The floral one is from Karstadt (in the sale), the cashmere was a rest in a small fabric shop in Bad Bevensen. It's funny, because I get so excited about fabric shopping in Germany, and you are the opposite !

 

[Katinka von K.]

Karstadt, here I come! I usually have one or two fabric stores I go to (if I go at all, most of my fabrics are gifts or thrift store finds) and they hardly have anything patterned that doesn´t scream shabby or kitchen curtain or 90s something like that. I never though about going to Karstadt, what´s wrong with me??

 

[Drappa]

Haha, I know what you mean. I used to get most of my fabric there as a teenager and I still love going there when I visit family. Even hubby loves it, because they have a Maennerparkplatz!

Drappa - Amazing finds there (where to start?!) - the pink Pringle sweater is a real beauty and I love the green coat (one of my fave colours!) and the little hummingbird brooch is so unusual!

 

[Drappa]

Thank you Miss G! I really love that coat and am almost disappointed it'll be too warm to wear it soon.

I won this powder bow, it's also marked on the bottom.
Can anyone inform me about the maker?

I picked these up a couple of weeks ago from... Payless! Lela Rose Spring Pumps. Quite a bit higher of a heel than I would prefer, but I couldn't resist the style of these. I just take the elevator instead of the stairs at work

Mine!

Off topic, but you have a great avatar! I I love Angelique Houtkamp!

 

[MissLaurieMarie]

Mine!

Those are absolutely divine Lenore! ​Where did you find them?

 

[Lenore]

I found them on Etsy. I drooled for about two months before my hubby told me "Just buy them already!"

 

[Miss Golightly]

Romy - I have no idea about your little powder box but it's gorgeous!

Misskillin - Lovely shoes!

Lenore - Beautiful glasses - looking forward to seeing a photo of you wearing them!

Here's a few things from Etsy:

1960s pink silk dress:

1960's pale green dress:

This turquoise necklace:

I was looking for a new warm robe for Winter - my current one was looking a little tired, not too glam and reminiscent of something Bianca Jackson from Eastenders would wear so I saw this Princess Tam Tam microfleece one on ASOS and thought it was just the ticket - it's lovely on, not bulky in the least and soooooo warm:

Here´s what I got today.

I thought this would be of more interest here than in one of the mens' threads. As some of you may know, one of the things I collect (and use) is vintage luggage and this bright red, real alligator hatbox is one of the coolest pieces I've found in a long time. It's in pristine condition - no stains or smells and hardly any wear. Alas, it's a little too 50s Hollywood for my wife's style (and a bit flamboyant for mine...), so I'll prolly put it on eBay someday, but for now I'm enjoying having it around just to look at.

 

[katiesparkles]

The hat box is absolutely gorgeous, wow! Where did you find it?

 

[lolly_loisides]

Robert, that's amazing. Did you find it in a thrift shop? Great find if you did.
p.s Let me know what you want for it before you put it on ebay

 

[Warbaby]

Yes, it was a thrift shop find. I was absolutely stunned when I saw it. BTW, the color in the photos looks a little washed out - it's actually a bit darker with a touch of raspberryness.

Lolly - I can visualize you boarding a vintage train with that hatbox on your arm...

 

[lolly_loisides]

^^
Well if I was visiting my sister I could hop on the train & pick up the hat box. Unfortunately I'm several thousand kilometres away. DM me & let me know what you want for it
ps - how is your new house progressing?

Thank You!
