Isn’t it good, Norwegian Wood?

We ADORE anything Scandinavian, wooden & mid century modern. Now these beauties are California made, but they are mid century, they are wooden and they are pretty Scandanvian-esque. Made from stunning Black Walnut by Gladmark of Burbank, they are truly outstanding vintage pieces. 

Just recently we happened upon another Gladmark piece, a gorgeous carving board. We’ll be listing it soon, but we are definitely fans of this mid century (non Norwegian) wood company. 



Champagne is always the answer!

What’s not to love about a festive glass of bubbly? Champagne is liquid fabulousness, and what better way to keep your bubbles cold at a party or picnic than this gorgeous vintage mid century champagne ice bucket? Made in Italy, it possesses all the flair and stylishness that a bottle of champs deserves. Lovely!

“I only drink champagne on two occasions, when I am in love and when I am not.” – Coco Chanel. Smart lady.

Espresso yourself! 

The spring forward to Daylight Savings time can really be a struggle, especially when kids are involved. Losing that precious hour of sleep can throw off your body clock big time. If you’re like us, coffee is the go to solution…we’re not ashamed to admit to a full blown caffeine addiction round these parts.

Check out this sweet vintage stovetop Moka (Espresso) pot, made in Italy. Makes rich, steaming coffee in a jiffy. Looks pretty flash too!

The luck of the Irish

St. Paddy’s day is just around the corner and it’s the perfect time for Irish Coffee…a creamy mix of everything good  – coffee, cream and whiskey. Delish!

These whimsical vintage pedestal glasses set you up to make the perfect Irish Coffee, with marks on the side for the ingredients. Click the image to see them in our store.

Orange-ya glad you came?

We love a good pun (and bad ones too apparently!)

But seriously, how fantastic is this cookware? These Georges Briard saucepans, in the highly sought after Carousel design, are a merry-go-round of colour (yep, we went there). And when our favourite color orange is featured like this, what’s not to love?

Gorgeous!

Holy Toledo!

How fun is the bright orange retro-ness of this design? Absolutely love this platter in the “Toledo” pattern. And boy, has it had a journey through time and across the globe.

JAJ (now Crown) is England’s version of Pyrex and is hard to find anywhere outside of the Commonwealth. This little 1960’s gem was Made in England, snapped up in Australia and ended up in America. Kinda reminds us of another little orange traveler…42 Wallaby Way, Sydney anyone?

Both practical and collectible, this vintage platter is a gem.
