Miss Bella Hell...really nice ring!

Audrey...that dress is cute as hell!

Shutterbug...your comb is so pretty. I love feminine details, little luxuries. How nice that your sweetheart gifted you!

Inky...I adore that hat! Does Mr. Inky have a twin brother? (C'ommon girls, we were all thinking it. ) You are going to have to research this Pepi person and tell us all about them. Whoever comes up with a pink/red fur hat must be a pistol and a half!

A vision of sweetness! <3

I bought this dress locally and wore it yesterday for Valentine's Day.

Audrey, you look so cute! I can never pull of wearing my saddle shoes with dresses.

 

[Audrey Horne]

Thanks ladies! Your comments are so sweet

Cici: Give the saddle shoes a try, the look took me a while to get used to!

As I titled my blog post, "I'm a sucker for an orphan", which includes tattered, frayed old quilts with holes. Saw this a week ago at the thrift and proudly walked away, but when it was still there today, and reduced to $7.50, I weakened and brought it home. It can't be saved as a quilt, but the fabrics are just so darling I couldn't leave it behind.
I don't know eras like some of you, but I reckon it's old enough. Look at all the tropical, Hawaiian themed prints!

FABULOUS!

I am a sucker for any sad bit of cloth! Especially colourful ones. I have a 30's 40's crazy quilt child's robe. They are excellent for "study".

That Hawaiian print is probably 40's, or early 50's. The red and blue fish bit is neat too!

You're the sweetest, 23Skidoo! I showed your comment to the Mister today and he just blushed. I'm a lucky gal indeed!

Sadly, even my notorious google-fu tactics have not surfaced any information about Pepi and his hats. I did find a cute gold bolero on eBay with a "Pepi of California" label, could be the same designer perhaps?

Was thinking about buying this dress for the last few days so finally took the plunge and went for it!

Sadly, the Faryl Robins with the teal heel that I ordered don't fit - they're like a whole size too big. Don't know if they got put in the wrong box or what, since the size isn't marked at all on the shoes. Makes me so sad :-(

But oh well, I'll return them and got these instead!

I hope to goodness they fit!

I guess we're all on a RED kick!

I just bought myself a birthday dress to wear to see Max Raabe in.

KittyT I like these much more! WOW! Are they vintage 50s? They're so swoon-worthy...

Hahahaha! Too cute, LD.

They're vintage, got them on Etsy. It's funny, I originally came across the Faryls while looking for red shoes, since I don't have a pair of red heels and it's one of the accessory colors I wear the most!

There was a pair of red Remix babydolls that went for $35 yesterday on Ebay, and I almost got those, but figured these were better.

I found these 40's (?) or 30's shoes for my girlfriend.

Sometimes you just find things.. somebody really wanted to get rid of these since they were really cheap
