Over Sized












Recently I have developed rather a soft spot for over sized vintage glasses... especially those in candy like colors. However, I still need to obtain the right amount of moxie to pull them off. Does anyone know where you can purchase moxie in an easy to swallow formula?

Red




I am smitten with the small details in this Yury Darashkevich painting. The warm red against the grey is lovely. The perfect shadows that help her quite expression come across and the few bits of hair that have gone astray. They may only be strokes of paint, but each brings a sense life to the piece.

Love and Friendship





Friendly mice nibbling on a gigantic strawberry...
just one more reason to adore the Little Friends of Printmaking.

Whimsical




This stylish white enamelware bowl was designed by Kaj Franck for Arabia Finland. If you enjoy this style take a peek at one of his fish themed vessels here.

Perfect




I adore this photo of Buster Keaton and his pocket pup.

Visual Feast











This is the stunning photography of Ditte Isager. It is easy to appreciate her use of light which is similar to the classic paintings done by Dutch masters centuries ago. If you want to let your eyes feast on more of her delicious work take a peek here.

Hair Bows



This brings a whole new meaning to the term hair tie.

Details

















There is a reason we have all heard the saying,
"they just don't make things like they used to."

Because, well frankly they don't. Most likely due to the fact that the handwork that went into making vintage clothes like these would be far too expense for today's companies to produce.

If you are willing to do a little hunting and can deal with a moth hole or two, wearing vintage clothing can add more style and exquisite details to your wardrobe than any modern option. This is why I adore shops like Dear Golden. The selection is always fun to browse and are complete with helpful descriptions.
