Retro Holiday Party

I can't believe it's almost December!  We had our first snowfall last week, so now I'm thinking about the holidays.  Specifically, today I'm thinking about holiday parties... I won't be throwing one this year, but if I did, I'd want it to look something like this:

Dorothy Thorpe Style Lowball Glasses, Available from Pillowsophi on Etsy

Crochet Poinsettia by BobbiLewin on Etsy

Pair of Hans Wegner Danish Modern Chairs, Available from thecircamodern on Etsy

Luminarc Ruby Red Cavalier Glasses, Available from Pillowsophi on Etsy

Vintage Black Party Dress, Available from Conjurers on Etsy

Vintage Christmas Lights, Available from AloofNewWhimsy on Etsy

I'd love to hear about your plans for the holidays!  Will you be throwing or attending any parties?  Do you have a favourite party theme?

One of My Favourite Blogs: Scarlet Begonia Vintage!

Hello everyone!  I've been MIA for a month, but now I'm back and I've got a lot of posts in the works.  They're all up here.  (Yes, that sentence is supposed to indicate that I'm sitting alone in front of my computer, tapping myself on the side of the head and winking at the screen.)  If you liked my first Dybdahl post, you're going to love the next one.  And if you liked this post about Denby's "Ode" pattern, I hope you'll enjoy my upcoming post about my favourite Denby pattern, "Studio" (sneak preview: this pitcher).

However, I know most of you are probably looking for something to read right now.  And so, my friends, it is my pleasure to introduce you to  
Scarlet Begonia Vintage.  

Jess of Scarlet Begonia Vintage is currently running a "Tricks or Treats" series, which consists of a number of fantastic guest posts.  Among other things, guest bloggers teach you how to make a fabric pumpkin (I'd use funky vintage fabric!) and decorate your house for Halloween on a budget.

There are so many fabulous posts on Scarlet Begonia Vintage; I don't think I can pick a favourite.  However, I particularly enjoyed this post about a fabulous vintage clothing store in Brooklyn.  I hope you will, too!

P.S.  If you love the blog, can also find Scarlet Begonia Vintage on Etsy!
