Thought I'd post some of mine that are currently clean.
Poodles!
Olde timey cars and gold rickrack!
Light blue swiss dot hostess apron!
Modern one from Anthropologie. Lemons!
Strawberries and jam!
Oh yes, always! I have a few full length ones and a ton of half-aprons. My favorite is a vintage blue gingham half apron with poodles, and a terry cloth towel attached for wiping hands!
Vintage I rescued from the trash heap at the prop house I was working for:
Ballerinas! Rhinestones!
This has a matching jacket. It's a very small beige and white stripe.
This is a bit too short, but fun when I am in the mood for short. I belt it with a red cinch belt.
Yeah. The springs are fine, and I got lots of stuff for almost nothing. It's not in bad shape physically, but cosmetically it is. I figure getting it reupholstered will cost around $400. In the meantime I'll live with it as-is, unless I can do it more cheaply.
I have a love for all things mid-century when it comes to furniture. Heywood Wakefield, aqua, chartreuse, fiberglass lampshades, and all that kitschy delight.
I was lucky enough to buy an apartment-ful of this type of stuff for about $75. Some of it is in very bad condition, in particular...
I decided I hated those Target wedges I posted earlier in this thread (they hit right at the ankle, making one's ankles look wide, and who wants that?), so I returned them. Then I went to Payless and bought these:
For work/suits; and these:
For stomping about.
Not sure if you ladies will like these, but I was going to shell out $80 for a nude high wedge until I saw these in Target for $15.
VERY comfy! And vegan. ;)
Yeah I looked at that! Apparently I'm a DDDD/G which is completely frightening. But I'm wearing the bra now, and it's both super supportive and really pretty. It's this bra: http://www.herroom.com/Freya-4011-Mischa-Plunge-Balcony-Underwire-Bra.shtml Got it for $30 at Nordstrom Rack.
Large busted ladies: thoughts on Freya bras? Is the sizing accurate? I just bought on in 34F and it fits amazingly. LIKE A DREAM! I always thought I was a 34DD. Am I one of those women who has been wearing the wrong bra size forever?
Awesome lamp thingy, 60's I suspect.

Great Desk Lamp...
Ok, so now that I've been listing for 20th Century Props for several weeks, the prices have gone way down. I thought I'd list some of my favorites here.
