Thank you BD. *waves back*
I love your red earrings.

Have you been to Urban Cottage in Halifax? That's where my most recent items are from.

Lovely sandals Wahine!

They arrived yesterday and they don't fit! I think I'll just give up getting shoes online, this happened the fourth or fifth time to me now.

Miss Golightly, your recent purchases are magnificent as usual (I love your taste!). Esp. the dressing table pieces are wonderful and they look as in perfect condition?!

Picked this up at a shop in Kansas City for only $20. A vintage dealer friend of mine thinks its python skin.

Lillie Librarie, that purse is stunning. And BD, those earrings are amazing...Love the bottom ones. Are they a teal color, or are they more blue or green?

 

[Miss Golightly]

BananaBomb - thank you! I love your finds - the travel case is gorgeous and looks in immaculate condition too.

Mrs Chaddsley-Corbett - thank you too!

Wahine - so sorry to hear about your shoes - they are the one thing that I am reluctant to buy online as you just don't know with the sizes. I can't wait for the dresser set to arrive - apparently it's in mint condition - let's hope it makes it over in the post from the UK in one piece!!!!!!!!!

 

[LinaSofia]

BananaBomb - looove the train set!!
Lillie Librarie - what a stunning bag!! And an amazing find for $20!!

 

[Miss Golightly]

This red linen dress from Saks which is a perfect fit (so nice to not have to get alterations done for a change!) - I like the little bow at the back:

If they don't, they're my size, so I'd be glad to take them off your hands They're exquisite!!

 

[Miss Golightly]

If they don't, they're my size, so I'd be glad to take them off your hands They're exquisite!!

Thanks C-Dot - I'll let you know how I get on! I have a few shoes in different US sizes - 8, 8.5 and 9 so I'm praying that they are "my" 8.5!!!!!!!!

Well, they arrived this morning (that was quick!) and they are a perfect fit (sorry C-dot!) - really comfy with some nice toe cleavage!!!!!!!!

...

That is so cute! how big is it?
I don't know about the grains; I can only think of fall, swallows going to the south, harvest... maybe something like that?

This is my latest Ebay treasure. I can't wait to see it in person! When I saw "Philippines 1945" painted on it, I knew it had historic importance. That was an important year for the Philippines, because it was at the tail end of WWII, and the Philippines had been ground zero in much of that war, suffering numerous war atrocities. I googled it and learned that the Philippines was liberated from Japanese occupation by the Allies in August 1945, and it took some time after that for the remaining Japanese troops to be convinced they had lost the war. This hat looks like something the natives made for tourists, but there obviously weren't any tourists going there before the war ended there. I think this hat was made to celebrate the liberation. I believe some American GI brought this back home from the war. I may never know for sure but my theory is as likely as not, given the circumstances.

After a few weeks of serious longing and searching craigslist, I happened upon this Vanity at a local charity resale shop. After "hinting" a few times to my husband about it, a few days later he called me from his office to tell me we would be picking it up after work. Only $30! Now I'll be on the hunt for a matching chair or stool.

I first used it today while getting ready for a job interview, doing my make-up and flat ironing my hair. I don't know how I ever got ready without it. It is so nice to have everything I need in reach, put on a record and doll myself up at the mirror. I set up stacked hatboxes and and a 50s jewelry box on one side and the other tables covered in purple sheer fabric with a gold tassled table runner for my record player and vintage japanese jewelry boxes. Underneath I put my Train Case, which now holds my scarves, belts, and a few hair things (until my next adventure . I'm in love with it and it makes me feel like little birds will come help me dress in the morning.

It´s about 8cm from wing to wing.

Gorgeous!! The peacock feathers are a nice touch. I wish I had the space for one of those.

Maybe it's like the grains of rice embedded in Chinese porcelain, so you'll "never go hungry".
