I was naughty. I have always wanted one of these celluloid chain necklaces with the things dangling from them and now I have one. When I saw anchors I had to have it. Does anyone know, how do you date these? Listing said 40s, is that right?

I LOVE your necklace! I too love anything nautical. I have a couple of vintage celluloid chain necklaces and I'm pretty certain that they are 1940s.

Nice machine, JessesGirl! I used to sew on a modern Juki and it was a great machine. That one looks like a workhorse and looks fast!

That is so lovely. jealous...

[ThePowderKeg]

Lauren, I am ridiculously jealous. That necklace is amazing!

 

[LinaSofia]

I bought a 50s dress yesterday... thinking it'll be quite good for work!

 

[Drappa]

What a great find LinaSofia! It is so sweet! Is that what the charity shops in Sweden carry? It even has the belt.

 

[Miss sofia]

LinaSofia - That is lovely, such a pretty pattern.

Lauren - i am in love with your necklace - enough said!

Thanks! Nope, I wish! It's from an online vintage shop in the UK! Rainbow Valley Vintage. Tessa who runs it is really nice and picks out good stuff, but it's not cheap... the vintage shops here are full of 80s stuff, the few 40s/50s things you see are super super tiny and that's why they're still there...

Ok this wasn't a purchase because I got it for free (and not for use, for obvious reasons). Late 30's shoes, probably used for a wedding once then stuffed back in the box never to be used again.

 

[cherry lips]

^Absolutely gorgeous, Sproily! Are they for your girlfriend?

 

[beth]

Those are beautiful shoes! What a great find.

 

[sproily]

They are gorgeous, aren't they? No, I've begun to sort of collect shoes...... But if some missus in the future wants to have them and they fit, maybe I could consider again. If I had a girlfriend, and with feet this size, sure, they might be for her.

 

[sproily]

A really nice sports shacket, 50's I suppose. Still with tags, reversable. 10€

A more Finnish type of shacket. A really nice soft material, like some sort of velvet... 10€

Wowee, those shoes could melt any girl’s heart- perfection in a shoe!

As for the bottom jacket- is it a type of moleskin (not actually made from a mole!) well I think that’s what it’s called….

… nah, having another look at it, it looks to be a brushed cotton!

Sounds like the plot line of a vintage Cinderella story!
