My Vanity Organization




I have recently tracked down the best compartment dividers for a vanity space, I had seen them used by some other gals and I was just in love withthem since I saw them. I have been searching for quite awhile for them and just now found them at Target! I am also showing my adorable Zoe brand brush as well as my new mascara love and the best rose salve for lips/skin which is proving very useful this winter!

Modern Day Vintage Lifestyle Goodies

Hello darlings, this is just something fun I was thinking about last night. We all know that there are touches of the past in everything we see in today's markets, but some items are more encompassing of the past than others. Below are just some fun little extras to add some flare to our every day lives, little touches of past.








Auto Expessions 3D Cherry Air Freshener
(this is ADORABLE, perfect for the rockabilly gal in you)
www.auto-expressions.com









Silk Mums
(We cannot forget to keep
some silk flowers around the house, mums are my all time favorite)
www.save-on-crafts.com








1950s-Inspired Quilt
(This evokes a beautiful guest room quilt from the 40's-50s. Its a quilt, but printed rather than stitched, modern advances of course)

Better Homes & Gardens
(Founded in 1922, still available and amazing to this day!)

dream rides of a vintage gal


A girl has to dream sometimes right? Well I find myself dreaming of what sweet ride I would love to caught cruisin' Route 66 in....and I am pretty sure that a 1952 Cadillac would do the trick for me! Wow!!!

























Alright ladies...a HENRY J...I mean we cannot go wrong with a 1951 shiny blue Henry J!! The unique detailing on this car is unmatched in my book. I cannot imagine how awesome it would feel to drive around in this classic piece of art!

What are your dream rides?!

Christmas Tree Oh Christmas Tree!!!

No Christmas tree would be complete without a Lucy ornament. A collectors ornament from my childhood, I cannot help but include on my tree (not just because of my extreme I Love Lucy obsession.)
Angels are always welcome on my tree as well, especially snow baby angels. I must say Lucy and my snow angel make up my two favorite Christmas ornaments, and I can certainly thank my grandmother for them. Grandmothers always know the best gifts to give. :-)

What are your favorite ornaments?!
