Ooooh, I also have a Cath Kidston dress I adore. Your's is fabulous! I keep going in and wanting to buy, but most of their stuff is dry-clean only rayon, which really annoys me so I never go for it. I wish they'd just use more user-friendly fabrics.

Ok, mine aren't original vintage.... I've spent many years raising kids in my "uniform" of jeans and tees and am only now venturing out slowly... like a butterfly perhaps?!

This dress:

and some shoes which bizarrely were being worn by the lady in the shop I went into afterwards to get the dress!

Any UK ladies - the shoes are Primark for £12! They are racing off the shelves as they were in some mag lately apparently. Also in navy and cream.

Black Dahlia - what a haul - I love the charm bracelet in particular - lovely finds all round!

DPD - Gorgeous sun hat - I'm on the lookout for something similar myself - it looks great on you!

MissLaurieMarie - that's a fine case - I would love one myself - have seen some beauties online but I imagine the shipping would be so expensive.

KateOPotato - beautiful dress - I didn't know Cath Kidston did frocks....

RubyMae - beautiful dress (I'm a polka dot nut!) and great shoes - you'll get so much wear out of them.

I recently bought this leather purse off Etsy, not sure the year but the designs on it are similar to the hand tooled Mexican purses I was browsing on Ebay from the 40s and 50s.

There was a new Vintage Fair on near us today. It is clear that I should probably not be allowed near Vintage Fairs with my cheque book in hand. Cue lots of pics, all bought today!

Silk chiffon scarf and three belts, all 1930s

1930s fine straw hat

1920s/30s stencilled tablecloth in delicious shades of creamy beige, pale green and pale pink

1930s shoes 'Made by Turner' and sold in a large town near where we live. Came complete with original wooden shoe trees

'Jekmoth' mothproof clothes holder/portable wardrobe with room for eight hangers.

Two person Sirram picnic set. Not sure yet if 1930s or very early 50s. Working on finding out. Missing the lid of the sandwich box but they are about so will have to track one down.

1930s wool swimsuit in amazing green (just fits!)

Oh, and a few bits for the Mr:

Wow, Miss Sis, all your finds are so amazing!!
The shoes, picnic set, and swim suit are especially wonderful. Will you actually wear the suit in the water?

Miss Sis that picnic set is to die for! And what a wonderful bathing suit, I love the colour.
There are so many pretty things in this thread; it's becoming dangerous territory because as soon as I'm in here I get that shopping itch (I've already been eyeing up a few new pairs of wedges for myself).

Thanks all for the comments on the train case, I love it. I'm actually using it now - I don't travel often and it's too pretty to hide away!

OOh lovely finds Miss Sis, the bathing suit is adorable and you have a figure to die for btw.

I love the picnic set too, we get a few come through my shop, and they are difficult to date. I would say it's definately post 1935, but other than that i couldn't say. Lovely regardless.

I don't have a photo of me wearing them yet, but I recently bought these sunglasses, they are by Christian Dior and have a very nice vintage-y cat eye!

What an incredible bag Lusty - it looks in beautiful condition too.

I got this cardi - have been after one with piping for ages - it's like one Audrey wears in Breakfast at Tiffany's - it looks all kinds of weird on the mannequin but I'm sure will be lovely in real life (the seller promised to defuzz the black trim before sending it to me):

This Ceil Chapman hankie with tags:

A demi parure:

This necklace which I think will go well with some earrings I got the other week:

And this milk glass double strand choker:

here!
I just splurged on lots of vintage-esque (and possibly vintage) jewelry- I'd love to show you guys, but is there any way you can post pics without having an online account at photobucket, flickr, etc?
