World Globe Bank

Here are my vintage collection of globes and world globe banks. It’s interesting to see how the geography of the world was when these globes were made.  Germany was still divided into east and west, Korea was one nation, and Africa was still ruled by France.

It’s still a mystery when the globe was made but from the geographic information, it’s most likely made before 1960.

Weekend Post : Polka Dot Tumbler

dot_tumbler

Polka dots are always my favorite patterns. These are vintage tumblers I found at a flea market. I simply just love the way the colorful dots are printed around the tumblers. Somehow it just feels very nostalgic.

calThey also remind me of the package of this classic Japanese uncarbonated soft drink. I used to drink this when I was a kid.

Curious Cat & Case Study Planter

Being a huge fan of Modernica, I was excited about their annual sale this past July. At the sale, I was specifically looking for this Case Study Ceramic Cylinder Planter. As soon as I entered the huge warehouse, I ran straight to it! The wooden support legs makes this simple planter a lot more playful. It’s a great accent in the dead corner of my living room.

It’s originally $149.00 but I got it for half price at $75. It was a great deal and suited my place perfectly. I can’t wait for their next sale. The planter comes in two sizes and two colors. You can also take a look at all the craze here : Youtube
