Rotary Phones

 

If you know me, it would be no surprise that I'm a huge fan of vintage items. Not the least of which are rotary phones. Today, I'm celebrating my love of rotary phones because my new one came in the mail from Lithuania. I bought it from Etsy.com a couple weeks ago. Tonight, I welcomed the new phone into my home.



 

 

Isn't she gorgeous? The question may be, "why love rotary phones?" It's true, they are more time consuming to dial. Yes, you can't tell who's calling when the phone rings. However, there are so many more wonderful features.

One, they are beautiful. Who could honestly say that the phone above is not akin to a work of art? The strong geometric shape mixed with the soft colors are exquisite. Two, the sound of the phone. When this phone rings, it sounds like a phone. Though many may not appreciate the "bring, bring" of the phone, I love it. I'm so sick of hearing chirps, bells, and rap music coming out of people's phones. To have something be what it is, well, the honesty of it makes me love it.

Yay for my new phone. Plus, I laughed like a little girl when I called it from my cell phone and heard it ring. An item you purchase that makes you that giddy, to me, is worth it!

Dark Brown Hair with Red Undertones aka the Color

I have a new hair color and I LOVE it. The color is dark brown hair with red undertones hence forth know as 'the Color.' Who knows how long the Color will be around to stay, but isn't that always how the things we love in life go. They come they go. So we appreciate them while we can. Today I'm greatful for this demi permanent color and a patient and talented hair stylist.

My hair was a medium blonde yesterday. The product of years of skilled highlighting. I still liked the blonde, but it was time for a change. Shania, my wonderful stylist filled the blonde. This left me with orange highlights. She then colored it with an auburn. After washing the auburn out we  colored it again with a natural dark brown. The final product was:

My Moisturizer

Ole Henriksen's "Truth Serum: Collagen Booster"  is a product I absolutely love. (This is probably why it gets first review on my new blog about things I love.)

Every night after I wash the day off my face, I apply one sizable pump of "Truth" to my face. The product goes on like a mixture between a lotion and a gel. and quickly dries into the skin. After the serum has dried your skin, it feels firmer and has a great glow. One of my favorite things about it is the light citrus, tea smell -- very soothing.

I say Yay for Ole.

I used to have a blog about my life in South Carolina, but for a number of reasons that didn't work out. However, when I think back there are so many things I loved about that time of my life.  Since life is continually changing, I thought I'd celebrate change. Therefore, I cataloging things I love! I'm anticipating it will usually be products but who knows.


Today, in honor of my previous blog, I'm celebrating Charleston, South Carolina: palm trees, succulent seafood, past mixed with present, and beautiful people.
