barbie's 1998—2001 "generation girl" was short lived but nonetheless a line i always loved & cherished. a great storyline of a diverse nyc high school friend group, with great fashion + great room for individual personalization. they really felt like actual teenagers, and their rooms felt real! 🩵

thinking about sharon tate's 1967 ring that was sold for $21,260 without the family's approval 🥲 what is it up to now a days and in whose house is it lying around? however, contrary to popular opinions, this was NOT an engagement ring and she did NOT wear it at the time of her tragic murder. ❤️‍🩹

this post reminded me of my own dearly loved teapot, mr. hippo <3 i don't know how old he is exactly, but at least 15-20 years by now!!

This thread is so good!

i ❤️ this mildly aggressive but unbelievably cute vintage goose teapot of unknown origins

I bought this authentic vintage soviet raketa watch (found an insane deal) and its origin seems to be a something of a mystery people on reddit have tried and failed to dig into its origins. I might make a video about it

i cannot ID these rings but 😻😻😻
