Floral Music

I had a half-day of work on Tuesday, so of course I ventured back to my favorite thrifts and an antique shop! Oddly enough, they were as crowded as they are on Saturdays, but I still came home with a couple treasures :)

Vintage Panasonic Radio, Love of Jesus; Vintage Floral Ring/Mirror, Midlothian Antiques
I fell in love with this Panasonic radio! It's in full working condition, and it's pure retro awesome. The smallish size makes it perfect for the table beside our couch :)

And of course I had to get this weird contraption of a 'ring'. The top flips up, revealing a mirror for makeup touch-ups and the like. I got it to sell in the etsy shop, but it's so odd and useful in my purse that I might keep it! (Of course, let me know if you'd like me to list it on etsy, and I'll be glad to!)

I hope you have a great weekend! We're going to Goodwill Outlet and a flea market today, so I'll let you know how it goes :)
Always,
Amanda

  2. The ring is so pretty! Plus, always being able to check that you don't have anything in your teeth no matter where you are is pretty clutch.

  3. Now that my shopping ban is over, I would sooooo buy that if you listed it :) Do you know what size it is, or is it adjustable?

  4. It's not adjustable- it's kind of like an arm cuff but for your finger. I would say it would best fit a size 7 or 7.5? I can send you some more pics of it if you want :)

  5. Hi, I read your blog often and have never commented, but I just had to tell you that your ring is actually a lipstick holder. The tube of lipstick goes in the ring part and then the mirror is for applying it. This are from the 60's and lipstick tubes were smaller back then, so a current tube might not fit. It looks really cute as a ring!

  6. Thanks for the tip! Although I agree-I like it better as a ring :)
