Beauty Sleep

My new sleep mask from Mini Lime !

She made it just the way I want, all pink and foofy. I can't wait to try it out!

Update 3/30: This is even cuter in person. Very soft and comfortable. A small luxury for next to nothing!

Etsy Purchase: Vintage Floral Serving Spoon!

I love Etsy. And vintage. And collecting things. That's why I was so easily inspired to buy this beautiful spoon after reading The Vintage Table: Personal Treasures and Stand-Out Settings by Jacqueline DeMontravel. It features such pretty pieces mixed and matched. So, it put me on the hunt for the lovely things that I did not inherit, but still long for.

I found this treasure of a spoon at:Round to It and Vintage.

Here is the description:

"Grand styled deeply etched serving spoon from the 1930/40’s era but could be earlier. Hallmarked with a shamrock and labeled “EPNS (electroplated nickel silver) ENGLAND”. Spoon measures 7.5” long and the bowl is 1.75 across which indicates a good serving size."

I love the dimensional flowers! I have visions of my table covered with an embroidered cloth, with mismatched dishes and accessories with loads of personality. And pretty iced cakes and adorable teacups. Dream with me, here.

Vintage compact purchase

I am super excited about this pre-1950s compact that I bought on Etsy. I found it in Vintage Warehouse's shop.
It is one of those dealies that has a handle that holds a small lipstick, and under the compact part there are spots for powder and rouge. A few years ago Benefit made reproduction compacts like this and I've kicked myself that I didn't buy one then.
So, hooray!

My antique Hair Receiver

I recently purchased this frosted glass hair receiver from Cape Cod Mercantile at Etsy . I'm very fond of it. The seller included a length of lace so the pot can be used as a dispenser, but I'm thinking about using it the old fashioned way: to collect my hair to make a rat to use in a hair roll. Is that too icky?
