It is finally getting cool in the Bay Area!  The first real rainstorm and boy was it nice to get cozy and break out the sweaters.  And rain is the best weather for spending time perusing Etsy and Ebay for the finest vintage goodies around.

Enjoy!

One of my favorite people just opened up an Etsy shop, the Knickknacks filled with kiddo cuteness!  Like this perfect little blue and white checked baby girl dressie with cross stitch flowers. FOR ONLY EIGHT BUCKS.

I can’t say no to this cozy little “fur” jacket! With marching soldiers no less!  From Etsy seller Ms. Tips! But then again, I think Ms. Tips has my number when it comes to making me giddy with vintage kiddo goodness!

WHOA!  My Dad brought this back for my brothers when he went to China in 1980! We’d never seen anything like it at the time!  We spent HOURS playing this and used to have a sign up sheet to play it.  Now, I think the Peach’s nightlight has a better computer in it. From Etsy seller, Nostalgia Mama.

Etsy seller FuzzyMama always finds the best stuff. And this wonderful “fishing sweater” is certainly made of the best stuff! And the kitty following the fish. I. Die. Great find!

Um… This is amazing.  I’m not sure what is written on the chest, but I love it! The flowers. The hearts. Oh, this is killing it with cuteness! From Etsy seller, Potato Cake Vintage.

Last week it was Hello, but today it is HI!  And hi to this cute little top! Love it! Enough, Etsy seller, SweetShop Vintage. Enough.

I love cool packaging and putting these puzzles in tubes is kinda genius. And cool looking! From Etsy seller, Blue June’s Retro Deco!

The name of this board game is so wrong.  And the tag line is, “If you are a born loser, you’ll win this game!”  Hmm… But I bet it’s just as much fun as the real thing!  From Etsy seller, Fun Elegance.

Happy Monday!

First off, Happy Halloween everyone! Have you carved your pumpkins and put the finishing touches on your costume? We had so much fun this past weekend. Lots of playing and test driving the Peach’s Halloween costume, a cowgirl, which turned quite a few times into a cowgirl ballerina. It’s been a blast. But a weekend isn’t a weekend without a little vintage fun.

Sooo, on with the shooooooow!

HOO HOO HOO doesn’t love this owly applique jumper?  Thanks, Ms. Tips!

I know we all love Barbie, but what of Ken? There was a time before his disco dancing days and looking like a member of NKOTB.  And he was a man, who enjoyed his own carrying case, thanks much. Not Barbie’s little pink box.  Like this Ken Man Cave carrying case.  Like the Mad Men styling too.  From Etsy seller, That Old Stuff.

Plaid wool bell bottom pants not snazzy enough for you? Well, let’s just add a little clown! Ahhh… Much better! From Etsy seller, PMApe.

I love a good cowboy themed kiddo room. And this amazing vintage cowboy chenille bedspread would be perfect for it. PERFECT!  From Etsy seller, Box of Hollyhocks.

This nautical vintage sweatshirt would look so great with some jeans or cords! Who doesn’t love a good tugboat? What an easy way to add a bit of cuteness to an outfit! From Etsy seller, Dahlia Daffodil.

I personally enjoyed just playing jacks as a kid. But who knew it could also be a boardgame?  I love that cute little kiddo couple on the front! Tee hee! From Etsy seller, Rocket Taco.

FIE! If we’d only known about this book, I’m sure the Peach would have gone as a Fire Cat—what with her love of fireman and kitties! From Etsy seller, Vintage Woods.

Happy Halloween, folks!

I can’t believe it is a week away from Halloween!  It’s so much fun to have a kid for holidays!  This weekend we kitted out the house with spooky spiderwebs, and pumpkin lights. The Peach is busting at the seams proud of our house being all “halloweenie!”  And we of course try to pack as much into the weekend as possible—parties, pumpkins picking and of course folding laundry! But a weekend wouldn’t be a weekend without a bit of fun looking for some goodies for ya’ll—so let me share my finds with you!
