Weekend Vintage: Christmas Greetings
There is something fundamentally old-timey about the holidays. It is the single time of year when classic, timeless traditions still prevail at the heart of things. These vintage greetings are no exception; they convey the spirit of the season and they have an added effect: nostalgia. The vintage aesthetic brings to mind images of grandmas preparing elaborate dinners, sparkly cocktail dresses, creeping down stairs, stuffing stockings with oranges and hard candy, singing Christmas carols in quiet neighborhoods, hiding new puppies in boxes, etc. I love it all so much.

Happy Halloween!
Hope you all had a wonderful day full of tricks and treats! Vintage PaperMichelle below; the 80s were a strange time - and that is one skeptical little clown, if I’ve ever seen one. haha. Happy Halloween!

Weekend Vintage: MadMen Halloween
An obvious favorite for Halloween costumes this year is MadMen. I’m kind of wishing I would have put together a MadMen themed Halloween party myself - how fun would that be?? Maybe we’ll just have to have a thematic cocktail party…hmm…interesting idea. Check out these Etsy finds - Joan would approve.
While you’re at it - you should TOTALLY “MadMen Yourself!” Love it.

State Fair
Another reminder that summer is coming to a close: State Fair! A visit to the fair is always entertaining. Some of the highlights here in Wisconsin are the piglet races, cream puffs (YUM) and all the dairy products from around the state (we are the Dairy State, if you didn’t know.) It usually makes for a fun, food-filled time - a perfect way to wrap up festival season. Here are some appropriate Etsy finds!

Barbershop Quartet Dress!
I’m in love. I saw this dress on Etsy about a week ago in violetvillevintage’s shop. I couldn’t handle it anymore - had to get it! The best part is that the print is a barbershop quartet - how adorable is that?! I don’t think I have to worry about wearing the same thing as anyone else. 
Can’t wait for it to arrive.
