Whoa the days are just ticking down to Christmas right now! Yikes!  We were plenty busy this past weekend with the last of the holiday parties, the last bits of shopping and the last bits of packing before we head off to Colorado for a very snowy Christmas.

But before I leave on that jet plane, I wanted to share my last vintage goodies I found with you.  Oh so sweet! Enjoy!

We all love the Irmi lamp, but I’ve never seen THIS before. Genius! From Etsy seller, Seams Original.

Oh, this striped coat is perfect AND in one of those elusive bigger sizes. Perfect to add to your tween’s wardrobe full of American Eagle. Hee! From the marvelous Ms. Tips!

I’m dying over this sweet 70s western shirt.  So simple and doesn’t yell cowboy!  From Etsy seller, 3 Ring Circus.

I think this divided baby dish is the perfect baby shower present. So sweet and so usable! I remember Amanda Soule of SouleMama talking about buying a vintage one for each of her children. What a great tradition. From Etsy seller, Kid Wonder!

Whoa. I wish these shoes came in MY size! From Etsy seller, Lilybelle Shoes.

The cuteness level of this helicopter overalls outfit might be almost be too much for me. You’ve done it again, Sweet Shop Vintage.

That plaid dress is pure Sally Draper.  But the little girlie is way cuter!  WANT!  From Etsy seller, Potato Cake Vintge.

No bones about it, this sweater is AWESOME! From Etsy seller, Star Friends on Earth.

Green and orange duckie romper? Don’t mind if I do! From Etsy seller, Lishyloo!

Interesting book, but it doesn’t include PR professional in it. Nutty!  … From Etsy seller, 1 Sweet Dream Vintage.

Happy Monday!

Few things have delighted me as much as seeing the success of the new Muppet movie!

I cannot deny or confirm that I chose my college alma mater based on it being featured in Muppets Take Manhattan, but I can tell you that my love of the Muppets is strong.  I even wrote a post about them last year. Don’t even get me started on the show hosts because we’ll be here all day.

But what makes them even more awesome is that you can share the old school vintage Muppet goodies easily with your kiddo or add them to your own Muppet shrine that you might have made in your back closet. (I’m just sayin’…)

I’m sure milk tastes even better in this muppet glass. From Etsy seller, Bring the Funk.

A nice beginning puzzle for the neophyte Muppet fan. Of course Kermit’s in the sidecar… From Etsy seller, From Lost to Found.

Want to be the coolest kid in the cafeteria? You can be with this lunchbox! Pigs In Space was the best! I know you are saying it in your head right now. PIGS… IN… SPAAAAACE!!! From Etsy seller, Kevin’s Kollectibles.

I so need to write a post on latch hook rugs. But until then I will just marvel at the genius of this Fozzy the Bear latch hook rug.  Look at the extra long yarn for the ears. Well played, Caron. Well played… From Etsy seller, Magpie Apothocary–who may or may not have a Kermit Latch hook still available.

Oh, Miss Piggy!  The gal who said, “Never eat more than you can lift.”  Rocking the Jane Fonda look here in this brilliant magic pen painting book.  Oh yes, there certainly is magic here. From Etsy seller, Jolly Jawa.

The Muppets Musicians of Bremen? OK! From Etsy seller, Staircase to the Attic!

Oh Gonzo, you… well, I don’t know what exactly you are, but you sure are cute! Especially as Gonzo the Great.  And this rare stuffed version is too cute for words! From Etsy seller, Scott McKinley.

“Kermit had good rythym,” said Etsy seller, Polly Go Lightly.  And who wouldn’t with this great Kermit tambourine?

If there was ever a toy that needs to come back, it is Colorforms. And this Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy Dream Date Color Form set needs to be bought RIGHT NOW. From Etsy seller, Hippie Jo.

You know this was on Nancy Kerrigan’s wall when she was a little girl.  From Etsy seller, Krafts Keep Me Sane.

I will end my Muppet Monday with this wonderful sweet gem from Etsy seller, Funky Art Diva— a keychain that summarizes all of the awesomeness that was Kermit.

Happy Monday, folks!

People, I love this little girl.  Daisy is my kind of girl.  Heart as big as her home state of Texas (although she’s really from Louisiana, as she’ll sweetly tell you!) This week’s little miss is five years old and her style comes from a mix of vintage, thrifted, Target peppered with Grandma-made goodies! GO GRANDMA!

When her mama, Elizabeth from Sugar Petite Vintage sent me these pictures I just feel in love with this sweet, kindhearted little girl whose imagination veers over to tea parties and Little House on the Prairie.

Just look at this little love sharing her yellow flowers with us!

Her mama says about her oldest girl:

Daisy is one of the kindest people I know. She has a gentle spirit and is a very sensitive little girl. She finds magic in everything she does. She’ll often be found setting up elaborate tea parties for her dollies  or  staging estate sales in her bedroom. She loves old things and the stories behind them. She likes to drink blueberry tea out of her great-grandmother’s china tea cups.

Her mama also lists some of Miss Daisy’s favorite things include:

puzzles, sewing, rock collecting, painting, baking, ballet, fairies, unicorns, Little House on the Prairie, The Sound of Music, Rainbow Brite, Peter Pan (the musical), Heidi, The Secret Garden, Betsy Tacy books (Squee! I loved Betsy Tacy books–hmmm… potential book club?) , and the “B” is for Betsy series.

Oh, and writing letters to SHIRLEY TEMPLE!

As you can imagine, Daisy does dabble in the pretend play with special costumes, natch!

And of course Miss Daisy is a terrific older sister!  Sweet and understanding and I bet she wouldn’t make her sister drink Tabasco flavored milk… like someone I know… Aren’t they a sweet pair in their red white and blue vintage goodness?

And would you look at those matching silver water sandals to boot?  Nice, touch, Elizabeth! I’m so stealing this idea. It’s the perfect sisters ensemble. Not too matchy but perfect.

We love ya, Daisy! You are as sweet and charming as the flower you are named after!

It’s official, folks–let the holiday season BEGIN! But before we look into the bevy of amazing goodies and festivities we all love around this season, let’s focus on vintage kiddo fashion. And for the holidays there is only one word for it–VELVET.

I gathered the best of my Christmas cheer to pull together some dandy velvet goods for you all!

You could do a very Heidi Holidays with this sweet little flower embroidered dress. From Etsy seller, Odelette.

Check out this deep lacy V of cuteness in green velvet. Might be my favorite. From Etsy seller, 3 Ring Circus.

Vintage velvet leiderhosen? Don’t mind if I do! From Etsy seller, Anthropolotique.

I love this hot pink velvet dress from the 60s with just a touch of lace! From Etsy seller, Kasi Found This.

Blue velvet AND a Peter Pan collar?  The little girl wearing this is so going to score big from Santa for looking that cute! From Etsy seller, Vintch.

I love velvet short pants for the holidays .  I know, it’s a little Lord Fauntleroy but I just can’t say no to that. From Etsy seller, Baby Tweeds.

Check out the perfection that is THIS COAT.  In my old college colors too–rose and pewter.  All it needs is matching hat. From Etsy seller, sparvintheieletree.

Who says purple can’t be a great choice for the holidays? With purple cherries no less! From Etsy seller,  Little Reader Vintage.

Look, I’m only human. I HAD to include this little red velvet set in the round up? Right?  From Etsy seller,

There is something so dear about the velvet jonjon for a kiddo. And the little snowman who looks like he’s going to smack some sense into those fiesty snowflakes? Almost too cute for words. From Etsy seller, Twitch Tots. (BTW, this seller has a slew of great vintage holiday togs that are quite well priced, so I recommend a little stroll to her shop…)

I must really love you guys to share this darling little green velvet friend with pretty little white flowers on it.  And on sale too! From Etsy seller, Ms. Tips.

Wow! That weekend just FLEW by, didn’t it?  But as usual, I tried to cram as much in as possible including putting an hour and a half up in our attic sorting the Peach’s clothes and put away EIGHT boxes of kiddo stuff and Halloween decor, which was very empowering to say the least.  And then Sunday I caught the tail end of what looked to be a grand estate sale. You know the ones where the person lived in that house for sixty years and didn’t get rid of anything? Yeah–that kinda house. I did score a few things that I highlighted on Instagram (I’m under MissDottie) should you want to see the pix.

That estate sale whet my appetite for some more vintage clothing shopping online and hooboy, did I find some goodies to share with you all today.

Where’s the app that turns amazing vintage kiddo clothing into adult sizes? Because I want to download it RIGHT NOW for this little vintage double breasted jacket. From Etsy seller, Wee Little Ones Vintage.

Vintage Viewmaster. Yup.  It still rocks.  From Etsy seller, Grey Squirrel Antiques.

I am THIS close to buying these little overalls just for that traveling hobo bunny in the corner. Who comes up with this stuff? From Etsy seller, Bluebird Lucy.

Oh, this dress. I would have killed for this dress as a little girl. This is the dress you just buy and make reservations to go to tea with a special little girl.  Because this dress needs to be seen by as many people as possible.  From Etsy seller, Hart and Sew.

This jacket DOES things to me!  A little goat? C’mon, that’s too cute for words! nd–oh good gravy–is that a little yellow tin can for him to nom on?  From Etsy seller, Potato Cake Vintage.

Whoa.  OK–I know I’m posting a lot of dresses, but seriously–how could I NOT share this vintage gingham dress with you kind folks?  Sigh!  From Etsy seller, Salvage House. And that little wrist that looks like she has a tight rubber band is just too adorable for words.

I love the beautiful images on the vintage game pieces of this  compliment game.  Match items that belong together. So pretty! From Etsy seller, La Chiffonniere.

These vintage  Stride Rite shoes in navy are a steal at $15! Include the polka dotty shoelaces to boot! From Etsy seller, 4 Birds Vintage.

Ack! This book is so cute! I love the three color images. And how cute and tiny is that little rooster? From Etsy seller, KidWonder!

Before there was “To Infinity and Beyond!” there was a little space explorer thanks to HealthTex. Oh yeah. From Etsy seller, FuzzyMama.

Decorating doll houses is a popular trend right now thanks to that I am a Giant initiative of Emily Henderson, the cutest, sassiet designer in the universe. So, I hope someone snatches up this insane collection of furniture. Those matching wingback chairs are killing it style-wise. From Etsy seller, Sweet Shop Vintage.

Happy Monday!
