I’d Like to Thank the Academy – Vintage Loving Cups

May 16, 2012  Cool Collections | Uncategorized

And the winner is …

Vintage loving cups - see this beautiful collection kellyelko.com

Will I win?

Will I trip on my way to the stage?

Will I have a trail of tp stuck to my shoe as I wave to my adoring fans?

What am I doing, you ask.

I’m in a pageant – and I’d love you to join me.

It’s for all of us gals (and the occasional guy who drops by) who deserve recognition for all of our fabulousness!

So go ahead and strut your stuff on the catwalk, break out your little (virtual) red bikini, twirl a baton or belt out a tune in the talent category.

Because I am awarding all of you who stop by and read my ramblings the

All That and a Bag of Chips award.

You see, if we don’t believe we are fabulous, who will?

So grasp that trophy by both handles,

raise it high over your head and

start your acceptance speech.

Special thanks for my fabulous vintage trophy collection goes to Sara of Simplify by Sara

I spotted these beauties on her blog and begged and groveled (ok, just asked) her to sell them to me.

Sara, please take a bow because you just won the

All That and a Big Bag of Barbecue Chips award!

 

Now if you’ll excuse me, I need my beauty rest if I’m going to keep

The Money Maker in tip top condition!

    Awesome! You deserve a trophy for all the cool things you do. What’s a single single though??? Or is that not what the trophy has printed on it?? I love the tarnished metal, it looks so ancient!

    Have a great day!

      I was trying to figure out what a single single was myself! It’s a yacht club trophy – does that give any clues? Oh well, it’s cool anyway!!

    How did you know my talent was shuffle board in a red bikini? You are too funny! And I’m thinking that your “Impossibilities” challenge for 2013 may be cleaning out the basement … oh, wait, that was 2012!

    I like the chips, but I LOVE the trophies! Remember, I am looking for some JUST like that for my kitchen? I would buy them from you at a mark-up even!! C’mon, you could make a tidy little profit here! 😉 I know I’m the budget design girl, but I know splurge-worthy when I see it!!

    Seriously AMAZING trophies!! What an awesome collection!

    -And, um, I won’t be doing anything in a little red bikini without some kind of juice fast, and fat melting herbal spa wraps, followed by weeks and weeks of torture from the most chiseled, handsome personal trainer at the gym. (Whom I’ve gaze at from afar all starry eyed but have never spoken too, and after weeks of his relentless training methods, I will grow to LOATHE as he tries to get this 45 year old body bikini ready. Have I thought about this too much?) Maybe I should just do the baton thing…

    Have a great day! 🙂

      Gotta let me live with my finds before I can consider parting with them – but you never know!! Yes, I do think you’ve given way too much thought to your fantasy personal trainer – but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to train right along side you!
      Thanks for making me laugh!!

    I would like to thank my family for looking the other way and not saying a word when I bring home, yet one more piece of junk to “redoux”. I would like to thank all the people who cast off their unloved stuff and leave it for me. I would like to thank my car for not minding that there is no way it will be anywhere near parking in the garage this summer because my garage is so full of other people’s junk. And most of all, I would like to thank you for this fabulous post. I have a congratulatory golf cup to someone named Roger that I proudly display as part of my “junk” silver collection. I love old trophies too.

      Feeling the love! We need a real awards ceremony – with gowns, a red carpet, 10 lb. gold trophies … That would be a great departure from our cluttered junk filled garages and paint splattered clothes!
