Putting vintage enamleware on my DO WANT list. This sweet turquoise server from Object of Beauty has sold but there is plenty more to tempt me!
Also adding platforms to my list. They make you taller without the searing pain and risk of lasting injury that heels bring. These Daphne Platforms by Gee Wa Wa are very fetching!
Teeth & Hair is a wonderful illustration project exploring hair ornaments from Eirian Chapman.
These would fit right into my Art Deco sci-fi fantasy world. Just imagine these made of bakelite! Super cool.

Buddy Guy’s music does things to me. Seriously- I just- I can’t even use my words.
Sugar Pie Desanto’s version is pretty cool too. It can be found along with some other cool tracks on this blues playlist. Makes me think I should start DJing blues events.

Revisiting my YouTube favourites of old and found this. +10 for spindly legs and groovy hair.
I like the colour palettes used in these socks from Solmate Socks. Each pair is mismatched and made from recycled cotton, which makes them even cooler.
