Fun Tennis Items


The name of this nail polish is "Tennis Anyone" by Orly. I love tennis and I love the color of this polish. it is sorta an off white-cream-light pink color. So neutral.



These tennis paper clips are so cute. They are from the paperclips.cn website. Just type tennis in the search bar and it will take you to the tennis paper clips.

If I Played The Finals of Wimbledon



If I was going to even step on to the grass courts of Wimbledon I would want to wear this Stella McCartney dress for Adidas. I love the ruffle! This dress was available at couture.zappos.com - but it is currently sold out. I am going to keep checking back. They also sell the Stella tennis line at select Nordstrom department stores.
I would also carry this Hermes tennis bag. The white is so impractical yet so chic. And so Wimbledon.

More Vintage Tennis Racquets Ideas

Love Tennis! (See Photo Below!)


This vintage racquet is so cute! For directions on how to make this heart go onto bkids.typepad.com .



I do not have a source for the above photo. However, doesn't the vintage racquet look so chic rested against the wall over the fireplace? 

Hmmm...I wonder how long it will take for my current racquet to look vintage?

Tennis Wallpaper


Isn't this tennis wallpaper adorable? I love it with the black accents. Although it would also be cute with yellow accents. You don't need to use wallpaper on the wall. You could use wallpaper to decorate a lampshade or serving tray. Be creative!


This British wallpaper is from the my deco boutique painting & decorating shop. The wallpaper has a pattern repeat of 7.1 cm and is 70.50 pounds a roll. (I told you it was a British company!).

I think this wallpaper would be perfect for an accent wall. It is designed for the sporty and design conscious decorator.

Wimbledon Dresses


If I was going to attend Wimbledon ( perhaps next year?) I would consider wearing Kate's Alice Temperley "Moriah" dress! I love the layers! To find out more about Kate at Wimbledon and her dress go on the ukate.net website. Side note: Doesn't Billie Jean King have a funny facial expression?



This "tennis" dress - that is what they call it on the us.asos.com website, would also be a perfect dress to wear to Wimbledon. It is a Jaeger silk tennis dress that retails for $448.21.

Unique Tennis Stuff

I found this bottle opener on the waitwhatwhere.tumbler.com  website. They are made from vintage wooden tennis racquets. But remember - don't drink and play tennis! This would be a great gift for the tennis aficionado in your life.

I found these Oakley glasses on the worldsbestever.com website. The frame is made entirely of tennis ball fuzz. This eyeshade was established in 1984 and was resurrected for the history of Oakley by Staple Design. The tennis ball fuzz was electro-statically adhered to the plastic frame. Love it!

Oakley started as a company dedicated to the athletic endeavors and 35 years later they are still producing glasses for all types of athletes.

Another Use for Vintage Racquet


Isn't this another fun use for a vintage wooden racquet? It was posted on the pink + blue blog. Now I am going to google nearby thrift stores to search for vintage racquets! Wish me luck!

Vintage Tennis Racquet Mirrors


These vintage tennis racquet mirrors are so cute! They were on the fffound website. I bet you could find some old racquets at a thrift store or the Salvation Army. Then you could clean them up and take them to a glass/mirror shop to have the mirror cut. It would be a fun and inexpensive project for any tennis lover!
