Vintage Finds of the Week: Red and Pink Rhinestone Jewelry

As much as I love to sell vintage on Etsy I also love to shop! Every week I feature a theme of vintage finds I have discovered that I wish I could buy, wish was my size, or just may go ahead and treat myself to. Who knows! The point is there are great vintage items to be found! This week I am inspired by Valentine's Day and have found some very pretty red and pink rhinestone jewelry!

Vintage Finds of the Week: Eyeglass Frames

As much as I love to sell vintage on Etsy I also love to shop! Every week I feature a theme of vintage finds I have discovered that I wish I could buy, wish was my size, or just may go ahead and treat myself to. Who knows! The point is there are great vintage items to be found! This week I have found vintage eyeglasses. I am near sighted which is great for my sewing projects but can lead me to miss out on details at the movies, in architecture, and so on. My prescription is mild so I don't wear my glasses very often but it's always fun to look for more styles. Here are some stylish vintage specs:

Vintage Finds of the Week: Beaded Cardigans

I have always loved vintage beaded cardigans from the 50's. I have a few in my personal collection that I wear both casually with jeans or as an insulating layer over a party dress. The bead work often has a wintery holiday sparkly feel to them which makes them even more appealing this time of year. Here are a few I've discovered on Etsy for this week's vintage finds:

Vintage Finds of the Week: Capes

Capes are not only fashionable and chic, they are also very practical when you have a hand in a cast! Unable to fit my arm trough most of my jackets, coats, and sweaters, capes are my fashion statement this winter! Luckily, I own two vintage capes and a cape sweater but I can't help but look for more. Here are a few I found on Etsy:

Vintage Finds of the Week: Tablecloths

A year ago I bought a lovely vintage tablecloth on Etsy. I love it so much and use it on a daily basis. I am constantly afraid to ruin it with some kind of horrible stain so now I am on the hunt for a back-up tablecloth or two! For this week's Etsy vintage finds I am showcasing some tablecloths that I love but don't quite match my kitchen colors. While I continue my search for the perfect one, I hope these will work for you!

Vintage Finds of the Week: Magazine Racks

Besides Vanity Fair, I haven't subscribed to fashion magazines for years. Lately I've decided to return to the printed magazine world. I renewed my VF subscription and tacked on a subscription to Vogue, Elle, and W. While I anxiously await for their arrivals, I know I'm going to need room to store them in my tiny place. For this week's Etsy vintage finds I have found a mid-century solution: magazine racks!
