Having my Cake and Eating It

Today is an okay day,I finally got my dream dream glasses. The glasses that came with the set are only fit for the bin. I can't blame the seller as I never asked about the condition but luckily I bought another pair last month and it fits.

The Perfect Pair

It not copying if you think its supercool. I finally scored a silvertone version of the 1955 AO Flame it has no additional flamette but the signs are good its the same size as the one I already have. Heres a picture of me wearing A O Perfect mate, I have Mary Van Notes blog to blame for my new obsession. And time is not on my side, I have plans for a new life in the Autumn and reduced pay, so vintage buying will become a luxury, well unless its furniture for the flat.

In Search of a Perfect Pair

It seems I have become obsessed with attaining 1955 American Optical Flame glasses. The lovely set I recently accquired are a little too small. But lucky would have it, etsy and eBay have a few pairs and a set is available on eBay right now! I was able to score a larger pair that, also came with interchangeable flamettes. And I also found a pair of Perfect Mate glasses minus other trims, but dont fret I shall keep up the good work. Meet my new pair. I now have 3 pairs of vintage American Optical,now what are the chances of getting them in silvertone?

American Optical Flame get it here

I feel this is going to be a very expensive vintage month. I managed to find another American optical pair of glasses with more spec trims. Lucky me, unlucky bank balance. And now another has appeared on etsy visit the link below to get in on the spec love http://www.etsy.com/listing/125754336/american-optical-1940s

Holy Grail

I have been collecting vintage for 11 years, in the early days I collected good quality vintage clothing for birthday, Christmas and accessories that tickled my fancy. But now I have gone back to my News Years resolution of 2010,I must get some cool vintage frames.
