Friday Find!
July 27, 2012
Today's Friday Find is brought to you by TheVintageResource on Etsy. They stock a wide variety of funky retro and midcentury homewares. From their wide selection, I have picked these retro stacking mugs. I love the colour and the retro flower motif. The fact they can be stacked is a definite plus as I am always running out of storage in my kitchen!

Better late than never!

Wow what a week! Last week was a pretty busy one for me...including a massive photoshoot of all of the Berlin vintage haul, editing over 200 photos of said vintage and then getting underway with all of the listing that needs to be done. On top of that my cat had an abcess on his back (not pretty) which resulted in a little operation and then two days later we had to return to the vet as he had managed to pick up an eye infection at the same time! What's that saying? When it rains it pours? Absolutely! Read on...

I know I am in good company when I say I love Mad Men. I love the fact men were men and women were a thing of beauty - regardless of body size! Maybe I am old fashioned but I don't think so...so this week's Friday Find is a gorgeous Mad Men vintage party dress out of the 1950s from GoGoVintage. I love the summery colour and the stunning bow at the back. Great for cocktail parties or garden parties, this dress will bring a bit of Mad Men fun to your wardrobe!

Life and times of a vintage hunter in Berlin
July 18, 2012
Well what a trip! Four days, lots of vintage and countless treasures found. For those of you following along on Twitter or Facebook you will already know that the weather, unfortunately, decided not play along and infact I would go so far as to say it has been a long time since I saw rain quite like that. However, despite the rain I can declare mission accomplished!
I left my house with my very old and trusty huge suitcase (which was empty aside from some old towels for protecting the goodies Read on...
Friday Find! (on Thursday…)
July 12, 2012
As I am off to Berlin tomorrow to go vintage hunting for all of you vintage lovers out there, I have decided to share with you this week's Friday Find on Thursday! Today's find is from VintageRiverview on Etsy. I read somewhere the other day that children of this generation will never know the feeling of slamming the phone down on someone. While I hope you never have the need to slam the phone down on someone, it is rather satisfying and way more satisfying than pressing hang up or touching Read on...
Berlin here I come!
July 11, 2012
I have holidays this week from my 'normal' life and what better thing to do on your holidays but to travel out of town and go vintage hunting! That's right folks we are spending a whole weekend hunting downvintage. Perfect. And what better place to go searching for great vintage than Berlin? Berlin is a massive city and while I have never lived in Berlin (the closest I got was Hamburg!) I hear great things from those who do. A little bit of web research turns up hundreds of vintage Read on...

"A designer eyewear line that pleases everybody is unlikely to inspire. Good design must be thought-provoking"—Cari Zalloni, creator of Cazal Eyewear: 1937-2012

Cari Zalloni was born in Athens in 1937 and studied design (amongst a list of other things) in Vienna . To West German pottery fans he is best known for his many daring designs for manufacturers Read on...
