am a stay at home mom of three girls and after my youngest went to Kindergarten last year, I converted my office into my studio and started sewing handbags, and pillows and aprons. After friends and family kept telling me I should sell my stuff, I had a grand opening party at my sisters and made a lot of money so I decided that maybe they were right!
