What do you do when you have a case of the Mondays? Mine. Cigarettes and metal.

I just want to get to know her
I think I'm in love. Beside the obvious; the long legs, flowing hair, and a butt that doesn't quit, I think she just gets me.
We started out just as friends, hanging out when I'd sneak down to the basement for a smoke, but something has changed.
I think I'm in love, I think she just gets me.

Meet Manly Vintage Face to Face
The two hot dudes from Manly Vintage will be pushing vintage goods this Saturday at the Heaven Gallery in Wicker Park...wait a minute...THAT'S US! Come on by and buy some antique razors, throw some high fives, and step outside with us for a smoke.
We're gonna be trying some crazy new ideas this time around, our first vintage market experience at the Vintage Bazaar was somewhat of a serious systems malfunction, so we're doing things different, LIKE HAVING PRICE TAGS! I'm also setting up at home beforehand so I don't have full boxes of crap underneath the tables, and I will eat breakfast and have coffee before I head out Saturday. Did I say crap? I meant recycled treasures. ha.
When: Sat July 3rd, noon-6 p.m.
Where: Heaven Gallery, 1550 N. Milwaukee Ave., b/t Damen Ave. & Honore St. Info online at vintageheavenchicago.blogspot.com.
What: Our booth will consist of mostly pre-1960s, barware, home decor, some depression glass, lamps, razors, and household items.

When the Ashtray was King
While I think nobody wishes for the uninformed, big tobacco, heyday of yester-year....that's actually a myth..but lets run with it anyway, we can all agree ashtrays for cigars and cigarettes before the anti-smoking craze oozed coolness. Take a look.
The first one is from my small personal collection, it is a Viking Art Glass Orb Ashtray. It is quite valuable and I scored it at an estate sale for $2. That is not for sale.
The rest are from etsy shops(ahem... one mine). If you are shopping for antique/vintage ashtrays, etsy is the place for you. Hundreds of ashtrays for a fraction of the price you might pay at a collectors site. For $100 you can have yourself a great start of a collection. Enjoy the hunt!!
