Two new beauties


I must say I'm in love with these latest cuffs! I waited so long to cut into this vintage fabric, but I'm glad I finally did it. These two cuffs are made with vintage materials from top to bottom. In the shop today.

P.S. From now through Friday, put the words "Feel better, Julia!" in the message to seller upon checkout and I'll refund you 10% (not including shipping) through paypal. This goes for anything in the shop. :)

I'm home from work with a sick girl today...

So we are relaxing together with some tea in pretty, thrifted mugs...

and happily sorting through all of this vintage loveliness that I just got in the mail:

Here's hoping she's better tomorrow. Have a great day, all!

Fun "fact" of the week

"Summoned to attend an elderly lady in decline, I occasionally heard a shout in the back yard, sounding as if made by one intoxicated and, at length, saw an apparently drunken female, throwing up her hands, jumping up and shouting. I asked my patient what all this meant and she replied, 'she is my eldest daughter, and has always been thus, obviously because her father begot her when intoxicated, though a teetotaler* at all other times.'

A teetotal father, intoxicated while exhilarated, begets a besotted-appearing daughter who all her life will keep doing just what he did for an hour before she received being."

-Creative and Sexual Science (1876)

*A teetotaler is a person who completely abstains from alcoholic beverages.

I made a video for all of you...

...but it's possible I'll end up taking it down. So here is my Sunday post, in video form- watch it before I decide it's stupid and take it down!

Flower child




Because it's 70 degrees and sunny in Illinois today. And I never have anywhere to wear this vintage dress.

Oh, how I want this set

Lovely vintage cream and sugar set from IndividJuli. But I'm trying to save up and not buy things I really don't need- HOWEVER, I'm pretty sure I need this set. Right?
