A little romance . . . Vintage for the bride - lovely ivory clutch embellished with an overall pattern of beads in various sizes. Yet, with a bit of light, this clutch comes to life with just enough shine. Truly a beauty for a wedding day - or any special day.

This vintage restaurant plate is high on the list of favorites . . . The simple turquoise rim on crisp and clean white has a bright contemporary appeal. - Heavy and Durable Restaurant Ware - No worries about chipping or breaking with ordinary use. Produced by Walker China in Bedford, Ohio in 1963 - and still looking great. #retrokitchen #midcenturyhome #crispwhite #turquoise #vintagedinnerware #bedfordohio #madeinohio #etsysuccess #etsyshop #etsyvintage #etsymagazine #etsyseller #etsyfinds #reusereducerecycle https://etsy.me/2F4gQXd
Feeling a little stressed? The old standard, a cup of tea has its merits. And this teapot is stress-free by design. As with all things, the devil is in the details - Russel Wright does not disappoint. The handle allows a hand to slip in comfortably; the lid has a catch and the spout pours smoothly without dripping. This just might be the best teapot that you have ever owned. Russel Wright American Modern Teapot in Granite Gray has the clean lines so distinctive of the designer’s work - long curves without hard edges inspired by the natural world. The gray glaze has the depth and variation of color as does granite. Depending on the light, beneath the gray, you will catch a bit of blue as well. #teapots #russelwright AmericanModern #Steubenville #Teapot #modern #organicdesign #minimalist #MCM #vintagestyle #vintagehomewares #etsyshop #etsyseller #etsymagazine #etsyvintage https://etsy.me/2Hegp2x
Russel Wright Coasters in Coral produced by Steubenville Pottery from 1939-1959. American Modern remains the best selling dinnerware ever produced . . . No need to keep it in the kitchen. This little tray will hold a ring . . . now there is an idea. Certainly, a novel idea to woo a Modern Millie. #homedecor #Barware #Coasters #RusselWright #Coral #ModernDinnerware #AmericanModern #SteubenvillePottery #MinimalistDesign #OrganicDesign #Coasters #ModernDesign #vintagetsyle #MCM #etsymagazine #etsyseller #etsysuccess #etsyvintage #madeinusa #vintageetsyshop etsy.me/2HuCBlA
