Here's another wonderful example of upcycling. These vintage cameras were no longer functional, but Jayfish turned them into nightlights. Very, very clever.
Pair of Peacocks
So the guest bedroom has languished. We tested 5 shades of green till we were finally satisfied and got the room painted, but we stalled after that on furniture and style. I believe I've found my muse. I ordered this pair of peacock wall hangings to build the rest of the room around. I'm not sure yet if I'll leave them black or paint them a new color. I found them in the Etsy shop of The White Pepper which specializes in Mid-Century Modern and other vintage goods.
Upcycled suitcase pet beds
Love these upcycled suitcase pet beds in the Etsy shop of AtomicAttic. I'm thinking they'd also make fabu ottomans if you don't have pets.
Spinnerette USB Turntable
Isn't this Spinnerette USB Turntable by Crosley a beauty? In addition to looking totally cool and sounding great, the Spinnerette converts your vinyl into digital files. You can also hook up your MP3 player through the USB port. Plays 33 1/2, 45 and 78 RPM records. Choose from two groovy colors: red or teal.
Vintage pillbox hats
A little Etsy love today. I've always liked pillbox hats even though they don't like me. Here are are few faves: [top] vintage feather hat @ zwzzy; [left] 60's pillbox hat @ TapouillonVintage; [right] satin pillbox hat @ TheRitzyRose
Drive-In Movie Theatre Finder
I have fond memories of going to the Drive-In Movies as a kid. The scale of the big screen, the popcorn, the parking of the truck backwards so you could stretch out in lounge chairs in the back to watch the show. Sadly, most of these places have closed, but there are still a few around that light up the nights. Use the Drive-In Theatre Finder at Drive-Ins.com to find the closest Drive-In to you and take a carful of friends or just your squeeze to the movies the old-fashioned way. I've had enough lately of 3-D and overly climate-controlled artificial environments.
Lady Head Vase art prints
Does anyone collect Lady Head Vases? These ceramic vases have been around since the 1940s and were used to hold floral designs. I love the digital collage art prints incorporating Lady Head Vases over at Two Little Fruits Art Studio. I mean look at the way the lighting is so carefully matched to the scene! Wow.
