An Attempt to Tip the Scales

My Grandma Kutch (the one who used to own an antique store when I was little) bought me this purse at Rebecca's Antiques and it struck me as so odd.. I had to stare at it for at least an hour to figure out whether I liked it or not.. I get SO many comments on it because people just don't know how else to react! It's quite funny, actually.. everyone seems to have a comment about it. 

Now it is my favorite purse in the world. Yes, it works! It's from the 1950's!

Burn Down the Disco!

 

I've had this vest for a couple years.. I got it at H&M.. I've been collecting random pins ever since! I mostly get them from thrifting and antique shops. My mom also gave me some and I also found the dangly blue one at Recycled Records in Springfield, IL!

My friend Abby Gibbons made me this hooly. I love it so much. She is a magnificent friend..

West Side Story is one of my most favorite movies! I LOVE musicals and they give me chills! (especially older ones). Have you seen it?

No, My Fair Lady is not my favorite movie by Audrey Hepburn (I have the Breakfast At Tiffany's Soundtrack on vinyl, too!!) but I thought I'd buy it, anyway :) What do you think about My Fair Lady? Yay or nay? (I believe she only sang like.. two of the songs in the movie)

Super excited about this! A great find! I'm getting ready to spin it right nao!

This movie is a classic. Love it.♥

Here is a peek at the letters I sent to my pen pals!

I would love to acquire more pen pals! You can just e-mail me with your address and we'll swap!

Well, I was looking forward to staying in tonight and making some new buttons.. but my cousin called and is having a get together tonight at his house.. this only happens once in a blue moon so... I am off in a flash!

Linda Zimmers House Tour!

this is her little collection of little vintage pitchers.. aren't they cute?

in love with this doily pillow and little puppet!

this is her junk trellis.. instead of flowers, she likes using things she would otherwise throw away. Clever idea, huh? :)

this is a collection of vintage medicine bottles and toiletries in her bathroom! This was my favorite feature in her house!

she decapauged this mirror with old advertisements from magazines! Such a creative idea!

these are vintage string holders she collects in her kitchen.. when someone would need string in the 50's they'd keep the ball of string behind the doll (it's hollow) and pull it out through the mouth! She stopped collecting them, though.. because they've gone up in price. About 50-100 dollars or so now!

this is also her kitchen. See the vintage colored bowls? So awesome :)

she made this little cat and mouse out of wood!

theses are vintage perfume bottles in another bathroom of hers. She collects SO many things!

love, polly

look what I found yesterday!

times!)
