Vintage Kiddo Retro Round Up!

Brrrrrr!!!  Friends, I don’t know about you, but where we are in the Bay Area, we are shivering in our timbers this weekend. With nightly temps in the HIGH THIRTIES! Eeek! All the more reason to stay inside with a nice mug of hot cocoa and some QT time on Ebay and Etsy to come up with a dandy selection of vintage goodies for you all. And we have some real treats this week from zee old Internet!

Is it wrong of me to squeal with joy when I see a tag that says, “100 percent acrylic”?  Then you know how excited I was to find this adorable U. S. of Yay plaid ruffle shirt from Ebay seller, meldarr.

Check out this darling little fire and ice vintage shirt that takes care of your little one’s love of fireman AND bowling all in one swoop!  From Etsy seller, FreckledHen5.

If the Peach didn’t have the most impossibly wide, stubby widdle feet in the world, I’d go nuts buying her darling vintage shoes like these two tone beauts from Ebay seller, On The Hill Antiques.

Who but the French would have create such a bad-ass version of overalls? How very Girbaud! Oh, for the helicopter cuteness of it all! From Etsy seller, Petit bon homme vintage.

Peter Pan collar + piping = perfection in this little vintage number.  AND under $8.00—that is just too good to not bid on, if you ask me.  From Ebay seller, Indio Earth.

One must channel their inner J.J. from Good Times–because truly, this vintage  sweater is DINOMITE!  Just look at those eyes, for heavens sake–he’s BEGGING to go home with you!  From the Vintage Nursery.

The perfect vintage plaid pants to wear to the miniature golf course for a couple of rounds and a few martinis. From Ebay seller, Messanger78.

I’m such a huge fan of these stripey shirts such as this vintage goodie from Etsy seller, Baby Come Back.

I love a good windowpane plaid and this vintage sky blue flannel shirt is such a total keeper. I think my husband would like it to come in his size… From Etsy seller, Get Lucky Vintage.

Help your little girl embrace her inner Holly Hobby with this sweet vintage dress and pinafore combo. Really. It’s like two dresses in one.  I love. From favorite Ebay seller, Lady Jane Vintage.


Speaking of Holly Hobby, if you get that dress above, you should also get these grand vintage Holly Hobbie dollies.

Now there’s a good kiddo birthday party theme–bring it back old school with Holly Holly and play  videos of Little House on the Prairie in the background. YEAH!

Happy Monday, everyone!

The First Vintage Kiddo Retro Round Up of 2011. Aaawww YEAH!

Happy Snappy New Year, ya’ll! I hope you got your fill of black eye peas, fish, eating grapes, wearing yellow underpants and hopping on one foot yelling rabbit rabbit as soon as you sprung out of bed Saturday morning.

I hope your New Year resolutions including finding amazing deals on vintage kiddo clothing, because friends, I have a super line up of goodies for you all today.

What is not to love in this lemondrop of a vintage dressie. I die. Just the needed peak at summer to get us through this chilly weather. From eBay seller, b370.

Check out this sweet widdle vintage Western shirt that would be perfect for your cute cowboy! From eBay seller,  Nechy10.

This one goes out to my mom who loves Chiclets and who would have loved this sassy belted Chiclet dress.  Personally I wouldn’t have thought of Chiclets as a brand that should be on fabric, but so be it. And the end result is pretty darn cute if I say so myself. From eBay seller, Angelworx60.

OK–now today we really don’t put newborns in shoes, so perhaps these would be best suited for the bookcase or wall as a sweet thing to look at, but seriously, these vintage Left/Right shoes are pretty darn sweet to gaze upon. From eBay seller, HerbalSpice.

It is still sweater weather in 95 percent of this country, so I think this dapper little Sigallo ski sweater would be appreciated anywhere.  From Etsy seller, Nini’s Vintage Shop.

Whoa–check out these new with tags little vintage aprons for toddlers.  Some very lucky person came across a sweet load of these, so it’s worth checking out the full treasure from eBay seller, Sewing Machine Girl’s Salon. And the price is quite nice. Especially if you are in Australia…

OK–one more sweater but this one has choo choos on it and is such a sweet sunny yellow too.  So sweet. From Etsy seller 3 Ring Circus.

Oh, how could I not share this vintage gem–from the 80s Jordache no less.   As sassy as the model. From Etsy seller, Haley Britt.

For some 2011 might involve having “the talk”.  And if I had to have “the talk” this year, I’d buy this darlingly illustrated book called Wonderfully Made, because all kids are. And we are so lucky to have them in our lives, aren’t we? From Etsy seller, Frecklewonder.

Happy first Monday of the year!

Vintage Kiddo Retro Round-up!

Welcome back everyone from your weekend of fun. Well I hope it waqs fun! I don’t know about you, but spent this weekend making room for all of the merry decorating I have planned.  And of course cuddling with zee Peach.  Why aren’t weekend twice as long so I can get everything I want done?

But I did manage to make a few rounds of e-thrifting and have a bang up round up for you all today!

I always want to make the most of this cozy jolly time of the year and incorporate fun holiday-themed things for the Peach to do. With that in mind, just think what goodies lie ahead in this gem of a magazine!

I love the little Dutch boy kicking it up in the front!  From Etsy seller,  Old Papers and Pages.

I know we are quite a way from the summer days of nautical theme clothing, but I had to share this great vintage baby navy sailor top.  So cute! From eBay seller, Petite-Vintage.

Oh heavens, red velvet lace dress. Is it wrong of me to buy this for the Peach and save it for next year? From eBay seller, Ave Vintage.

I found the holy grail of vintage kiddo clothing.  Wonder Woman underoos.  IN THE ORIGINAL WRAPPER.  All bow down to the awesomeness of eBay seller  Fritzfurrare.

I wonder if this veggie sweater would help little ones be more fond of veggies? Turnips are a total fashion do, if you ask me!  From eBay seller, TreasuresofTime419.

Who doesn’t love Smurfs? And who wouldn’t love these vintage smurf rain boots from eBay seller, Mejamison?  I love that they have a space for the owner names.

There’s a new baby sheriff in town!  Thanks to 3 Ring Circus!

There is a reason I always seem to showcase something from Lishyloo’s Etsy shop, but when she has such gems as THIS–a rocking horse HealtTex shirt, well what can I say…

Oh I loved playing jacks.  If the Peach could only fit into this 12 month little jumping jacks  jumper, I’d buy it in a heartbeat!  Thanks for the find, Frecklewonder!

I love a good shoe and I fear the Peach is following in my footsteps and sadly also my wide foot. So these red and black charmers are not an option for her, but perhaps for some lucky narrow footed kiddo! Nice find from Etsy seller,  Sassy Sister Vintage.

Oh, this dress.  This dress is a keeper.  So sweet and the leaves can’t help but make you smile.  From Etsy seller, Flour Clothing.

Well, that’s it! I hope you had a grand weekend and got a lot of your holiday shopping done!  I haven’t. Eep!
