Sewing Machine Madness

Did you know that on this day in 1842, John J. Greenough patented the sewing machine???

While recently in Chicago I was staying on the Magnificent Mile so needless to say I walked up and down that street more than once!!  There was one store that I kept walking by and had to stop just look at their storefront every time... that store was Allsaints Spitalfields. The thousands of sewing machines in the storefront are fabulous!! And let's talk about the fashion.....faint....

So here is a mix of pretty amazing old, antique, and retro sewing machines followed by a mixup of Allsaints Spitalfields fashion...

Stocking Stuffers....Vintage Variety

The stocking, was the one thing my siblings and I were always allowed to open before my parents got up on Christmas morning.  Usually my sister and brother would sneak downstairs and pick up all 3 stockings and then they would bounce up on my bed and the three of us would sit and look at all the wonderful treats and treasures inside....there was ALWAYS a big orange in the toe!!

Here are a few special vintage and vintage inspired stocking stuffers I found and thought were cute on Etsy.com...

Vintage Eyes...

So nerdy and cute...
LittleMissShabby on Etsy

I woke up this morning after having some really strange dreams (I think) .... BUT all that kept popping into my mind is this image of a really funky pair of nerdy vintage glasses!

So today I am inspired by that image in my mind and thought I'd share some funky eyewear...
