I know most of you aren’t thinking about buying for yourself right now, but…..if perhaps if you happen upon some extra cash for Christmas maybe you can indulge yourself in one of these incredible mid century finds. That is if I don’t get to them first!

These gorgeous pottery lamps are $125.

I just love this teak wall cabinet. It would be perfect in any room for some extra storage. $37

These paintings are one of my favorite recent etsy finds, though a bit out of my price range. Perfect for any mid century home. $175

I would gladly replace my flat screen TV for this stylish set. $515

As promised here are a few more of my recent shopping spree purchases.

I bought this amazing hat on etsy from Helen’s Hassack. It has quickly become a favorite in my hat collection, it is just so easy to throw on to disguise a bad hair day. Every girl needs a hat like this!

I bought these along with two more pairs of vintage gloves at an estate sale. I am so happy to have found a bunch of gloves for the Fall and Winter. I have such long fingers it is hard to find vintage gloves that fit properly. Oh, and how amazing is that clutch?!

These are the two newest colors of nail polish I bought. I am currently wearing the pink shade which is called “Wild Mink”. I love it, it is like a slightly toned down Barbie pink.

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a good weekend. Russ and I had a wonderful time. On Saturday we went to several garage and estate sales. I picked up three pairs of vintage gloves and an amazing leopard print clutch. Sunday we went out to his parent’s house for a BBQ and to celebrate his dad’s birthday.

Another major thing that happened over the weekend, at least in my opinion, is I bought the first Christmas gift of the year! I am not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing. In the past I have found that if I buy gifts too early I give them out too early. Maybe this will be the year that I grow up and wait until Christmas to hand out the gifts!

I am trying to do all my holiday gift giving second hand, so naturally the gift I bought was from etsy. Here are some other items I have my eye on these days:

This sailor style dress is pure perfection. I love the cut, color, everything! It is $115.

How great are these cat eye glasses? They are quite the steal at only $16.

This compact is absolutely gorgeous. Filling your vintage compact with powder is super easy too. $20.

Just one word to describe this dachshund brooch. Amazing. $21.

This pillbox hat is so darling. The periwinkle color would go so well with so many different outfits. $25.

I do apologize for the slowing number of posts. I have to admit though, this past week has been one of the craziest I have had in a long, long time.

Over the holiday weekend I had two friends in from Texas who I hadn’t seen in 5 years. At the same time my second cousin, who I love dearly and haven’t seen in six years, came into town unexpectedly. As if that weren’t enough, my brother and sister-in-law left California to move to Florida. I think I consumed more food and alcohol in this past weekend alone, than I have had all year!! Needless to say, I am finally feeling recovered and caught up on my sleep.

Today I met with one of my best girlfriends who moved to Dublin years ago, met an amazing Italian boy and married him this past summer in Italy. Now they are out here in California and having me cater their vegan wedding. We finalized their dinner menu, and had a nice lunch together. With my years of entertaining I feel somewhat relaxed about cooking for 55 people. I made a master list today of everything we need, and tomorrow am going to write out the cooking schedule for next week. This is a new venture for me, and I can’t wait!

Well, I have had hardly any time to think about blogging, but somehow I managed to find time to browse etsy. Weird huh? Here are a few of my current vintage obsessions:

This shirt is the most perfect naughty secretary shirt. It is $23 from mimisgamine.

How amazing are these shoes? Wouldn’t the look absolutely amazing under a little wiggle dress, wandering the halls at Sterling-Cooper? These cuties are $54 from Dear Golden Vintage.

I have a phone obsession, especially the rotary phones. This one looks like it is straight from a Hitchcock film. It is $38 from lisabretrostyle2.

This dress set is so stunningly beautiful. The cut is perfect, the print is perfect, it is just perfect!! It is $96 from snappyfishvintage.
