Collection inspiration: Angel toppers

12.15.2011 by Stephanie May under Etsy Picks,Holidays,Home decor,vintage

Growing up, we always had a cute Christmas tree in each bedroom.  I always loved that tradition, and I loved that each tree could be customized to each of us.  One of the things that I always wanted on the tree was a pretty angel.  I am thinking that I need to start a vintage tree angel collection!  Stormie has a really pretty one, and I just got one this week for $.75.   I love each of these from Etsy:

Darling angel from Kitsch Cafe

Redhead in red!  From Lr Monkey Toes  (for some reason, the face of this angel reminds me of my cousin Elise!)

Gold beauty with halo from rewanted

The funny thing is, I wouldn’t want to put any of these on top my tree.  They’re much too pretty to be out of immediate eyesight.  What’s on top of your tree?

You impress me

I honestly cannot get enough of letterpress.  It makes me so happy, and someday – someday I will do my own.  But until then, here are a few of my current favs from Etsy:

{Alphabet by One Canoe Two}

{Feathers Block Print by One Canoe Two}

{Diamond card by Tabletop Made}

{Kitchen Utensils by Ruff House Art}

{Pattern Postcards by Quill and Arrow Press}

Also, I’ve suddenly developed an obsession with airmail envelopes.  Weird?  Yeah maybe…but I really need to get my hands on some – they are so pretty.  Got any lying around in your Grandma’s garage?

Love,

Stormie Dae

Almost time…

Cutest scarf ever.

Amazing shoes.

Seriously in LOVE with this hat!

This skirt is the perfect length for fall.

Cutest necktie necklaces.

Okay, not for me, but this coat is ultra-cute nonetheless.

I can’t wait…how about you?

Love,

Etsy Picks: MayDae

8.14.2011 by Stephanie May under Etsy Picks,Fashion,Our Etsy Shop,vintage

We MayDae sisters have been busy little bees….wanna see?

Chevron dress

Leather cut-out flats

Taupe dress with matching shrug

Peach Polka Dot dress

Taupe dress with full skirt

Red floral dress with belt

Candy Striped Romper

Don’t you just love all of these?!  All of these pieces were found, styled, and photographed by Stormie Dae and I.  We enlisted the help of our sisters to model for us one afternoon, and this is some of the results of that day:)  Head over to our shop to see even more!
………………………………………….
Do you want to help us settle an argument?  Stormie Dae bought these brown tassel shoes:

Brown woven tassel flats

And I bought these yellow slingback heels:

Yellow chunky slingback heels

We listed both of these at the same time in our shop, and we have a little friendly bet going – which one of these pairs of shoes will sell first?  I think that the yellow heels will, and Stormie thinks that the brown flats will.  Who shall win?

Which ones do you prefer?  :)

Love,

Loads of FIBBIE ♥

8.9.2011 by Stephanie May under Etsy Picks,Fashion,kids,vintage

This week I am updating my vintage kid’s clothing store – FIBBIE.  I opened it back in April (you can read about it here) and it’s been way too long since I’ve done a big update.  I missed it!  I also designed a new shop banner:

I wanted to incorporate a photo of my little tiny fibbie kids – aren’t they cute?  I am planning on updating with many more pieces this week, so take a look now, and later…okay?

I love vintage kid’s clothes so much!  It’s fun to be able to turn something that you love into a job:)

Love,

Stephanie May*

The notes roll ’round in my head.

Music festivals…one of most fun things to do during a hot Summer…yes?  Last year, both Stephanie and I were involved in working for a one-day music festival(Heaven Fest) and this year is almost no different…except that Stephanie decided to take this year off so it’s just me:)

The festival has been keeping me super busy for the last couple of months and specifically the last few weeks because it happens next weekend…yikes!  So while I will be working like a crazy person the day of – I still need to feel like I’m decent enough for people to see.  I decided to throw together a few, “if I could afford it and it wasn’t so close to the festival, I would buy these to wear” Etsy picks for you – aren’t you excited?!

Etsy Picks: Denim skirts

7.12.2011 by Stephanie May under Design,Etsy Picks,Fashion,vintage

I’m on the hunt for some cute denim/jean skirts for fall.  I’m not looking for one particular design or style, but I really really love all of these!

I ADORE this skirt from Simone’s Rose.  Seriously breathtaking.

The styling of these photos by Artfully Urban is fantastic.  It’s such an ultra-cool look.

 

Bow skirt.  Need I say more?  (!!!)  Skirt from Iggy Frankie & Cab.

The volume of this skirt by MaLieb is perfect.  I soooo want to wear it!

These are my fav denim skirts from Etsy – which one is your favorite?  C’mon, show these sellers some love:)

Love,

Monday Pretties

6.20.2011 by Stormie Dae under Art,Etsy Picks,Fashion,Home decor

Today was rainy and gorgeous and I finally did something new in my living room!  I used a new wire book shelf, new art pieces and other odds and ends to decorate a wall…all courtesy of thrift stores and recent garage sales.  I might finally be ready to start a house tour soon!  I can’t promise I will be able to show the entire house all at once(I can actually pretty much guarantee it won’t happen), but I think as I finish rooms, I will show them to you.  The new wall makes  me happy to look at and I can’t wait to show you!

To go with my pretty wall, here are some Etsy pretties I found today and am swooning over:

Somewhere over the rainbow…

6.8.2011 by Stormie Dae under Etsy Picks,Fashion,Food,Hair,vintage

My mom sent me the link to this incredible wedding the other day.  I am literally re-posting almost every photo from the site because I couldn’t narrow down my favorites.  Once again, no – I am not getting married…but I am still compiling ideas for ‘someday’…and this wedding will FOR SURE be going in my folder.  I can’t even put into words my feelings on this…you just have to see for yourself:

I am honestly salivating over these gorgeous dresses!

Just for funsies, I’ve compiled some Etsy Picks that I think would be darling for a rainbow themed wedding.  Can you imagine how many cute ideas you could come up with outside of just Etsy too?!  Ahhhhhhh!….swoon.

(rainbow explosion cake pops by cocoa confections, edible butterflies from sugar robot, candy buttons by andie’s specialty sweets)

(vintage rainbow sandals from lady80vintage, flower girl tutu dress by the little pea, floral necklace by la romantica, child’s bowtie by littlevys, bouquet clutch by afropumpkin)

(vintage polaroid one-step camera from letter kay, confetti eggs by jokey yokey, confetti garland by kristina marie, vintage mason jar solar lights by used and abused, paper straws from sweet estelle’s, wooden cake topper by star house)

You’re in love right?!

If I were to actually do a rainbow themed wedding, I would DEFINITELY have polaroid one-step cameras at each table with film…kinda in love with this idea actually. 

Love,

Stormie Dae
