    Little girls might have plastic bracelets in their jewelry boxes, but we big girls aren't content with just any ol' plastic. No, we want the real deal and that means vintage Bakelite. Bakelite, like many scientific finds, was discovered by accident in 1907 and it soon became known as "the material of a thousand uses." It wasn't long, however, before designers discovered that this fire-resistant plastic, originally created for industrial purposes, was also perfect for bracelets, necklaces, earrings and pins. These stunning items are now highly collectible and can be quite addictive. But a word of warning: some of them carry very big girl price tags. Just click the SLIDESHOW to see the selection.

    A pan is a pan, but why shouldn't it also be a too-cute panda face? Where most people go for function, I know that if I'm going to be looking at something, it should at the very least be cute, really cute. Showing off your charming personality through some unique and unexpected pieces in the home can definitely transform a living space, but for some reason people forget about the kitchen. I don't mean hanging plants or buying a whole new counter top; people forget that kitchenware can be both functional and kitschy. Plasticland makes a pair of oh-so-delightful vintage inspired poodle salt and pepper shakers and Wishing Fish makes a super sweet strawberry tea kettle. So cute that you will dump your solid colored ones to make room for these. Check out my favorite adorable pieces of kitchenware, that, by the way, also get the job done, in my slideshow!
