Two NOS 50s blouses!

 

[timorous me]

It's been a while since I've posted anything here... doesn't mean I haven't been busy buying, though!

Here are some of my favorites recently...

Super cute tuxedo details... including a cummerbund belt!

I'm pretty sure I'll never wear this... but it was so cute and such a steal!

Too small, but so adorable... this one's going in the "sell closet."

Now THIS may be the coolest thing ever. A lot of vintage menus from the 30's... many with hand-typed specials lists still inside!

GORGEOUS hat... I wore it to work the other day! (We were having a "costume week...")


Plus a lot of 5 vintage beaded orlon sweaters in awesome condition on the CHEAP!

These are for every day wear. I love the skirt. My grandaughter who is 9 is impressed with me wearing skirts and dresses lately instead of my shorts and pants. Just so much cooler in hot Texas weather. She asks me why I am not wearing a skirt if I am not. lol

Oh, be still my heart! Love all of these--gorgeous! That book is great too.

 

[Sunny]

I haven't bought anything in a long time; I got a little burned out. And I was making skirts. But I won this on Saturday and I'm so excited!

I made a vow to not buy a dress that was missing its belt. That means I can spend a little more on beauties that I really want! The embroidery is in back as well, and the pressed pleats are fantastic. This is going to be perfect, especially for church. I have to wear solid colors in the choir.

 

[GoldLeaf]

Sunny, I just adore that dress! Fabulous!

Klara, those shoes are amazing!

Yay ladies! I live vicariously though you!! I got a bunch of maternity clothes in the mail yesterday, does that count? lol

 

[Hepcatkitten]

What pretty things!!!!!

 

[Laughing Magpie]

Sunny - that dress is like a tall cool drink Very nice indeed!

My mink

I bought this glamorous coat for my birthday this weekend. I can't wait to wear it at QM!

I also bought a fabulous wiggle dress and an interesting bolero.

 

[Foofoogal]

Sunny, that is exactly the kind of dress I am always searching for. I have a big thing for embroidery.

Barbigirl. fftopic: Nice but I am more into your carnival glass. I still collect carnival glass as a dealer. Especially Northwood. Did you know that the older carnival they do not even know how to produce as it used salts and they have never been able to recreate the formula. It was originally the poor mans Tiffany. Sold by trainloads to carnivals after it went out of favor.

 

[CherryRed]

The store is Goody's. The brand is Unlisted. I think they sell them other places too.

 

[klara]

timorous me I love that yellow dress.
MaryDeluxe Thank you so much
ohairas That's exactly the reason I fell for them. 2 shoes in 1, it doesn't get any better than that.
imoldfashioned Thank you so much. I saw some pictures from the book here at the fedora lounge and they were fantastic.

Am I standing in front of it? You completely lost me on that one!

 

[Barbigirl]

I won this watch on the bay-it's made from antique typewriter keys!

That watch is spectacular! I have a bracelet that is made from random typewriter keys. It doesn't say anything.

 

[imoldfashioned]

Sunny,

I had the twin of that dress in high school, except it was yellow. I literally wore it to bits--one of my favorite dresses ever! Hope you love yours as much.

 

[Foofoogal]

Am I standing in front of it? You completely lost me on that one!

Oops. Sorry. I guess it is the shop you bought your coat at and yes you are standing in front of a bunch of carnival glass along with other goodies. I thought it was your home. I am notoriously bad about going in homes and immediately looking for the antiques. (turning over plates and things.) lol
Goes with my business.

I'm the same way when I watch an old movie, I look at the crystal.
Some wins from Miss Bella Hell:
sweater guards, sweater, Jacqueline dress and denim smock.

Also a 50s wrap dress not pictured.
