Novelty Print of the Day -- 1970s MUCHA PRINT Art Nouveau Blouse

What a beautiful blouse! I only recently became familiar with the art of Alphonse Mucha, and fell in love with it instantly.

Most of the women in his paintings look like goddesses from some far away make believe world. They are always clothed in these gorgeous lush ensembles, and usually surrounded by flowers of some kind.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to be painted in this way someday?
A gal can dream. ;)

TUPPERLIGHTS :: Colorful & Unique Lighting

A couple of my friends on Etsy sell vintage housewares and upcycled items in their cute little shop BootsnGus. Recently, one of them started making these super cool lights made out of vintage Tupperware of all things!
He calls them "Tupperlights".
I recently just put in my order for a purple or pink one.

Aren't they so mod and colorful? Love 'em!!

Check out more of these bright treasures and vintage housewares in their shop here.

Novelty Print of the Day -- 1970s LOVERS PHOTO T-shirt

♫ Just like me. . .they long to be . . . close to you ♫

How about this for novelty prints?
I've always loved photographic prints on clothes.
This kitschy romantic tee is kinda funny, but a little sweet too.
I like the light coming in through the tree in the background.

Lovey Dovey on a little t-shirt.

oh, and the quoted song is none other than this little tune by the Carpenters. (always been a fave)


The story of Karen Carpenter is such a sad one, but we'll talk about that later. . .
