Just a blog about the things i love, all things kitsch! If it's tacky, ugly, campy, cutesy, quirky or wonderful, you'll find it here. You'll also find some vintage and retro things as well.

Made by Moda, they have such gorgeous vintage style and would be a great gift for any little girl or boy. Thanks must go to my daughter who gave me a lovely example of how to use her set of cards as seen above.
