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...

Wildthing Vintage FEATURE...

I have missed blogging the past couple days...It is getting busy!
I have been trying to craft some of my Christmas gifts and it definitely takes up a lot of my time...not to mention keeping up my shop and I am doing shows at night!
I am not at all complaining here because I love my job and all my side jobs and all my hobbies but there are times when you just wish there were more hours in the day...I'm sure you can all relate!

Today I am going to do a Charming Fave blog post...


WHO:


This gal and I have more than a few things in common...

✶ we are both in the entertainment industry (and happen to be performing in the same show right now AND sharing a dressing room)
✶ we both LOVE the thrill of thrifting
AND
✶ we both LOVE our side business...Our VINTAGE SHOPS!

We help each other out with photoshoots and advice...It's so great having someone to bounce ideas off of, go thrifting with, and OF COURSE share great finds with!!

This rockin' chick has a great avant garde, outrageous and fun sense of style in life (hair can NEVER be big enough)...her shop on Etsy, WILDTHINGVINTAGE, reflects this and is great!


She describes her Etsy shop as:
"Home of grunge, goth, leather, lace, spandex, & all things avant garde! Specializing in the 1980s!"


Check out her SHOP and her NEW BLOG...show some love!


Her she is...WILDTHING!

Vintage Eyes...

So nerdy and cute...

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...

(TIP: if you click on the photo it will take you to the item listing, if you click on the link below the photo it will take you to that shop)



























I hope you enjoyed this collection of wonderful VINTAGE EYEGLASSES and SUNGLASSES!

Another small town girl...


So proud of this gal...it is so inspiring and uplifting to see what people you have known most of your life are creating....having grown up just down the street from each other, Nicole deserves all the success in the world...Her vintage inspired pieces are so beautiful and unique.


OH DINA
"The line features fascinators, headbands and accessories that possess a one of a kind individuality. Through a wide variety of luxe materials such as freshwater pearls, horsehair millinery braid, and vintage Chantilly lace, Oh Dina! pieces are the cherry on top for any occasion."
Oh Dina! millinery and hair accessories are lovingly handcrafted in a wee studio in Toronto, Canada. The pieces are inspired by vintage femininity while fusing modern elements and unusual millinery techniques. Oh Dina! was launched in 2008 while Nova Scotian designer Nicole McInnis was attending the fashion design program at Ryerson University. After studying millinery she fell in love with the art and began to create pieces that paid homage to the 40′s with a quirky twist.  Oh Dina! is now sold at fine boutiques across Canada.
