Miss Bella Hell - You look stunning, red is such a lovely colour on you!

Land-O-LakesGal - I love that sewing basket, it's a treasure!

 

[Miss_Bella_Hell]

Aw, thanks! I got those curtains at the same shop I bought the dresses and mermaids!!

Miss_Bella_Hell,

Your dresses look bespoke

I spy the red cracked ice chair, does your table have a grey cracked ice finish?

 

[Miss_Bella_Hell]

Thanks! I have a vintage figure. Modern clothes that fit are tougher to find! My chairs and table do not match - my table is an antique wood craftsman table from my parents. Those chairs are in pretty bad condition though. I should sell them to someone who will take care of them. I bought them from my landlord when I moved in!

Hi gals!
I recently bought these lovely booklets from Ebay.

I've taken a few scans and love the images and knitting patterns inside (even though I can't knit, yet!). I know you ladies would also like them so I was wondering would I be breaking copyright laws if I posted the scans on my blog?
Thanks

The beige cutwork tablecloth looks similar to some dresser scarves I inherited from my mother.

Don't let them go too cheaply, these are new and look at the prices:

Miss_Bella_Hell, you look simply stunning! Love the neckline on the first dress.

Here are some of the finds I snatched up at a local antique store's President's Day Sale! I got a rust-colored 1930s crepe dress I'd been drooling over for MONTHS for just $5.00, then a black lace 1920s dress for just $20.00 (it has a few tiny moth holes), and an adorable muff set $10.00. It was the best day of 2011 and possibly my life lol

The 1930s [heaven-sent] dress:

...which will go perfectly with this 1930s hat I also picked up recently:

The 1920s dress:

It's very sheer, I will have to find a nice black slip to go underneath now!

Anddd the fabulously kitschy 1950s rabbit fur muff and cap set:


I didn't take any photos of it, but I also snapped up an adorable striped 1950s dress with big pink buttons for a whopping $5.00

PS Sorry for the picture overload... I get way too excited about vintage bargains!

I think I just fell in love...

Oh wow, great deal RodeoRose!
I got a few bits and bobs off Ebay, and have been very lucky at one of the charity shops around here, because they got a bunch of things from a lady's estate and some of them were priced very reasonably, although they frankly had strange pricing that was all over the place.
I got some sewing/crafty bits:

Sorry about the tiny pic, those are belt buckles.

A Horrockses dress and jacket!

Not purchases, but was given this stool and sewing machine, which looks to be from 1908, but I need to double check once I have it in my hands, as it's with my in-laws at the moment.

 

[Drappa]

Thrift shop finds, some of which I will sell on as they don't fit me.
Darling dress, seems to be rayon mix, but the waist sits very high, so looks like maternity wear on me

60's/70's dress

Lovely dress, but too small

The one I almost didn't get because of a stain, which came out right away when I washed it. Fits perfectly!

Little bows on waist and neck

Burgundy patent bag in need of TLC, but lovely

Finally, a cute jewellery box, of which I now have a set because I bought a nearly identical one a few months ago

And my husband got me this lovely fabric for a summer dress, including matching ric rac trim. Sorry it's not ironed, I washed it but haven't ironed it yet.

And the dress form is my birthday present form my in-laws

Great finds. Especially love the hat.

 

[Elpinoine]

I love the dress! What a great find.

Your husband has fabulous taste in fabrics! I love it! You must post a photo of your creation!

I will let him know, even though I was there and picked it It will make him happy. He wouldn't know cotton from chiffon if it bit him in the behind

RodeoRose,

Oh, the 1920's dress !♥! When you find the undergarment, please post a pic.

Drappa,

Please tell me your red tulip print dress will have a full skirt

 

[Drappa]

Drappa,

Please tell me your red tulip print dress will have a full skirt

Yes, it will! Once I find the appropriate pattern and it needs no more than 5mtrs
