I have been looking for an Easter type vintage purse..
While it's kinda hard to see, it's cool ~ it has little rhinestones and embriodered flowers in different colors under the plastic.
A tile state plate...
Party pics still in the wrapper, little top hats, elephants, and music notes!
Turquiose flowered bowl covers in the package. Check out those prices!
The middle one is Lily and the one in pink is Kate. Those are my two granddaughters, my oldest son's kiddos. The little one in the black dress is Luna, their cousin.

















Found this great pink and black fifties chair for $12.00 at Salvation Army!


Last time I tried to get a challenge for retro laundry rooms started, I didn't get very far..So, bloggers, please show me your dirty laundry! No, just kidding, I wanna see other's ideas for a cute retro laundry room!!


cute little pink bird
inside birdy bowl
blue flower pie server, ceramic
metal glass holder/carrier
handle on glass holder
vintage 1953 soup cookbook
tomato juice glasses
Bathroom pinups
Marilyn of course
Lots of metal signs in kitchen, this one from my best friend for my daughter and boyfriend's
Christmas present...we all love coffee!
She has great taste! She puts things together in her own special way...
Last night she had me and Grandma Lucy over for dinner! The table's all set! Formica of course~
not vintage but very cool radio/record player
This Tiki sign is something I picked up for them at a thrift store this weekend! Valentines present! Brian and India have a lot of signs in their kitchen, and hoot owls
This was my chandelier, but it was perfect for their place! She is so cool! Don't know if it's hereditary? From her father, of course? More later! She didn't have it very bright in there, so I will go back in the daytime. My cheapo cheapo camera doesn't have a flash!
