What I Wore to Renew our Wedding Vows in Positano 20 Years Later! After finding this - made from a 1920’s embroidered piano shawl - at ‘s booth at , I circled back a few days later because as a forever flapper, I just couldn’t stop thinking about her 🤩 It was then I decided this would be the dress I would wear to return to our favorite spot from our honeymoon 9/12/24 💕 The epic-ally long fringe makes it impossible to walk (lol) but I wanted to wear her as is before altering her to make her more wearable. Lucky for me, we didn’t leave the balcony! I’m thinking of adding a high slit and taking the fringe from the hem to give a tiered fringe effect. Any thoughts / ideas? 💡

Lots of gorgeous new arrivals to see at the shop today, including this 1930’s black silk velvet dress / dressing gown with scrolled metal detail on the collar. Thought this purse complimented it perfectly! Go see my Mom “Susy Sunbeam” so she has a fun, busy day! 🐝🛍️

I love finding a vintage treasure I’ve never seen before! I scored this “cameo seashell” at today (sorry, not for sale) when I dropped off my beautiful Thonet Bentwood rocking chair (yes, this is for sale!) The chair sadly no longer fits in our living room now that we have a larger couch so I really hope it finds someone who loves it as much as I do! Now, you can check it out yourself at 👏 Tell Andrea I sent you xo

For Local Pick-Up Only: I’m selling this beautiful rocking chair I found at an antique shop only a year or so ago in New Jersey. I’ve always wanted one and am sad to let this one go since she’s the most gorgeous one I’ve ever seen! Alas, we got a larger couch so we must make room.

These rockers regularly retail for $900+. Listed for $675 but happy to do $500 to get her a good new home. Get yourself a special vintage treasure! Especially perfect for a vintage loving new mom 💓

Air Conditioned Lawnmower, 1957

In October 1957, advertisements introduced the “Power Mower of the Future,” showcasing the next generation of lawn mowing equipment.

This innovative machine featured a bubble-shaped model with its own air conditioning system. The lawnmower had a five-foot diameter plastic sphere where the rider sat on an air-foam cushioned seat.

Equipped with an electric generating system, it powered running lights, a radio telephone, air conditioning, and even a cooling system for a chilled drink on a hot day. This versatile machine could mow the lawn, w**d, feed, seed, spray for insects, plow snow, and haul equipment. It could even double as a golf cart.

More than just a concept, this machine was featured on the cover of a 1958 edition of Mechanix Illustrated. However, it never went into production.

Wow 😱
