Newly Listed...MOD Sky Blue Rain Cape

I absolutely love this vintage 60's , perfect for the spring & summer, rain cape.

I'm not sure if it is the lovely sky blue color accented with white topstitching, buttons and belt buckle or if it is the swingy mod styling that makes me smile the most.
With its basically, one size fits all styling, I am thinking it would make a perfect gift for any vintage lovin' gal!

Just listed it over at Club Vintage on Etsy.

My Once A Month Posting....Or Why I Am A Horrible Blogger

I have tried to keep up with my blog....really I have.

I just adore reading every one's blogs as I sit down to decompress...or let my brains return slowly to my head after a long day at my real-life job....a behavior specialist at a high school...need I say more...

Anyway....I just have the hardest time doing more than reading...writing seems to be beyond my capabilities at the end of the day.

So here after a month's absence are a few new pieces over at Club Vintage on Etsy.

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....
