A well-mixed drink is a thing of beauty to behold and to consume. I think these vintage cocktail shakers would add a dash of panache to the process.

Mirror, mirror
I keep noticing some gorgeous antique mirrors on Etsy of late. I think this particular one at RevivedVintage is lovely.
It's begining to look a lot like fabulous
Vixen Vintage knows how to do retro Christmas with a modern twist. I've always admired outrageous faux trees with over-the-top color palettes and her version does not disappoint.

Little black dress vintage edition
As the holidays approach I get excited because it's the time of year one can pull out the formal dresses and don a little glamor. I'm always looking for a little black dress because seriously, you can't have too many. I love this vintage 50's dress from the Vintage Studio gives the impression of two-colors with the taffeta skirt reflecting light and the velvet absorbing it. The best part—a pocket! I will buy nearly any dress with a pocket. Why designers don't put them in more clothes is beyond me.
Yet another train case
Recently at the Dallas Flea, I scored a beautiful train case in bright red. While moseying around the Square in downtown McKinney, I ran across another beauty—a Samsonite train case with a sparkly blue tweed-like exterior. It was of course love at first site since this particular shade of blue always calls like a siren to me. (The sirens of greek mythology lore, not the fire-engine kind.)
Alarm Dock
Anyone old enough to remember those flip clocks from the seventies? Areaware has created the Alarm Dock base and App to turn your iPhone into a faux flip clock. Comes in seven groovy colors. You can also just download the App for your phone on iTunes if you don't need the dock.
Vintage tea towels
Tea towels are everywhere lately and I like these vintage designs—or maybe it's that I like lobster and flamenco dancing.
