- vintage playskool -

So cute on Ebay. I love this Playskool pull toy...just the right amount of wear. I especially love the eyes. Sale ends in 3 hours.

I got these quite awhile ago at a thrift store...somewhere. It's been long enough I don't even remember! But I love them. They are beat up in just the right way. They probably used to be part of a mobile or lamp base. I'm not sure what to do with them, but for now they are fun to play with.

Morning Glory Antique Jewelry

Why do I keep doing posts about jewelry? I guess it just is an inspiring category to me. Who knows. But I knew I had to share my discovery of the fantastic online shop of Morning Glory Antiques & Jewelry. Prepare to go nuts. Some of the stuff is pretty $$$. But you could probably find a pretty piece that fits your pocketbook.

Jewell's Picks & Pics: Vintage Fabric Frocks

The Daily Candy Kids New York just featured Soho Kids' Etsy shop this morning. Cute stuff...and note: it's made from vintage fabrics! Take a look at that oh-so-modern-New-York detailing. Each piece is unique. Which makes the prices look less daunting and more...endearing.
