Aqua Blue Heaven Friday: Iced Key

Welcome to Aqua Blue Heaven Friday! A very steamy, muggy and all-around grody friday. (And yes, I *did* just say "grody" because apparently it's 1985.)





Today's aqua deliciousness is this interesting set of Vintage 60's Keyhole Design Glasses:




Yep, keyholes! Cool, right? Never saw that design before (as far as vintage glassware goes, I mean). I wonder what the inspiration was for these back in the day? All's I know is that they rock pretty hard. But if aqua's not your bag, the seller also has yellow and green ones for sale. Score! (If I wasn't overrun with vintage glassware already, I'd buy them all and do a little mixy-matchy action.) See?:




Perfect for summer lemondade. Or iced tea. Or pink squirrels. Whatever. All glasses currently available on Etsy from seller Molly's Closet.

Way-Out Wednesday: No Country For Old Dolls.

Welcome to Way-Out Wednesday!




Given the ridonkulous heat my fellow northeasterners have to endure, and the flooding of you midwesterners and, like, the fire that's probably going on somewhere in California right now, I thought I'd reward you all with a special Way-Out Wednesday treat. A doll. One "holy hell that is one creepy-ass doll" doll.





Behold:



No, your eyes don't deceive you. That is a girl doll. With an extreme disproportionate face-to-noggin-size ratio. That looks mildly retarded. And somehow old. And bald. Even Prince Charming looks like he'd rather bludgeon himself with a lute than have to kiss The Thing That Fire Wouldn't Kill.


I mean really:



It's terrifying and questionable and wrong and disturbing and because of those things, is totally right in my book.

Vintage 50's Tiny Doll (did I mention it's only 3 inches tall?! Because it is. Why so small? Good God, what purpose does that serve?!) available on Etsy from seller Covetable Curiosities. (I strongly suggest you check out their store- it's chock full of cool, vintage trinkets & teeny plastic bits and interesting whatnots. Like more dolls like this gem. You're welcome.)

Party Like It's 1776!

I know it's been said a million times already today in blogland, but let me be the millionth and one to say Happy 4th of July, America! May you all be as happy as possible with your dysfunctional family & friends, have a belly full of hot dogs & cold beer, and careful not to shoot your eye out with those bottle rockets, black mambas, ballbusters and cherry bombs. Have a great day, all!

Prints Charming Sunday: 3 Cheers For Red, White & Blue!

Welcome to a special holiday edition of Prints Charming Sunday!




Being as though it's the 4th of July here in the US, I figured it only fitting to make today's theme even more, you know, theme-ier. Red, white & blue-ier, even! (And you know, even if you're not in the US of A, there are plenty of other countries that have red, white & blue flags, like my mates in Australia & the UK! Luxembourg
and Norway! And even exciting and exotic destinations like...Cambodia.)

Enjoy the patriotic display-o-frocks and have a fantastic day no matter where you are, kids!
