When the temperatures drop, nothing’s more splendid than sinking into a comfy chair (or bed, for that matter!), propping up your feet, and cozying up with a blanket from Gramma. Fortunately, I have a blanket from my own Grams, but that won’t stop me from perusing the thrift stores for even more blankets, and especially for some fun foot stools.

I thought it would be fun to share with you each week things that are inspiring me in the realm of the home. Let’s make it a date every Friday, shall we?

Listening to Frank Sinatra while browsing vintage coats on Etsy is bad, baaad news for Paypal accounts. Luckily, only after placing three snazzy 50s coats in my cart- but before checking out, I came to my senses. Wait… stop! What are you doing? Slapping my face, I came to and stopped imagining myself sauntering down a snowy sidewalk in my “new” fur trimmed plaid swing coat, peering into frosty window displays of shops such as Higbee’s or Polsky’s… I mean, those charming old department stores have long been closed, and nobody plays Frank Sinatra music to set the mood as you wander around downtown. Unless, of course I’m listening to my iPod, and that would certainly break the charm. Similarly to the penny that Christopher Reeve left in his pocket in Somewhere in Time. And I don’t even have an iPod. So, yeah. Cart emptied.
Ah, but not to waste all of that time browsing Etsy for winter coats, I thought I would share with you some of my favorites. So here they are. Happy shopping! (And to be sure, winter coats will soon be making their appearance to Fine & Dandy Vintage as well!)
