A Sucker For....Vintage Vanities

I mean vanity items of the vintage variety....I lust for them...I adore them....but I hate dusting them!

I was perusing Etsy today and found a few "must have" vanity items from some of my favorite sellers.

If you think they are just what you need....grab them before I hire someone to dust and make them mine....

Abducted By Aliens? Or.......

I could say that I was abducted by aliens...but that is a lie...at least I think it is...it would at least, be a lame excuse for not posting in ever so long. I have had no strange dreams or marks on my body to suggest I was abducted so I guess that I will just fess up to being a super lazy blogger.

I will do my best to keep up with my postings and not lapse into nothingness.....although I am a very imperfect person so don't hold your breath or anything, ok?

I want to show off some fabulous Etsy offerings...I may be slightly prejudiced as I think my fellow Vintage Fashion Guild members have the best vintage on Etsy or the planet but I promise you won't be disappointed.

Just too cute....
