Shamrocks and Corned Beef!

St Patrick's Day is just around the corner and what better way to celebrate with your family and friends than a traditional meal of Corned Beef and Cabbage!  So grab your apron and let us turn now to our 1958 CookIndex recipe box...

Now that the main course is taken care of it's time to get dolled up!  Grab your kelly green sheath dress, touch up your pearlescent coral lipstick, and add a brooch to top off the look!  Might I suggest this lovely shamrock-inspired brooch which is featured in our shop!?  Click here for details.

And once the wearin' o' the green is over and you are back to your workaday woes you'll wish you could prolong the fun so turn those leftovers into a Corned Beef Casserole!  The husband and the children will sing your praises once they get a taste of this!  I mean, it has cream of asparagus soup in it, for crying out loud.  Kids LOVE asparagus.  Right?

Regular price $10, Today Only $8
Vintage heart-shaped trinket box - a somewhat kitschy little souvenir from Silver Springs, Florida.

Check it out here in my shop!

A Kistchy Cure for Coulrophobics!

OK, I will admit it. I am a Coulrophobic from way back. But even I am not freaked out by these cute little mid-century decorative wall plates. Check 'em out in my etsy shop... they are eagerly awaiting a new home :)

Cheers!

Just Listed: Organic Modernist Set

I just listed this unusual organic, modernist pendant and screwback earrings set. I love the movement in the design! Check it out in my shop and share it with your friends ;)

Not Just For Ashes Anymore

I listed this pretty vintage ashtray yesterday.  I almost didn't want to list it as an "ashtray" because it is too pretty to snuff out your cigarette in!  I just can't resist picking them up; they are a reminder of a bygone era.  For me they usually turn into impromptu candleholders (don't worry, this one doesn't look like it has ever been used for anything!).  Especially when we have a cocktail "do" - I like to fill my aqua mosaic tile cocktail table with all sorts of mismatched ashtrays filled with candles.  That reminds me...it is time for another one of those evenings ;)

How many of collect or buy ashtrays and what do you use them for? 

Cheers,

Shannon
