Some vintage vittles for ya!

Well, I’m back for a few weeks in SF after a most wonderful time in Salt Lake City working with the kind folks of Overstock.com and having too much fun with couple of wonderful blogging friends that are making me ache for SLC. Although it was heartbreaking to be so close to Evo Conference and not attend, but next year, I’ll work something out. This weekend for me was full of girl time with my special little lady. But in between soccer lessons and first pedicures, I did find some dandy vintage pieces to share with you all!  Enjoy!

This coat, oh– it DOES things to me!  The ric rac, the tulip, the Peter Pan collar and double row of  pearl buttons.  Killing it! From Etsy seller, Arlene Lane Vintage.

Have you ever seen such as sassy little bunny–pulling a carrot out of a top hat!  So cheeky!  From Etsy seller, Mother Midnight.

How could I not include this wonderful past weekly Kiddo looking SO CUTE in this wonderful whale dressie.  Who doesn’t love a whale wearing a beret? From Etsy seller, Vintage Goodness.

There is something so charming about boys in old fashion pajamas, like these.  It makes them look like little Mad Men. Tee hee! From Etsy seller, 3 Ring Circus!

I adore this sweet pink gingham  shirt dress in a big girl size 7/8 which is a rarity.  I’d love this to be in my size! (Add that to the mile long list). From Etsy seller, FuzzyMama.

Miss Lishyloo has some terrific goodies, but out of all of them, I kinda am going gaga over these great vintage kiddo books.  I know the Peach would adore them! Hmmm… Might have to buy them myself since they are only $10 for the set!

Here’s another bigger girl size–12! What a great little scooter dress in orange and green plaid.  How great would this be with black turtleneck and tights. So good! From Etsy seller, Toadstool Vintage.

Etsy seller, Toys of the Past can always be counted on to have great sets of Fisher Price toys and this house is at a very decent price. The Peach LOVES hers!

What a great little jacket to wear for the upcoming Olympics!  Go U. S. of Yay! From Etsy seller, Jungle Dream Pagoda.

This dress is rather different, but the embroidery is simply divine. I could see this turning into a little girlie’s favorite dress. From Etsy seller, Storybook Retro.

Happy Monday!

Vintage Cuties: Twelve Dollars or Under

Well, I’m back in SLC for work and looking forward to seeing some friends like Alison from Petit Elefant and Jet Set Carina.  But this weekend, I have been oh so busy snuggling with the Peach before I head out on the road again. I love going to SLC for many reasons–just the sweet thrift shopping alone makes it awesome. And everything was so darn cheap compared to SF, that it inspired me to feature the Vintage Kiddo Retro Round Up that were all under TWELVE DOLLARS! Whoohoo!

And on with the show!

I always get a bit weak in the knees for gingham. And this little charmer in the top is a great example. And only NINE DOLLARS! From Etsy seller, Wee Little Ones Vintage.

This sweater is so adorable it should be featured on Cute Overload. I mean, really. Have you see the kitty paws? It’s almost too much. And only TEN BUCKS! From Etsy seller, Bondplace Vintage.

Um… Who wouldn’t want to put these great red overalls on their own super dude? And for a mere TEN SMACKEROOS! From Etsy seller, Potato Cake Vintage.

A-tappa tappa tappa!  This record should be on wall in your kiddo’s room. It is awesome! And a penny under TEN SMACKEROOS! From Etsy seller, Audrey Blissful.

This sweater is in a word, perfection.  It kills me that it is a tinge to small for the Peach. Sob! But my loss–your gain! From Etsy seller,  Olive Vintage. And a mere TWELVE CLAMS.

A little jogging teddy bear? Yes, please! And a mere NINE FITTY! Hot dog! From Etsy seller, Little Reader Vintage.

Uh, this plaid shirt?  Someone better buy it today. And just under TEN GREENBACKS! From Etsy seller, UDA Kids.

But what of a bit of plaid for girls? How about this pink frolic? Yes, that will do and only for NINE BUCKEROOS. From Etsy seller, County Line General Jr.

These little felt little plush animals are perfect for summer travels.  Easy to put in a pocket and just TEN SPOT. From Etsy seller, Sweet Shop Vintage.

Here is one of my favorite books as a child. Etiquette and Raggedy Anne! Sweet! And a mere FIVE and a HALF DUCKETS! From Etsy seller, Peppermint & Cocoa.

Happy Monday, friends!

Vintage summer treats (and one perfect one for Fall…)

Ahhh!!! It is so good to be home! After being away for two looong weeks on top of my little five day jaunt to Paris, I have truly missed my little family.  Saturday I spent the day with my little Peach having a blast of “girl time” which included soccer, ice cream and some fun at the beach.  But as she was sleeping off her fun day, I spent some time getting some goodies for you!

To me, this is one of those perfect little summer dresses. If only it was the Peach’s size! From Etsy seller, Breedbaby NYC.

We all love Fisher Price and the company’s great toys, but I’ve never seen the PURSE before.  And in this great sockitome yellow! Genius! From Etsy seller, Linda’s Time Compass.

With this heatwave frying a good chunk of the U.S. a little fun Health Tex tank top would be a welcome addition to any kiddo’s wardrobe! From Etsy seller, HennyPenny Kids.

These pinkie pie sweet overalls with flowers on the knees is killing me. A wonderful addition to any little girl’s wardrobe! From Etsy seller, From Little Reader Vintage.

Wouldn’t this amazing vintage handmade pony be great in a little baby’s nursery and watch the baby love it for years to come! From Etsy seller, Ets Place.

Leisure suits for toddlers? OK!  And with guns on them, which I know is a little nutty, but for me it just reminds me of the main boy in Moonrise Kingdom… From Etsy seller, Storybook Retro.

I can’t believe that this wonderful peppy plaid dress is on sale for under $15? So amazing! Terrific for autumn coming up. From Etsy seller, Salvage House.

Can I please have this amazing top to in my size! Seriously! I’m in love with this dandy sailboat pattern From Etsy seller, Ms. Tips!

I would have give away my LeSportSac for these gorgeous turquoise clogs when I was a kid! From Etsy seller, Red Truck Designs.

We started with summer dresses and we’ll end with another one.  And it is another bright peppy item for the “I wish this was in my size” pile. Love! From Etsy seller, Oliver’s Forest.

Happy snappy Monday, friends!

 

 

Vintage Vittles for Ya, Today!

I went straight from Paris to Salt Lake City and woke up on the first day of my new consulting gig with the worst cold ever! I call it the Parisian Plague. I sniffled away my week leaving a trail of tissues wherever I went. And as soon as I got back to my hotel room, I would just climb into bed, passing out and sleeping for 10 hours. Oof.  But I did get back home for almost 48 hours at home snuggling with the Peach and hugging my husby too. But a weekend wouldn’t be a weekend without a bit of time online searching for some sweet sweet vintage thangs to share with you.

WHOA!  I love everything about this little two piece number. From the polkadot roof to the little peter pan collar. From Etsy seller, Little Reader Vintage.

Here’s another amazing two piecer. With elephants on it. Elephants names Welly. Seriously. And that yellow turtleneck? Perfection! From Etsy seller, Fuzzymama.

I know it might be crazy to list these now in the heat of summer, but these little vintage ice skates are just so wonderful. I would just want to hang them on the wall–I love them so much!  The box alone is worth it, alone! From Etsy seller, Lishyloo!

Hoo boy!  Hot pink shirt with navy vest, bowtie and pants. Sorta kinda totally AWESOME! From Etsy seller, Bondplace Vintage.

I love Golden books.  They are classics that should be in every child’s bookcase–especially these three classics. And at quite a nice little price too!  From Etsy seller, A Pear’s Vintage Goodies.

I have such a thing for adorable little vintage shoes.  I just want to hold them and put them on a little shelf somewhere even.  And I just adore these little red riding hood beauties. From Etsy seller, Audrey Blissful.

I just had to share this picture with you all. Would you check out that smile? And the lemony dress is pretty wonderful too! From Etsy seller, La di Dottie.

Wha? Genius. From Etsy seller, UDA Kids.

I need ESP to know who Kreskins is, but I totally dig his look (could we talk about those glasses, alone?) and want to play this game. From Etsy seller, Quirky Shop.

Speaking of great glasses—how sweet are these?  I wish I’d been able to get vintage eyeglasses when I was a kid. Sigh! From Etsy seller, Coral Vintage.

Happy Monday!

Vintage cuteness to start your day!

So, I’m back from Paris and about to start a two week business trip to SLC for my new client. As you can imagine, I kinda got a lot on my plate.  But before I go, I MUST share with you a couple of goodies I found on Etsy.

I wish I had such a cute daisy suitcase to bring home all of my goodies from Paris.  And I just needed to share this with you all. I know it is not necessarily kiddo, but I could see it in a child’s room. Or my own… Just sayin’… From Etsy seller, Founded Shop.

These darling baby toys are so sweet.  I love the little phone rattles. So darling! From Etsy seller, Sweet Shop Vintage.

I cannot get enough of these darling plaid pants for boys or girls! Like these yellow and blue plaiders. So great! From Etsy seller, Storybook Retro.

I’m in love with this darling daisy dressie.  And that peter pan collar is killing me. From Etsy seller, Bondplace Vintage.

Clearly I’m in a daisy kind of mood, because I couldn’t say no to this sweet little velvet daisy number.  And half the petals have been plucked. Lovely!  From Stop the Clock Vintage.


“U.S. Male?” Are you kidding me?  This might be my favorite applique ever. EVER!  From Etsy seller, 77Street.

I’m not a fan of clowns, but this little sweetness, yeah.  I like this wonderful little peg rack. Also, who doesn’t need more places to hang stuff, right? From Etsy seller, Flossy Bobbsey.

Um, I’m in love with this sweetie plum little sun suit. Chiffon and the heart and the ruffle and oh! Just so darn cute! From Etsy seller, Baby Tweed.

I can’t even believe the cuteness that is this sweet little vintage boy’s sweater.  I love the bit of yellow in the nautical aspect. From Etsy seller, Peppermint and Cocoa.

Hell to the YES. From Etsy seller, Deb’s Country Vintage.

Happy Monday, friends!

PS: And expect a couple of posts on Paris later this week!
