I just love the fifties and whole mid century modern era. Imagine my surprise when I found the Vince Bravo website who has found all this wonderful Heywood Wakefield (blond and more) modern era furniture! It is a retro diva's dream come true!  Can you say, honey, buy me blonde record cabinet for our anniversary?  Hello, here it is:

$995 and so very worth it, a very coveted piece at vincebravo.com

Truth be told Vince Bravo isn't all about Wakefield there's all kinds of mod pod things for the vintage home. Mid Century Modern is getting hard to find in this type condition because everyone is decorating their homes in a more modern decor.  I was checking out the facebook page for VinceBravo.com and it's nice to keep abreast of new additions.  I browsed the many listings of furniture, pottery, art, accessories, and one of my faves, lighting. Can you say LOVE THIS vintage jeweler's table lamp?

How rare is this? $595 at vincebravo.com, jeweler's table lamp.

How many of those survived? Are you a jewelry artisan? Put that on your want list before it gets nabbed up!  This and more are just waiting to be had at Vince Bravo. Your source for the eclectic and modern finds. 

What are you waiting for?

Original Antiques on Etsy : Antiquities

Original Antique Tabzimt in silver, enamel and coral - Algerian Late 19C, $250

Taking a break from the cottage chic and farmhouse Martha Stewart-y finds on Etsy, I realized the super old and historic lies somewhere within.  Take for instance, Original Antiques on Etsy, who is featuring this gorgeous coral Jewelry from Great Kabylia, Algeria. This "Tabzimt" is an old world brooch, they were very popular in the 18th and 19th century dating back to Celtic times and ancient days.  this from Alergia has a very distinctive style. Intricate patterns are combined with colorful enameled ornaments and coral beads. The bright blue, yellow and green applied in small compartments makes this jewelry appear rich and decorative.  WIht the  sontes and enameling intact, this is a priceless part of history and should be in a museum.

This Sterling Silver Cigarette Case is gorgeous and shows well for it's age. $760

Owner Ramzi Aydi of Amman, Jordan isn't quite sure how old this silver Niello cigarette case is, but based on the primitive etchings and shape of the bird it has to be at least 80+ years old.  It is odd that you find such lovely items preserved so well.

Silver Authentic Antique Kurdish Jambiya Dagger Mid 19C, $950

Perhaps the highlight of this ship is the Silver Jambiya dagger of the Kurdish people. This is an Authentic Piece from East Turkey, early – mid 19C. Look at the double edged curved blade with a central rib, forged from high contrast Wootz (Watered, Damascus) steel. It has an "I" shaped black horn grip with silver wire wrap. Wood scabbard covered with Islamic design engraved Silver. Total length 15 inches.

To see more craftsmanship of ancestors past, visit Original Antiques on Etsy. Very interesting museum quality finds!

All Vintage Auctions and Collectibles

Find out more about vintage Coke Collectibles at the AllVintageAuctions.com website!

I scour the web for all kinds of vintage items, antiques, and collectibles. Recently I stumbled across this Vintage Auctions and Collectibles website which I love! It's a cool blog featuring different vintage items or collectibles for sale--which could be anything you can think of! Just today I found industrial antiques to vintage dinnerware. There are some vintage Hummel figurines and even Michael Jackson vintage items (I was shocked to see that one vintage auction for a stuffed monkey had almost 8000 views. I guess vintage monkeys are a hot item!!!) I really like this collectible belt buckle made from an old Pabst blue ribbon can, super cool!

$19.95 on AllVintageAuctions.com , handmade from a real beer can!

When I was looking up the information on vintage coke items, I noticed that Vintage Auctions and Collectibles also gives a lot of good information. Like this article on Collecting Vintage Barbies.

This site featuring Vintage Auctions and Collectibles site doesn't actually sell anything--all the listings are pulled from third party sites like Ebay, etc which makes it cool to find their fresh picks that you may really enjoy.

Get Vintage with Vibio Curate Your Life

Hello, what's this?  VIBIO: A new way of collecting, curating, selling, trading, and buying vintage? Oh yes it is!   I had to check it out, so I registered for an account on Vibio. (It is FREE!)  Now I will explain exactly what it is. (Move over Pinterest. I'm hooked. )

I registered for a free account on Vibio right though my Facebook. It's free and easy to share your wants and desires. Oh how we all have them.

In a nutshell, Vibio allows you to create and share collections of things you want and have. You can adjust your privacy settings so only you or your contacts can view your stuff, it's up to you. 

Unofficially: I think the easiest way to explain it is unofficially is a Etsy Style Treasury Alternative to Craigslist for Pinterest type people who like to show their wants and haves. FINALLY!  The best of everything!  Now what on earth am I talking about? 

I set up my Vibio Bio, and then went to the demographics tab to put my location (All optional).

It's a place to share your Wants and Haves by uploading pictures of your "stuff".  This can be anything not just antiques and vintage but that's what I'm using it for since Vintage rules.   Why would you want to do this? First off, you can keep tabs on what your friends and family think are hip and cool. A great way to get Aunt Linda something for her birthday.  You can see what trends are developing. Be nosey if you will. But also flaunt your own products. Notice my cool glove molds right here: 

I added my porcelain glove molds for sale (for no fee on Vibio.) Negotiations are between the buyer and I.

Curate: Trade, Sell, Buy on Vibio


This is a free site for curating which makes it a free marketplace for trading, buying, or selling items too. You can make offers on items that you want that other have. In other words, they have it, you want it, so make an offer! 

Buy/Trade/Purchase Local 

You can also shop locally by the demographics which eliminates the cost for ungodly shipping (bye bye big postal service guy who keeps dropping my stuff!)  It's sort of an old school way of selling and trading (locally never got easier, goodbye scary Craigslist people, hello cool Vibio users)!

Buy/Trade/Sell Worldwide

You don't have to just sell local, you can sell anywhere you want. It's up to you. Either way you add your "have" and people will add your "have" to their "want" and therefore these are potential buyers. They can then make offers to you for your wares.

Vibio is a great alternative for going thru these big conglomerates like Ebay anymore. If you decide to do any type of selling, that's between you and the buyer to work out the payment details and Vibio is not really involved.  You can read more about it in their Vibio faq HERE! 

My Want List....

The best part of Vibio is you can store your wants and needs right here on their system and organize them.  As you can see I just must have these clocks someday.....

So in a nutshell Vibio:

• Is Totally Free
• Is Hip and Cool
• Allows you to Search for items (search bar at the top right) 
• Allows You to Keep 'Wants' and 'Haves' (buttons to add items)
• Allows You To Share (to Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest) 
• Allows You to See what your friends have in their Collections 
• Allows You to Admire their style or make offers to purchase

WTH are you waiting for?  Connect with Vibio:

Vintage Photography: Ana Pontes Deck the Walls

Teacups and Roses  8x12  $21 at AnaPontesPhotography

Perhaps you love antiques but don't want them sitting all over your home and collecting dust. Then why not go for vintage photography as a viable alternative?  I just adore the work of Ana Pontes who has just recently put her work up for sale in the AnaPontesPhotography Etsy shop!

Typewriter and Rose 8x12 $21 by AnaPontesPhotography

 I was just talking about how much I love old typewriters the other day, but this photo is amazing. It would look great in a dining room, living room or office.   She also has a wide selection of floral shots, a lot of roses, natural landscapes and still life shots in her portfolio.

Dolls and Bears, 8x12 $21.00 at AnaPontes Photography

Perhaps my favorite is the vintage dolls and bears.  She has managed to capture the beauty of such old, and it's new again. This would look lovely on the wall, and what's better, your antiques won't get dusty or dirty or broken over time. The most maintenance you have is the occasional dusting of a frame.

Vintage Typewriter Romance Industrial Bliss

My typewriter.

Imagine my surprise when I saw an excerpt a few weeks back on Brandy and Kowalski's vintage typewriters and repair shop in Brooklyn, NY,   I caught my excerpt off the Sunday Morning program. They aren't the only one who loves old typewriters. Truth be told I am so glad they are promoting use of these romantic pieces of industrial bliss.   There's nothing like putting in a sheet of paper and hap-hazardly typing a letter to your partner about how much you love them on one of these old hunks of metal.

Truth is, that could be a problem if you don't have any spell correction ribbon, as most of the older models didn't have spell correction and those who did are probably dried up.   I wish I could afford to have this baby laying around my office, this is a gorgeous Pink Royal typewriter priced at $475.00 on Etsy by JoeVintage.  Truth be told that's not a bad price, it comes with original case and owner's manual and pink is VERY HARD TO FIND.    If you think the one below looks just like the one above, think again, this one is just about PERFECTLY MINT and this retails for $575.00 from JoeVintage on Etsy also.  Sigh, I'm in love.......

No matter how you turn her, she's a beauty.

Now typewriter collectors can really get into some strange territory when you consider the many years of typewriters being made, from the ones that are so heavy hunks of metal that you can't pick up to the kids' toy models made of metal and plastic, that you can't keep up with .  Just when I thought I have seen every possible kiddie typewriter up pops this one:

Strange indeed but to a typewriter collector this would be a cool addition to a collection. This kiddie one is very colorful and available for $164.00 on Etsy at Recy shop. What a rare find! I find that most collectors are opting for either adding the toy typewriters to their toy collectors and their typewriter collections so it's double in demand these days.

 

As for regular typewriters, this big boy is from the 1940's and available for $350.00 from PoetryofObjects.  Now some may agree that the 50s to the 70s mod colors and designs, the pinks and blues are sought after as are the bright orange, red and yellow modern colors so why would someone buy this giant hunk of metal? Quite simply put, they are becoming extinct. Next time you try to find one, this is all you will have, OUCH!

Art925 offers this cool ring.

Note: If you like my Brother typewriter  there's one exactly like it for sale on Etsy, for $55 at SugarScout!

Vintage Dresses Indie Fashion YordanCo

YordanCo Ciao Bella Dress! My favorite!

Vintage Jewelry on Etsy : DesignzByRuth

Ruth has reclaimed this porcelain pendant and functioned it into a wearable pendant.

Today I stumbled across the DesignzByRuth Etsy shop. Ruth designs some of her own handmade jewelry which often mixed vintage components in it. Her selection of vintage jewelry in itself is amazing. Her shop is all the way in Israel, but shipping to the rest of the world (right now is FREE).  Her items are inexpensive, and unique. 

This would look great around my neck.

I am always curious to see what relics lie in other countries, buried treasure of yesteryear. Ruth has found a lot of  pendants, estate jewelry, and lovely lockets that you just don't see everyday. Unique treasures are hidden here.

What's this? A triple sided floral pendant, how lovely!

This pendant appears is triple sided so no matter how it turns or twists it ends up on a pretty view. I have not seen anything like this. Very unique.  You can find a one of a kind pendant, necklace, or jewelry that would be perfect for that special occasion, like a wedding!

 Lockets are timeless.

I am big on lockets. I had a locket just like thsi when I was little. Mom and I had our pictures in it. Love them. They are timeless, just like Ruth's shop.

Vintage Clothing at AnnieRose Vintage

$65 someone buy me this, quick!

Annie Rose Vintage has a great style all her own. She finds the chic and hip bohemian style vintage clothing and sometimes adorns it with her own touch.  She says, "Upcycled and Vintage Clothing with a tattered shabby bohemian twist."  Lynn's beautiful eco-friendly vintage finds are often embellished, refashioned and upcycled for you!Check out some of these finds from this seller's Etsy shop!

$115, would look great with khaki colored leggings and boots, stay comfortable but look so dressed up!

Lynn is from Dickinson, Texas and her southern belle style shows in these lovely creations.  I would be privileged to wear one of her items. They are couture all their own and her items sell rather quickly making them a hot commodity. In fact no sooner did I post up a dress on the Etsy Recycler's Guild site last week did it sell out of her store.

$62 and so worth it this tunic top dress.

Lynn pushes the envelope on design. In fact I think if she entered one of those "American's Next Top Designer" shows she could win.  She envisions something for clothing like no other designer. You really need to tell anyone you know who loves vintage clothing or one of a kind pretty dresses, jackets, or blouses.  Not all clothing does she upcycle, some vintage she finds are just lovely on their own!

Ga Ga for her clothing.

Vintage pink sweater, $28

I should also mention that she makes these cute little pouches that are sold in her other shop, Brico Jewelry Designs where she makes goregeous necklaces, pins to embellish your clothing. I just adore these handbag - tote- pouches!  Here is one:

 

$29 at BricoJewelryDesign and so worth it. LOVE IT.

1940s Red Iron Industrial Metal Wooden Handle real plug princess Chicagoland 1946 - $22.00

OH SO CUTE. A great doorstop or something to hold books in place. Not sure if this is a travel iron, or was a toy , but it's a heavy tiny iron. From wood red handle to silver base it's approx 4.5", the iron bottom is approx 5.5" in length. Has original plug which is in good shape. I had it plugged in and it appears to work ; but based on age I would not recommend using it without proper warning......

Such a cute dress! $32 teal polka dot mini!

This is the workings of sylvia Karcz who is always on the hunt for some super fabulous vintage clothing in her Etsy shop! This 1980's teal dress says, fun, frolic, and must have! Now I want to mention that some vintage clothing shops focus on one era or speciality, but not VagabondiaVintage, they have everything from 1980's to 1890's victorian!  That's right, I was in shock to see this:

Victorian Bodice/Blouse $110 super cool!

I've seen Victorian ads but not really seen a lot of Victorian blouses in such ornate and lovely condition. Where does she find these things?  If you are into vintage skirts, vintage shirts, vintage clothing, vintage pants, vintage blouses, vintage dresses, this is the place to go.

Vintage Porcelain Glove Mold Giveaway FREE

Yet another free giveaway! You hear me talking about glove molds all the time, well now I've got one up for grabs. These retail for $32+  and up on sites, and they are super cool. You will either your choice or medium or large (not much difference in them really) . The mediums are on average 14" high and a nice hunk of porcelain. The large is not much difference, though the fingers a a bit wider.  Both sizes were rescued from an old factory overstock.

These type molds were made by (now defunct) General Porcelain of Trenton NJ, and is at least 25 years old.  Glove molds are a great piece of American History and can be used to hold anything such as braclets, necklaces, knitted products, photos invitations, decorations, Christmas ornaments, or just sat around to look cool and industrial. Rings probably won't fit on the fingers but you can get creative on what you want to do with them. WARNING: GLOVE MOLDS ARE ADDICTING.
