Kitschy Kurtains

I'm a bit giddy over my new-to-me kitschy kitchen kurtains.

Found 'em on ebay last week and they arrived in good order with the tag still attached.

Believe me...I didn't get as good a deal as W.T. Grant offered back in the day 'cuz true kitsch is priceless folks!

I'm debating whether to embrace their kitschiness with a row of pom poms like these or these or even these. 

 

Another upside to having closed the vintage shop is there was no guilt over keeping my all-time favs like these crying onions.

 

Our rental house is by no means 'pinterest perfect' but as Patrick tells me I just gotta embrace its fifty shades of brown so that's what I'm doing ;)

Vintage Kitchen Collection

All sorts of odds 'n ends are being gathered together to form "collections" for the shop. I'm determined to leave Kansas with less stuff than I moved here with 5 years ago--in home AND studio. Anyone who's seen my studio knows this is a TALL order (right Patrick?!). Lizzie jumped in on the action contributed her toy rolling pin to this kitchen collection. She's saving up money for more Legos and will receive 1/10 of the profit when it sells  :)

Put Out My Lights

Put Out My Lights Carnival Sign at bellalulu

I have no idea what's involved in the carnival game "Put Out My Lights" but I do know it only cost a single dollar (and had some really cool signage to boot)! Anyhow, the sign inspired this collection of vintage objects from my Etsy favorites. Enjoy!

Each image in the Sushipot Vignette series is composed of a grouping of objects found in and around my home or studio. This owl trivet has been perched sink ledge since we moved in a couple years ago. Maybe I should take time to hang him up? Take a peek at previous images in my vignette series here.
