Hi,how are ya? I thought I would share some of the items I use daily.
I bought this vintage 1950's vanity mirror from a thrift store in town for about $15. Ya, I could have bought a brand new one for the same price. But it would not of had this beautiful base of stems,and flowers.
This is a metal,and glass loose powder holder from the 1950's too. I found this at the same thrift shop,different day,for around $8. At first I wasn't sure how I would use it. But then it came to me. Elastic bands a.k.a. pony tail holders.
Last but not least. Here's a cute mirror vanity tray also from the 50's. It's not very big,but oh so cute!
See the cute flower on the edge? You just can't find this kind of stuff anymore. Maybe if you special order from catalogs,or find an on-line store. But not at any of your major box stores around town. On another note. I would like to talk to you about Bring on the Bling. This blog started out with only modeling nail polish. Recently I've had the urge to add other aesthetic items of beauty. Like the vintage items exhibited today. Or the cosmetics I've modeled in the past. I will continue to model pretty nail polish. Just not everyday. This is the main reason why I haven't been blogging a whole lot. I'm kind of tired of just talking about nail polish. So from here on out you will see things that are beautiful to the eye of this beholder. I completely understand if this is not what your looking for,and my feelings will not be hurt if your not interested in following. No. I'm not trying to provoke you into not following......I'm just saying....that I totally understand that some of you follow strictly to see what certain colors,brands of nail polish look like,and the wearing/staying power of them. So with that being said... Enjoy the beauty that is around you.

I'll enjoy your new format for your blog. Love allof your pretty vanity items. I used to have a vanity. It was more like a desk. It used to belong to my Mother's bedroom set. I bought new furniture and I got rid of the old set. I still wish I had it. I had so much room plus a nice place to do my makeup. I've been getting tired of just looking at nail polish lately. I haven't been on any blogs for about three days. Can't wait to see more beautiful things from you.
ReplyDeleteLucy- Awww...I wish you had your mom's vanity too. I'm sure it was lovely. I've been known to get rid of old things that I wish I hadn't. But sometimes it happens. That's why I love the thrift store. Some ones trash might be my treasure. Thanks for the support. The idea to write about other things that are beautiful. Has been brewing awhile in my mind. And now seemed like a good time to do it.
