WAFFLES!!!! If you love Waffles...
5:06 PM PST, 4/10/2011
Stop by and grab a wafflemaker! We've got some very cool old vintage Art Deco Wafflemakers, and some newer Vintage WaffleMakers, and more on their way! All Made in the USA - with lasting build quality that you don't get anymore with foreign made small appliances. We love the Wafflemaker/Grill/Griddle combos - you can crank out waffles, or flip the grid over, and you have a rocking Panini press that will make the best grilled cheese ever.. open the grill flat, and voila, you have enough griddle space for a pile of pancakes, an extravaganza of eggs, or a slew o' sausages! Along with your wafflemaker, grab one of our awesome vintage percolators - use some of today's great fresh roasted and ground coffee in them, and you'll swoon with how good perked coffee is - I was a drip gal til I tried a vintage percolator, and now I'm percolator crazy! We have great Farberware superfast coffeemakers, West Bend - killer Mid Century Modern Urn - and an 8 cup perc.. and perfect with our vintage GE Waffle Iron / Grill / Griddle - a gorgeous Vintage GE 8 cup perc. Check 'em out! -
Classic Coach Handbags
12:21 AM PST, 4/6/2011
Just added some more classic original Coach handbags, some from the Cashin era! We love vintage Coach - Made in the USA - the quality and craftsmanship -- in my opinion -- is better than the current Coach offerings, most of which are made offshore. Favorites are an 80s era Charcoal Gray Saddle type bag, a classic Coach shape, and it is in excellent condition - could pass for new (and what does that tell you about the quality of that vintage made in the United States Coach glove tanned leather?) We also love a fab RARE Coach 9058 Vintage Hobo in Black with Nickel hardware and a long Crossbody strap. Coach later went to shorter strap lengths on this model of bag, but we love the cross body for its versatility - and it's perfect for the urban commuter gal (or guy :) that walks, bikes, scooters or skates to work! This version with the long strap and silver nickel hardware is perfect if you like to rock a bit of a biker or rocker look - the big silver YKK zip top is super hot with the black glove leather. This bag is in good vintage condition, soft, with nice patina and some minor wear at the base, but it still is gorgeous - in fact that all just adds to that rich old hippe biker look -- and it is priced to sell - these bags originally retailed for $375 and up - vintage pricing means a great bargain on a real Coach classic bag! -
