Retro Heaven

On Sunday we managed to drag ourselves out of bed before noon and rush off the the flea market at the Croatian Cultural Centre. It is one of the best flea markets, with a lot of bargains. Here is some of the stuff we bought.

My Mom and I bought this art deco looking bag together, I guess that means I have to share.

I love the vintage Pyrex bowls but they are generally overpriced in Vancouver.

We got three of these chairs for 25 dollars!

This is part of the coffee table set we bought for 20 dollars, there is a big coffee table and an end table.

A sugar dispenser.

A beautiful tray.

Another serving dish.

I bought a few vintage Playboy magazines.



This is definitely my favourite cover.

I want those glasses!

and the photoshoots in the magazine are amazing. I have only included the “inoffensive” images, but even the nudes look great. Note the lack of surgically-enhanced bodies.





This was one of the centerfolds.


Another gorgeous centerfold.

This is a little project some friends and I have been working on, you can get them on Nazreens Designs stall at Portobello West this weekend. I think the follow up should be YSL’s Opium, Jean Paul Gaultier’s Classique Perfume, and Marc Jacob’s Daisy, but we are open to ideas!

The candle is made with real designer perfume.
