A Few of Our Favorite (Vintage) Things

Faux fur and fabulous, Katrina in an Ocean Heir find

Lovely Katrina looking fabulous in one of our great vintage coats.  This one went home with Katrina, but we have plenty more estate finds to share and here are a few of our current favorites:

Our current Cinderella item. . . Many will try, but only one will it fit.  These fantastic, petite little boots are it now.  Want to be the queen of the ball?  Drop   by and give these a try.

The Heiress-in-Chief brought home theses charming children's books from her last picking trip.  We love the sweet illustrations and the colorful lithography.

We have vintage bags by the cartload.  Whether you are hoping to find a classic black clutch, or super glam rockin' tote, there's  something for everyone.

Very sleek and Seventies, this ironwood shark is perfect for any retro beach house.

Father's Day, June 21, 2015

 

Okay, so you might think that  Ocean Heir is too girly to have great Father's Day gifts.  You would be so wrong.  There is plenty here to tickle the Dad's fancy,  starting with a terrific selection of unique and letterpress cards:

We also have tons of Dad-friendly books on subjects ranging from natural history and philosophy to bar guides and car culture.  If Dad is a reader there is something here to interest him:

What about a t-shirt?  True, men's clothing is not really our specialty, but we do have the wine drinker and VW bug t-shirts, and where else are you going to find that great Kraken t-shirt?

There's also tons of miscellany:  paperweights, bottle openers, matches, drinking flasks, to name just a few things. 

And let's not forget our collection of vintage and consignment items.  How about a selection of classic vinyl LP's, maybe that fabulous cocktail set, something from our collection of 60's camping gear, or perhaps some swinging 70's wall art for the man cave?  

Whatever gift you choose, all the Heiresses would like to wish all the Father's out there the best day ever!
