NEED.MORE.SLEEP.

I searched my Etsy store and put together a list of items that would be so appropriate, so pretty and so ViNtAgE for Valentines' Day, 2014.  Either as gifts, or purchased to wear to a romantic Valentines' dinner, vintage never goes out of style, and will look gorgeous for a night out on the town or a cozy and friendly morning meetup for coffee.  I'm 99.9% sure that no one else will show up in the same outfit.  




  


After a super cold day, spent battling the elements while on errands, I came home to find a nice surprise.  A package in the mail (one of my greatest joys) containing a glass jar filled with vintage glass buttons.  No plastic here folks, these are real glass class.  

Are they not the prettiest?  I plan to replace the buttons on a couple of sweaters, but what else should I do with them?  I absolutely love glass and these buttons, some with very intricate cuts, are fun to look at and to hold.  They sparkle like diamonds!  The largest ones are big enough for a coat!  A big shout out and thanks to Linda at Rags and Lace Vintage in Washington.  She has quite a collection--you should check her out!  

And for the WEIRD file...

...I never noticed this before, but the bathroom window does some crazy things to the lights outdoors.  Weird thing is, there weren't any lights on.  This is 5:30 a.m.  I got up to get in the shower and had to get my camera.  Cue the Twilight Zone theme:

Now mind you, these things appeared to be about eight feet tall, hovering in the back yard. 

 This is what I get for staying up until 3a watching Twilight Zone, Thriller and Night Gallery.  I need to get more sleep.
