Recent Vintage Finds in Oklahoma

Oklahoma is very green and lush right now. They are not having a drought like Central Texas.

Okay, this is a total Summer of Love shirt, in poly, which I normally do not do (yuk!). But, I had to make an exception, because the detail was so Tory Burch, and also because I love the fringe!!! I look like a hip Indian maiden when I wear it, or like I escaped from the episode of Star Trek were Kirk got a concussion and found a bride on the alien paradise where everyone looked like Native Americans. Did I mention the label is: Right On! ?

These Pink Elephants on Parade appear to be some kind of mid-century party-tastic drinking glasses with an ice bucket. They were just so adorable my mom had to pick them up.

70s Daisy Kitchen Canisters which will soon be joining my younger sister's very thrifted apartment in Katy, TX. Cute!

Natural Beauty Secrets by Deborah Rutledge. I've included one of the illustrations, but it basically goes into inexpensive beauty treatments that have been around forever, in that special 60s housewife way. The writing is light, engaging and subtlety humorous - it was too retro to pass up. (I'm trying one of them as I type this.)

This Weenie Dog planter was scored at a Goodwill in Austin, TX, but I threw it in for good measure. My mom is a fan of them and Tucker dog is her #1 fan.

We also stepped across the border to Kansas. Kansas, to me, is the home of Superman and the Wizard of Oz. Needless to say, do not eat Mexican food in Kansas.
