We hosted a dessert only dinner for a few local businesses and bloggers a few weeks ago. It was a gorgeous event complete with vintage tableware, homemade marshmallows and so many delicious treats. We had so much fun setting it up and visiting with everyone – we can’t wait to do it again. This event inspired me to put together a few of my awesome vintage kitchen and barware essentials. You can see them all below, but most are only available in-store. So if you are interested in any item, please come visit our store located at 2511 W. North Avenue and open from 12pm-7pm Wednesday-Sunday. OR you can send me an email at kim@strangelovely.com.
