ETSY FAVORITES: Making Nice with the Bar
When a lady combines a week of Mad Men watching with a week of thrifting and antiquing, she can't help but completely obsess over vintage bar equipment. This girl loves a happy hour downtown with friends, but now that it's getting cooler outside, I'm anticipating a swiftly impending season of hibernation. A gawgeously stocked bar certain makes hiding away at home a lot classier. Am I right?
And so, let the liquor lust continue, courtesy of these Etsy sellers:
- Wood Grain and Lace Tray | $8.00 from Ada Lou
- Vintage Bird Glasses | $11.00 from Bliss and Vinegar
- Vintage Cocktail Shaker | $20.00 from Hyacinth Vintage
- Four Depression Shot Glasses | $30.00 from The Little Green House
- Owl Corkscrew and Bottle Opener | $12.00 from Village East Vintage
- Pink Glass Decanter | $36.00 from The Glam Lamb
- Amber Glass Decanter | $25.99 from Jolly Tim One
You are absolutely right! Sadly I’m really not good at mixing cocktails, although I would so love to learn that. Mixing your own cocktail after a long day just has something really fancy, I think.
You have lovely taste.
Cute! I never thought if collecting vintage bar equipment. It’s super cute. I’d love to collect it when I have a house someday. Or an apartment with a bar. XO, Rae

I’ll have a Brandy Alexander!
Once upon a time I lived in an apartment with a wall of built-ins that included a wet bar. Dang, those days were SWANK.
A week of Mad Men sounds so nice. After we get married I’d really like to invest in some nice/cute barware, starting with a vintage bar cart! I love all the ones that Sterling Cooper folks have in their offices.
Ha, that lace tray was the first thing I added to my etsy favourites from Ada Lou yesterday!
oh my..i was just sick and watched mad men for a week straight haha! i’m obsessing over retro bar pieces, really looking for the perfect vintage seltzer bottle. i adore that vintage cocktail shaker! we are working on getting our living room finished so we can have friends over..and hang out around our bar!

LOL that is too funny. I heart your finds. The other weekend I totally bought a canape tray thing while thrifting fully knowing that I was only buying it because it reminded me of Mad Men.
I am in the same boat as you. I just finished watching all of the Mad Men episodes and I am dying to get a stocked vintage bar!I want some cute double old fashioned glasses.
Very nice. I find that at home bars are few and far between in this day and age which is a shame. Thank you for sharing some lovely finds.

Watching Mad Men is so dangerous for my shopping habit! Every time I finish an episode I have an itch to go thrifting. I love your picks! xoxo Marissa

This is a truly beautiful post! Love the decanters, I totally need to put a bar set together.
Thanks so much for including my wild bird glasses in your post alongside all of these other lovely items!
What a fantastic round-up!
Ooh such beautiful stuff! The cooler weather does mean hibernation, and to be honest it’s my favourite part of the cool seasons. I’ve been meaning to make a home bar for a while now, this gives me some good ideas!
