The Daily Swank: What Provokes Your Childhood Memories?
Today's Daily Swank are some items that really made me remember my childhood. Both of my grandmothers and my great aunt were the inspiration behind today's finds.
I was happy to find this set. My great aunt used to have the rouge and powder box on her dresser. She used to let me "paint" her face and pretend we were in a beauty salon. I cherish those memories.
The above is a rare Coty vanity set from Vintageandantiques12
What about you? Do you have any vintage treasures in mind that provoke delightful childhood memories?

Jewelers like Green Karat offer rings made from high quality, recycled metals. In addition, nonprofits such as Global Witness have developed consumer questions you can ask that will help you feel good about your diamond purchases. - See the full article about ways to go green on your wedding day here.
