Pop Art Girl Painting on Pinkish Blue

A lot of people want the retro mod pop art look . Target or Ikea encourages use of funky pop art furnishings and a few vintage items from Etsy and life was never easier. The big problem people encounter is their wall decor. Obtaining the complete "look" was never easier thanks to Pinkish Blue. One giant painting and your room has been transformed into something mod and funky. I live in their pop art paintings section of their website.

PinkishBlue sells 100% hand-painted oil paintings online. They ship worldwide. Often they will run a special, such as just recently, an  oil painting sale so it's a great idea to keep up to date on their website.  Pop Art is nto all they have. They also have botanical, people, religious -- you name it, they have it to fit almost any decor.

Retro Babs on Etsy: Vintage and Remix Fantastic Finds

vintage dish towels
Renuxed Dish Towels!

Retro Babs is a great Etsy shop full of vintage housewares and upcycled finds. This shop is a Mother-Daughter duo known as Barb and Bec.  They stock their shop full of "a little vintage this" and "a bit of handmade that."  I love the vintage decor and practicality housed here.   Bec enjoys "remixing" things such as making ooak towels -- a lovely set of 3 can be had here for just $10.  Bec often embellishes things with her own personal touches, making them more lovely than they originally were.

Vintage Upcycled Clock 

My absolute favorite has to be the clocks.  Ahhhhhh, the clocks. If I was only that DIY worthy, I would be poking holes in China and making them myself.  These are a great way to re-use vintage plates, and not to mention would be a great gift idea if you know someone who collects this particular line! There are usually several different versions in her shop.

Vintage Marilyn Monroe gloves
Vintage Gloves look Marilyn Monroe worthy.

Although I'm reportedly a kitchenista (RetroBabs stocks plenty of cool kitschy items), I find it interesting to see her mix of lovelies. Here you will find gifts for him, for her, memories for both, and wedding items.   These great gloves are only $12, a real steal for the vintage clothing lover, and would be perfect for the bride to be vintage-wedding-style.

Poloroid Highlander 1957 Camera

Let's not forget the cameras, RetroBabs has some keen eyes for the hottest in vintage camera finds! I just love this 1957 Poloroid Highlander, with original case, booklets, and everything for $30.  Perhaps the photographer in you can get this working, or use it for a cool icon in your retro home.

She is a proud member of the Vintage Etsy Society Street Team, Trade-a-holics, and Etsy Recyclers Guild Team on Etsy!
