i heart vintage drinkware



1930s Henckels travel cocktail shaker set via vintageseekers.com









Vintage glasses, decanters, and the like just seem so charming. There is something sweetly glamorous about sipping champagne from a lovely etched saucer, or enjoying your morning glass of orange juice from a pretty floral tumbler. I've always collected such glasses, and I plan to start up a new collection, when I return to Australia. Some of my old favorites are now in my mom's cupboards, and I can use them while visiting, which is a comfort. I'm sure I'll find new pretties in Oz, to bring a little sparkle to daily life.

happy pink day!


In the little town in Ohio, where I'm staying, it is a rainy dreary day. A day for pink, to raise the spirits. And a day for chocolate chip cookies... yes, sounds good to me!

: bliss : simple sweet wedding dresses














Maybe you're a bride-to-be who doesn't want a big fancy wedding gown, or maybe you're going to elope, and you just want to wear a sweet simple dress. Something pretty and romantic, not fussy. How about a vintage ivory lace cocktail dress? Or a gauzy cotton sundress? Perhaps a lace dress with a lovely black sash at the waist? Just perfect for a lovely day for two love birds.

perfect red cocktail dress


Since I'm in the cocktail mood... I think I'll slip into this vintage red tulip dress. (I wish!)

Pour me another...















If you want to drink in style, why not do so at home? Sounds good to me! I would love to have a fabulous drinks cart, trolley, or table, featuring lots of pretty glasses, bottles, and accessories. For now, I will just peruse images of such lovely things... Cheers!
