I am so flattered to be featured in the Forefront Fashion blog. Nate and Laura did an amazing job, and their blog is just the thing we need in Portland, Maine.

A cool blog about cool things

I love this blog, and I’m flattered that they featured my 60’s metal Daisy trays.
Check out my Etsy store for more cool vintage housewares.
Danish Modern Enamelware. Just one more obsession.

I like to think that Mr. NSV have the fondue type of lifestyle. However, we’re more the stir-fry and omelets type (though we do own a white shag rug carpet). So the avocado green enamel pan stays. The crazy sputnik shaped Cathrineholm fondue set is up for auction now.
Summer vacation

It’s summer. I’m lazy. Or rather, I’m distracted. Here are some things that keep me occupied.
- My garden (sorry no pics – we had a massive near tornado here last night and it looks like “walk of shame” hair.
- Reading about my talented friend, Greta Bank, in Downeast Magazine.
- Training for the Mount Desert Island Marathon (oh my poor feet). Which entails
- Listening to loads of podcasts, including my new favorites, RISK! and Stuff you Missed in History Class.
- And listening to music, like this, for example
- Getting super worked up about Madmen, and Madmen-ing myself in the meantime (mmm…bloody mary).
- Motorcycling
- Reading, reading, reading, reading. I’m especially taken with Steig Larsson. You may have heard of him?
- And of course, finding more vintage. Stay tuned for some amazing vintage menswear, and lots of good cold weather items. I find the best wools and velvets here in Maine.
Flattery will get you everywhere.

I am thrilled to have my vintage 70’s silver metal/conch belt (now on Etsy) mentioned in the Popfizzvintage Blog post about the 70’s Glam Trend for fall. Reese has a great eye, and I’m not just saying that because she featured on of my items.
Oh, what the heck? 60% Off Sale.
Posted on | June 14, 2010 | No Comments
Slowly I’m reworking my business, so I’m selling less on eBay, more on Etsy, more from my website, and even more locally. So I’m having a 1 week sale – 60% off all items in my eBay store.
The sale has only run an hour and already one dress has been snatched up, so take advantage while you can!
Click on the 50’s lace cocktail dress (now only $36.00) to go to the sale.
Cool stuff

A few things:
I love this blog: Portland Food Coma.
This one too: Unseen Portland.
Alfred Shaheen Exhibit at the San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles.
Kickshaw Productions Shoe Exhibit in Hong Kong.
Isabella Blow/Alexander McQueen Auction.
Found Super 8 Film Clips (related listening: This American Life Episode 225: Home Movies).
1977 Zine about “How to Look Punk.” (pdf file, but worth it). I could have used this.
My garden rocks.
My Ducati is almost fixed.
And on a final geeky note, I am insanely excited about the new Rush film.

My eBay sale is going so well that I thought I’d lower the prices on some of my Etsy. Click on the purse to see the clothes, fabric, jewelry and accessories now on sale.
Spring Sale – 30% off eBay Store Items!
Posted on | May 10, 2010 | No Comments
Usually at this time of year I have a sale to help pay for motorcycle costs. But the BMW is perfect (of course) and the Ducati is almost completely repaired. However, I have a new addiction – my garden. I cannot drive past a garden center without getting a jones.
So to help fund the landscaping around our new brick patio, I’m marking down my eBay store items by 30%.
Click on the Dragonfly print maxi dress to see the sale:
