Antique Helper: something for you, something for me

Here a pile of those vintage stuffed animals I love, in case you are early shopping for my birthday or something, up for auction at Antique Helper this Saturday. Steiff plush has been around since the turn of the century and were originally made of  horsehair and straw. I prefer the mid century mohair ones not stuffed with mite collecting stuffing. You can also get Vargas pin-ups, American Indian pottery and an amazing Victorian multi glass lamp. Express auction afterwards! No internet competition!

Grey Market Wine

A new way to get your drank on: Grey Market Wine, a tasting room/event space that showcases a super exclusive wine buying club. Here's the deal, for a yearly fee you can order small varietal wines to be delivered and also partake in tasting events. The super cool barn space can be rented for parties, like the one I attended pre-Oscars with Retro101 after driving by it's super secret location in Zionsville about 20 times. Check it www.greymarketwine.com

Bethany Frankel I want to love you I do

Hey, here is Bethany Frankel doing my signature pose I had before a 20 year lie stole my mojo.

Anyway, I went to see this entrepreneur last night at the Madame Walker. Her product, Skinny Girl Cocktail is an amazing branding coup not to mention an on trend great idea. Personally,  I don't really care for it but I am kind of snotty.Call me when there is a Skinny Girl Bourbon. RE: the talk. obviously she is super charming and would be a great addition to a cocktail party. BUT  I was hoping for a bit of inspiration, a bit of GO GIRL but found it way more anecdotal. I want to like this so bad as a fellow mom and just the whole scrappy ness of it but I feel advice like "I'd rather be lucky then smart" just sums it all up. And I am not really sure where the audience generated pussy shaving question fell. Was it just titillating? Or was it a chance for the subject to show off? Kind of trashy, really. Dislike.

New habit

So the monthly new habit has rolled over into March. I decided to combine de cluttering and self improvement into one. The new habit is this: to use (and use up) some of the collosal collection of samples, over buys and etcetera like just in general extra product that I have hanging around by digging into it every day. . I'm kind of excited to perhaps discover the Holy Grail treatment that will change my life, or at the very least free up some cabinet space.
