France Gall - Cet air-là 1965



I can't get this song out of my head! I have no idea what she is saying but I really love the song and the video is so cute. I found out about France Gall accidently, it was being played on someone's Myspace page and I got hooked!

Music


I'm so into music from the 1950's, 1960's and 1970's. Listening to it just makes me happy! I found some great tunes on Myspace that I'd like to share...

First off is Cinedelic Records, an independent Italian label devoted to vinyl releases, publishing music never previously available on CD or LP, as well as new artists. They have some groovy artists and tunes on their website as well.

Then there's Luxophonic, another independent record label and another one of my favorites. They have a selection of bossa nova and lounge tunes, and other funky tunes.



I donatori d'organo is another myspace page with great music, I don't know much about the page because it's all in Italian, but the music is just awesome...



There are loads more out there on myspace! I found a bunch more just writing this post. Just look at different people's friends list and your bound to find more great songs. And please let me know if you have any more cool artists to share!

Etsy seller Petit Oiseau


Etsy seller Petit Oiseau

As seen in Etsy's Gift Guide - Bakelite items made from vintage Bakelite buckles from the 1940s and 1950s. All jewelry comes in a little gift box, perfect for giving. Or keeping...

Another satisfied customer!


Another one of my customers was nice enough to send me an image of her new nursery. I love the blue and green scheme! I'm not sure who made the other two prints, but they all look great together. The print she purchased was #P-2007-4.

The cutest pin cushion!


Etsy shop Pretty Little Things has the cutest pin cushion ever! The Prickly pear pin cushion would look great in a sewing room or even just sitting on a window sill.
