A silly little thing that makes me happy.

[Tiddleywink Vintage]

I'm a big fan of collecting vintage...well, just about anything. As is my Very Bestest Friend In The Whole Wide World, who is currently in town. (Whoop!, right there off the bat). When we're in each other's cities, we go to as many thrift and antique stores as we can reasonably handle. It's a bit of a drag for whomever of us is the visitor, because our purchases are limited by luggage space, but perhaps that just makes us more thoughtful buyers.

This is my turn to be limited only by what will fit in my car, and I didn't go crazy. A breezy, gingham summer dress. Gold-seamed stockings. A stylish Arrow men's summer shirt and some more dress patterns for the store. And this wonderful, red-and-white, makes-me-smile, Schrafft's candy rack. Perfect for holding up my stock of bracelets for both storage and the occasional booth show. I could even lock the ends with a small chain if I wanted, to prevent theft when/if the rack is ever unattended. It is now easier for me to see, at a glance, which color combos I'm out of stock on. And heck, it just looks cool.

Check out my awesome rack ;)
