Hi pretties.

I have a thing for coats. I used to do purses and shoes, now I do coats. Found this lovely yesterday for a steal:

I've nicknamed her 'Rive Gauche' after the YSL perfume in the blue & black bottle. I'm enamored.

She's in great condition; only needs a smidge of reinforcing on approx 1in. of the inner lining. She's probably 80's doing 40's but she looks great with my stuff, so I'm pleased.

Cheers all!

... Just high off winning these two adorable '30s shirts for a song:

The peach has cute little bakelite ball buttons.

And also this, for 6 bucks, w/ French knots & embroidery:

Love! But I'll be singing a different tune trying to scrub the stains out!

Finally, these shoes, marked down to $30, which I am obsessed with:

... And, not a recent purchase, but I just re-found my favorite Depression farm dress by sewing some repro feedsack patches over a gaping hole. Making it even more Depression.

Where ever did you find those shoes for $30? I must get a pair!

It's not exactly for me, but it's too pretty not to be posted!
I've had this incredible 30s gown for months now. I finally took the plunge and did a little bit of restoration work, and it turned out beautifully! Light as air rayon taffeta, and a lovely gathered sweetheart neckline.

Sari-LOVE the tiki patterns! Pineapples for pockets? Genius!!

 

[LadyDeWinter]

Grace: What a wonderfull dress!!!!!

Nicoletta: The second dress is my favourite, too. But the first one you bought isn´t too bad either!!!

beau: I love that two-toned coat! I saw one on the cover of a German pattern magazine from the 30s and thought it´s wonderfull. Now that I see one in person I´m even more amazed!

As soon I made a pineapple Apron and the dress I really have to take photos of me and my Tiki-Mug collection

 

[jitterbugdoll]

Grace--that dress is divine!

 

[Grace]

I almost got in a fight for it! lol it would have been worth it, too.

If it fit me, I'd be awfully tempted to keep it, much to my husbands dismay!

 

[jitterbugdoll]

So you'll be listing it for sale?

 

[Miss Neecerie]

Can I ask that discussions of items that might be for sale are done in PM's?

Otherwise I will end up having to ask that the whole photo and all be taken down.

Thanks for understanding.

 

[jitterbugdoll]

Well, I'm not in the market for a party dress myself, but I was curious as to her plans for it. It's a neat piece; I hope it finds a good home

I got them along with a black pair at a local shop in Savannah, which was probably looking to restock their store. An amazing stroke of luck, for sure.

I love the pineapple apron, that is so cute!

Well, it's been a while, but here's a few things I've won over the last month. Good thing about the new job is that I have no time for shopping, on or offline!
