YES. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VW98a6kylPw/T8l8eZBaKyI/AAAAAAAACDg/EechYyCaP1c/s1600/skirt-curtain.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="320" width="222" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VW98a6kylPw/T8l8eZBaKyI/AAAAAAAACDg/EechYyCaP1c/s320/skirt-curtain.jpg" /></a></div><br />
As I am a curtain-hater, I was surprised by how much I actually wanted one. I didn't want one in my living room -no, I enjoy hearing my husband complain every night as he walks around in his skivvies about the lack thereof (curtains, not skivvies) so no, I didn't want to change that. So where? In my office. Thats where. We have tons of foot traffic in front of our house every day and since we sit up a few feet from the sidewalk people look right in allllll the time. And its kind of weird. So yea, I guess I'll take a curtain in my office. <br />

When my mother travels, she sneaks a little Ziploc bag containing a tooth brush, Q tip and dust cloths in the car and cleans everything she can reach from her belted position in the passenger seat. She learned this from her father. A few summers years ago, my grandfather and I had the chance to meet up at my parents house and spend some really quality time together. We planted in the garden and got into our usual amount trouble. At the end of our trip, he passed down his little box of cleaning tools to me. It was a simple gesture but I understood the responsibility that came with accepting his gift. The torch/feather duster had been passed.<br />
<br />
Now, I believe my mother and grandfather were born with the "clean gene". I was not. I'm an average housekeeper, love the smell of laundry detergent -but honestly, I could care less about the two plates and six glasses in my kitchen sink right now. And my house probably needs power washed. And my car is about three months overdue for a bath. <br />
<br />
In efforts to make my family proud, I'm trying to get it together. So I've started my "Getting Clean" period with items I hold closest to my heart: Vintage Clothing!<br />
<br />
My wonderful friend <a href="http://www.dirtchic.com/">Arwen</a> recently shipped me a box containing 37 lbs of gorgeous 1950s and 1960s vintage clothing. Most of it was perfect in every way, but a few things had stains or rust. I picked this gorgeous 2 piece sleeveless, chiffon top and skirt with 12+ rust spots and embarked on my cleaning journey. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-47-QUtg-NbE/T5ghyihfXwI/AAAAAAAACCg/uK0BV6yceUY/s1600/IMG_0194.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="320" width="189" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-47-QUtg-NbE/T5ghyihfXwI/AAAAAAAACCg/uK0BV6yceUY/s320/IMG_0194.jpg" /></a></div><br />
Sad little spots:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6bDMQqkrTls/T5gh8fCoPII/AAAAAAAACCs/SicMF5sT640/s1600/IMG_0201.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="214" width="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6bDMQqkrTls/T5gh8fCoPII/AAAAAAAACCs/SicMF5sT640/s320/IMG_0201.JPG" /></a></div><br />
I ventured to my favorite store ever, ACE Hardware to peruse the cleaning aisle and found some really great products:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OxbK1Py1Kl8/T5giIfk0w2I/AAAAAAAACC4/5IgbGcZmIh0/s1600/IMG_0283.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="214" width="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OxbK1Py1Kl8/T5giIfk0w2I/AAAAAAAACC4/5IgbGcZmIh0/s320/IMG_0283.JPG" /></a></div><br />
One thing I've learned from my family: Tooth brushes are your most important tool! I picked a kids brush for this project because I needed the bristles to be soft enough for the delicate chiffon I would be using it on. <br />
<br />
I'd heard really great things about "Grandma's Secret Spot Remover" and after spot testing the skirt, I proceeded to treat the little rust spots per instructions on the package:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aGaRpUICbxU/T5giRpvJG2I/AAAAAAAACDE/RKXEX9KtAY8/s1600/IMG_0204.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="214" width="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aGaRpUICbxU/T5giRpvJG2I/AAAAAAAACDE/RKXEX9KtAY8/s320/IMG_0204.JPG" /></a></div><br />
Kind of gross, right? Totally looks like my skirt has the measles! <br />
<br />
After the first treatment the spots had faded, but were still visible. I decided that the fabric was in good enough shape to let me try the process one last time, here are my results: <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Y102iBAqnHg/T5gias5KvlI/AAAAAAAACDQ/wtAysSIB0tA/s1600/IMG_8040.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="214" width="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Y102iBAqnHg/T5gias5KvlI/AAAAAAAACDQ/wtAysSIB0tA/s320/IMG_8040.JPG" /></a></div><br />
The "After" was really hard to photograph, as the results were super light. It wasn't a total success, but it was better than what I started with! In some spots the rust had totally faded, but so did the beautiful pink! The chiffon had also shrunk about 1" shy of the lining. <br />
<br />
All in all, this gorgeous pink lady will probably never be fully restored to its original state, but its okay! I absolutely adore it and will be keeping in my collection of "Imperfect Pink's"<br />
<br />
While trying to rehab this dress I ran in to some really helpful resources:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://my-vintage-clothing.blogspot.com/2009/11/cleaning-vintage-clothing.html">Covet and Love It Vintage Fashions</a><br />

<br />
Hot Tip from my friend Laura: "Murphy's oil soap is pretty good at getting spots out of vintage clothing and linens. You can make a spray with it for spot cleaning. Read the label for directions. Or cream of tarter made into a paste with vinegar or water."<br />

One was a blue's and white zig zag pattern and one was a bold colors (think crayola bold colors markers circa 1986) marigold, purple and teal. they were glorious. the bold colored afghan was best when used as our tent top while making forts. someone's big toe had forged holes, larger than the rest, in just the right places so we could easily loop the blanket around the tops of the dining room chairs. the blue's and white zig zag blanket was choice for cold nights, as it had been knit super tight and kept you very warm. the chance for your big toe to pop out of a hole was much slimmer than if you were under the bold colors afghan.<br /><br />yes. purchasing blankets at thrift stores/estate sales can be icky. but not if you are smitten and follow protocol: <br /><br />check it out -if it's got stains and isn't simply amazing just let it go this time. seriously, any stains you can see with your eyes are just plain gross!<br />sniff: if it smells gross -it will always smell gross. pass this one up.<br />if it passes the sniff test -purchase, keep in a separate bag in your trunk until you return home<br />hang your blanket outside overnight. let the cold get to it<br />keep your blanket outside in the sun the next day. let the heat get to it.<br />bring it inside and wash according to fabric content.<br />hang outside to dry.Dingaling Vintagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02235287910952806533noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-263545089018908749.post-30303098191080615192012-01-26T10:47:00.000-08:002012-01-26T10:55:41.053-08:00Mad Mad MenEvery girl wants their man to look like Don Draper, and if every man knows what's good for him.. he should want to look like Don Draper as well!<br /><br />I came across this fa-byew-lossss vintage mens tuxedo while we were back in Illinois in December and was bummed to find out it was not going to fit my man.<br /><br />Lucky for some guy, it's up for sale on my Etsy site: <a href="http://www.dingalingvintage.com">www.dingalingvintage.com</a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XpikpRCkgzQ/TyGg1KUDmpI/AAAAAAAABx0/koBzzfZgbQ0/s1600/IMG_0731.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XpikpRCkgzQ/TyGg1KUDmpI/AAAAAAAABx0/koBzzfZgbQ0/s320/IMG_0731.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5702015438389746322" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GO83X1C64Wc/TyGg0mhm0ZI/AAAAAAAABxo/QZc9yheZx5U/s1600/IMG_0726.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GO83X1C64Wc/TyGg0mhm0ZI/AAAAAAAABxo/QZc9yheZx5U/s320/IMG_0726.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5702015428782903698" /></a><br /><br />Also for sale:<br /><br />"Oh Yeah" 1970s Mens Vintage Brown Tuxedo<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qgatNKKtU_g/TyGhIqfH_EI/AAAAAAAAByM/z5d6KlVqCs0/s1600/IMG_0736.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qgatNKKtU_g/TyGhIqfH_EI/AAAAAAAAByM/z5d6KlVqCs0/s320/IMG_0736.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5702015773443619906" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-C3PUo07NUX0/TyGhIGSq1-I/AAAAAAAAByA/5gvkFu_OCSA/s1600/IMG_0737.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-C3PUo07NUX0/TyGhIGSq1-I/AAAAAAAAByA/5gvkFu_OCSA/s320/IMG_0737.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5702015763727701986" /></a>Dingaling Vintagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02235287910952806533noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-263545089018908749.post-87777946773071058442012-01-18T13:25:00.000-08:002012-01-18T13:35:26.823-08:00Insert Cliché about life hereSeems impossible when you are in the thick of disappointment to understand that God's plans for your life are bigger and brighter than the teeny tiny expanse of knowledge and creativity you are able to comprehend. <br /><br />i know, i know. i've been told that one millllllllllllion times. but you CAN'T be TOLD. you have to live it before you can hear it.<br /><br />Last night I sat in on a "Missio Dei" small group. As I listened to my husband talk about the amazing gifts of friendship, community and finances we've been given over the past four years, my pissed off-hurt-rejected little heart began to swell with gratitude and love and wonder. and I felt silly at how blind I've been to the amazing lives we have been given.Dingaling Vintagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02235287910952806533noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-263545089018908749.post-82660776394372881342012-01-17T16:31:00.000-08:002012-01-17T16:43:18.647-08:00Restoration HardwareLately I've been trying to hone a more masculine style (so my husband can appreciate the aesthetic of our home too!) and remove myself from the gobs and gobs of color that I'm drawn to. I am in the midst of reforming our bedroom and totally stuck.. so I decided to venture out to find some visual inspiration. <br /><br />My first thought was "Anthropologie" -that store can usually do no wrong.. but lately I've been extremely underwhelmed. So I ventured down the mall way a bit further and found myself in Restoration Hardware.<br /><br />I was absolutely inspired and amazed! I've been in there since the "reformation"... but I fell in love with the store all over again when I came upon the wwii "bomber" inspired furniture.<br /><br />They have designed some amazing pieces that I'm sure would make Rosie the Riveter proud!!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oqEzd-umA3w/TxYVbcRV4xI/AAAAAAAABxQ/SB1VDJYRtLc/s1600/Blackhawk-Large-Coffee-Table-1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 310px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oqEzd-umA3w/TxYVbcRV4xI/AAAAAAAABxQ/SB1VDJYRtLc/s320/Blackhawk-Large-Coffee-Table-1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5698765939673522962" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_-_MVjaVcMw/TxYVbM60FiI/AAAAAAAABxE/IekoymAjQ8Q/s1600/Blackhawk-Large-Coffee-Table-3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 276px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_-_MVjaVcMw/TxYVbM60FiI/AAAAAAAABxE/IekoymAjQ8Q/s320/Blackhawk-Large-Coffee-Table-3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5698765935552501282" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1f4v9H6ZtmU/TxYVa_g8bRI/AAAAAAAABw4/Fg-xZmDi-lA/s1600/prod60107_F11.jpeg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 312px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1f4v9H6ZtmU/TxYVa_g8bRI/AAAAAAAABw4/Fg-xZmDi-lA/s320/prod60107_F11.jpeg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5698765931954334994" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7wqQvbZayOU/TxYVakJ-A0I/AAAAAAAABws/xv8H1D1-Fb8/s1600/prod580026.jpeg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 312px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7wqQvbZayOU/TxYVakJ-A0I/AAAAAAAABws/xv8H1D1-Fb8/s320/prod580026.jpeg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5698765924610212674" /></a><br /><br /><br />I will take one of each of the chairs on <a href="http://www.restorationhardware.com/catalog/category/products.jsp?categoryId=cat1701068">THIS</a> page please!Dingaling Vintagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02235287910952806533noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-263545089018908749.post-85409832879772259942012-01-11T10:40:00.001-08:002012-01-11T10:52:57.228-08:00Vintage Suitcase Coffee Table #7I finished my latest coffee table last night while B and I were watching Friday Night Lights. Who would have thought I could love a show about football SO much!? <br /><br />Did a fun little shoot today and it revealed the fact that I might not be able to bring myself to sell this table. I really love it. Its super sturdy, timeless and very masculine. Masculine was what I was going for when I decorated our living room. Our last place was extremely yellow (and pink and red and blue and green and orange) I called our motif: "bubble gum machine". I'm pretty sure Brian hated it, so my vision for our new place was to make it modern and masculine with just a bit of my kitschy collectibles. <br /><br />Without further adieu: <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZB4uZ_SbhFI/Tw3Y7hkbNwI/AAAAAAAABvw/mMeqSVbNyec/s1600/IMG_9529.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZB4uZ_SbhFI/Tw3Y7hkbNwI/AAAAAAAABvw/mMeqSVbNyec/s320/IMG_9529.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5696447620828575490" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GwfN0vji1Ds/Tw3ZDLOZmwI/AAAAAAAABwg/DdqmHpGWzTg/s1600/IMG_9495.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GwfN0vji1Ds/Tw3ZDLOZmwI/AAAAAAAABwg/DdqmHpGWzTg/s320/IMG_9495.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5696447752269568770" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-owF6WVf-Esw/Tw3Y7ecOQQI/AAAAAAAABvk/diTzOMuWMiI/s1600/IMG_9543.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-owF6WVf-Esw/Tw3Y7ecOQQI/AAAAAAAABvk/diTzOMuWMiI/s320/IMG_9543.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5696447619988865282" /></a><br /><br />The ol' brute may or may not be up on Etsy soon... ;)Dingaling Vintagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02235287910952806533noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-263545089018908749.post-41710487176419060492012-01-11T08:41:00.000-08:002012-01-11T08:44:55.060-08:00Whats a girl to doWhat should I do with these??

She's a very talented <a href="http://www.jessicasonner.com/">musician</a> and was asked to play a show at U of W. We usually spend our time together hanging out doing things like eating frozen yogurt or picking up free stuff on the side of the road, so this was a fun experience. During the set Jess announced that we were looking to stop at a few thrift shops and with a tip of his hat, a nice little man informed us of a few places we might be interested in. <br /><br />All in all it was a great day spent with a great friend, and the cherry on top:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3gF7fsnWSK4/TgfWGzv59II/AAAAAAAABpA/JgtxjnOW04U/s1600/IMG_6346.jpg"><img style="display:block;

So eventful (and crazy fun) that I have completely forgotten about my obligation to earn a living! I've budgeted fifteen minutes for blogging, then I'm going to attack my <a href="http://www.dingalingvintage.com">Etsy site </a>like a crazy woman.<br /><br />Here we go:<br /><br />Oliver and I have fallen into a bit of a routine/obsession in the mornings. We walk to the bakery and get a churro and a diet coke (i know, i know ..it always seems like a great idea..) We see many interesting wonderful things on this short walk. Its always a great reminder that no matter how late we are kept up by the next door neighbors partying, or how early we have to wake up to shut the windows because someone is up smoking pot and coughing, this neighborhood always justifies itself in the morning. We see adorable teeny tiny kids that look like miniature adults, smell wonderful smells (like the cream filling that goes into the churro's boiling on the stove) and wonderful gas, from lawn mowers that are cutting grass. We see all kinds of people taking advantage (and rightly so) of the new gorgeous track that the high school just installed, and kids taking advantage (again, rightly so) of the new sprinkler system that also got installed. A cute little lady on a scooter (who must work at a nearby bakery, because she scooted up wearing her apron) quickly stopping off at the garden project on the corner to give it a quick drink. <br /><br />These are things I have to see. Things I look for. This past winter was three years in this place, and while I'm fond of it.. I've got the itch. We're not giving up on Denver, it's just.. you know-?<br /><br />Anyway, now on to the good stuff. Emily came out to visit this week and we did a LOT of chillin' and eating. Two things we do best. We frequented the corner pizza shop for .10 cent pizza happy hour. Thats right. .10/slice for pizza that is usually $18 for one pizza (8 slices). <br /><br />On the last day <a href="http://www.shannacutshair.com">Shaunna</a> gave Emily the best bee-hive hair doo EVER.
