Renuxed Dish Towels! |
Retro Babs is a great Etsy shop full of vintage housewares and upcycled finds. This shop is a Mother-Daughter duo known as Barb and Bec. They stock their shop full of "a little vintage this" and "a bit of handmade that." I love the vintage decor and practicality housed here. Bec enjoys "remixing" things such as making ooak towels -- a lovely set of 3 can be had here for just $10. Bec often embellishes things with her own personal touches, making them more lovely than they originally were.
My absolute favorite has to be the clocks. Ahhhhhh, the clocks. These are a great way to re-use vintage plates, and not to mention would be a great gift idea if you know someone who collects this particular line! There are usually several different versions in stock here.
Although I'm reportedly a kitchenista (RetroBabs stocks plenty of cool kitschy items), I find it interesting to see her mix of lovelies. Here you will find gifts for him, for her, memories for both, and wedding items. These great gloves are only $12, a real steal for the vintage clothing lover, and would be perfect for the bride to be vintage-wedding-style.
Let's not forget the cameras, RetroBabs has some keen eyes for the hottest in vintage camera finds! I just love this 1957 Poloroid Highlander, with original case, booklets, and everything for $30. Perhaps the photographer in you can get this working, or use it for a cool icon in your retro home.
