Oh, Nostalgia! Review and Giveaway

Oh, Nostalgia! has beautiful  vintage inspired jewelry.

This is a lovely Etsy shop with many wonderful handmade jewelry items.  As an added bonus, if you just can't find the perfect piece, custom orders are an option!

The earrings that I received to review are the Light Purple Flower Earrings.  

The backs are lever backs, which are cute and comfy to wear.  I wore them all day immediately after receiving them and forgot that I had them on!  They are nickle-free, so if your ears are sensitive to nickle you can wear these pretty earrings without worry.

The beautiful light purple flower is topped with feminine filigree that matches the lever backs.  In the above picture you can see how the flowers hang downwards, which I think is a lovely effect.  The below picture is looking up at the earrings.

While these earrings are not large they also are not so small that they will disappear into your hair.  Total length is about one inch.

These earrings would work great for everyday use, paired with jeans and sweater for the winter, or could even work for a dressier event with a dress or a skirt.  I foresee these earrings becoming a staple accessory.

The shop owner, Paige, has generously offered a 

shop credit of $20 to one lucky reader!

 I received one pair of earrings to review from Oh, Nostalgia! All opinions are my own.  

Little People

Troll dolls. Pogs. Pound puppies. My First Sony. Some of the "coolest" toys from my childhood that my daughter probably won't understand. Well, maybe the puppies. Then there are the toys that I can't wait to share with her: my Little People doll house, my Little Tykes kitchen, and maybe even my American Girl doll Samantha (we'll see about that one though!).

I wonder what she will think of these things . . .

Little People have changed a bit since I was a kid. I had this house:

The furniture combination that I had was a little bit different, but very close. I loved the working doorbell, the garage door that went up and down, and the detail inside and out. I remember playing with it for hours! I also had the Little People Airport, Airplane, and Playground. They were awesome! The Little Family went on many adventures.

My daughter recently received the Little People Noah's Ark for her birthday and this past Christmas she received the Little People Nativity Set. These have a slightly different look than the Little People of my childhood. Already at 13 months she spends a lot of time with these toys, I can only imagine that as she gets older she will continue to enjoy her Little People as much as I enjoyed mine--and maybe she will be able to enjoy mine as well.

(So, who out there thought the title was going to be referring to short people?

Also, I need to figure out how to make the pictures a little more uniform in size.)
