Way-Out Wednesday: Baby Did A Bad, Bad Thing

It's time for Way-Out Wednesday, kids!



Speaking of, you know what's generally not very amusing? Kids. Especially other people's. Also not exceptionally amusing on their own: pipes, string, top hats or heavy eyeliner. However. Put them all together and you know what you get? Comedy gold.

Behold, the creepiest and therefore awesomest Vintage Smoking Boy Chalkware String Holder:

Atomic Tuesday: Back To Basics

Thanks for stopping by this week's Atomic Tuesday!




Maybe it's the grey/icy/frigid/hellishly annoying weather or the winter "blahs", or maybe the new year has me inspired to make some overhauls but I've been transitioning into a more minimalistic thing lately. No longer feeling it necessary to hang onto so many "extras" of things, cluttering up my life mojo (a girl only needs so many clocks/lamps/drapes/glasses/so on and so on) that I've been throwing out (well, not "throwing out", but donating/giving away, etc.) things I'm not in love with anymore. And today's vintage pick sort of reflects what I mean, when it comes to decorating the mid-century modern way. While today's pick isn't anything "drop dead" or over the top in any way, it's one thing the MCM fan must have. Keep it simple, keep it classic~ the timelessly cool Vintage Atomic Starburst Bellevue Clock:

Prints Charming Sunday: Paint Life Grand

I'm baa-aack, after a very long week of snow, more snow, wind, down power lines, power loss and oh yeah, did I mention the friggin' snow?! Because we northeast types had a just a wee bit of it, in case you haven't heard. So I'm glad you've popped in to this here much-missed Prints Charming Sunday, bringing you the finest vintage novelty prints around!



I think we could use a happy little print to peep, don't you? Something to remind us that spring is indeed going to come soon enough, allowing us to put away the flannel and pain in the ass snow boots and break out cool vintage for warm weather, like this Vintage 60's Painter's Palette Print Skirt, available on Etsy from seller Lola Vintage:





Seriously, this print makes me so damn chipper, it's ridiculous. My inner art nerd is kvelling. Did I happen to mention it's a mere 18 bucks?! Because it is. 18 clams, my friends, 18 clamaroonies. If it wasn't too big for me, I'd be all over it like...something that's on something. Sorry. A clever response escapes me at the moment, because of this damn happy.
