Oh WoW Klara, I love your boots and peep toes! Those are sooooo lovely! God cursed me with huge feet so I can't wear any vintage shoes. At least I've never seen any nice ones in a 10 yet.

My flippers and I feel your pain. I've never seen a pre-50s shoe bigger than an 8. I'm sure they're out there, I just can't find any!

Love those boots and the heels. I need more shoes.

Thank you so much. I really don't need more shoes, got a pretty good collection, but I guess you can't have to many lol

Thanks. That's so sweet of you to say. That's to bad, but don't give up, they will show up someday

I found each pair for $3-4! The ones on the outside are much later than 50s but I still really like them.

Got some stuff at an old costume shop that's going out of business here. ClubWitsEnd told me I needed to go and who am I to argue? Here are my finds:

Cute 40's/50's shoes (I have big feet, US 9.5, so these are quite a find)

Um, 40's platforms!! See above comment about having big feet...

Purses
Lucite

Telephone Cord

Fun winter skirt. Italian wool with gold shimmer.

The exact gold lurex dress I've been searching for for ages... (and at $30, the most expensive thing I bought here.)

And my "free gift with purchase"! lol

 

[Miss Golightly]

That's quite the haul you've got there Miss Bella Hell! I love the gold lurex dress - it will be stunning on you. The free gift is very sweet too.

Better than powertools!

I've been looking for a birthday present for my husband. He's really hard to buy for! I'm really excitied because I think I have found something he will love! Phillips' grandmother was Jean Desses cousin (for those who haven't heard of him here are a few links to some of his designs http://www.vam.ac.uk/vastatic/microsites/1486_couture/exhibHighDessesChiffon.php http://www.vam.ac.uk/vastatic/microsites/photography/images/photograph/large/im00131.jpg )

I have just bought a christmas card (circa 1950's) signed by Desses & the design on the front is by Rene Gruau.

I thought I'd post some of my car boot booty from Sunday. The accordeon is from the turn of the last century bought for £5.00, and a Cresta (Fridor) sewing machine bought for the pricely sum of £1.00! I love the style of this machine very streamline and it works, loads of different feet for hemming, ruffling and darning. I'm a sucker for a sewing machine, I have about 7 at the last count.

 

[texasgirl]

Great sewing machine. We have a thread on those somewhere you can post it and your other 6 too


I bought this the other day, just a little brown crocheted handbag

 

[Inky]

Okay, so a few pages back I posted about a vintage skirt I had bought with a dancer border print, then I found some fabric with another hoe-down border print (which is going to turn into a skirt this weekend!)

and today, another find (thanks to Darla's Blog)

This one is GREAT - cowboys and bottles of liquor!! collection of wacky vintage border prints here I come!

I know! I even have a cute pair of jeans to tuck it into. (What exactly is a warehouse of dinettes, anyway? A furniture store?)
