Wow, great trade Dahlia! That dress is so amazingly flattering on you!:eusa_clap

And Shearer I love the hat, I have one from the 20's that looks very similar! Great avatar too, btw!

Here's one I was amazed to wake up and find out I'd won. It's 30's, and was described as having a few tiny, light spots which I'm sure will come out with a trip to the cleaners. I was amazed becase it's in excellent condition otherwise, strong fabric, no tears/holes, or loose seams, and I got it for a ridiclously low price! I'm not complaining though, oh no!lol

VB, I LOVE!!! that Lili Ann jacket!!

If I had the buttons I would give them to you just to see what it looks like on! It is absolutely stunning!

I have to stop buying things and can't seem to get it under control. I won this dress on eBay and bought a pair of Doc Martens and semi-vintage Levi's at Savers today.

Here is the dress.

And here are the Doc Martens that only cost me $6.00. I was going to buy them for my son but they don't fit and fit me so it worked out well.

Kimberly, the pattern on that dress is a dream!
And as for the Docs, good buy! I have a pair of navy blue mary jane Doc Martens that I bought in the 90's and they look almost as good as they day I got them. DMs seem to last forever!

Aw thanks!

 

[Pink Dahlia]

Just got back from the antique store. There were some things I had been wanting for a while.

My very first pair of gloves!

Just in time for the AZ summer! :eusa_doh:

And drumroll please...

The steal of the century! 1950s purse...0.99 cents!

 

[ShooShooBaby]

ooh, i love that purse, PD!

 

[Pink Dahlia]

Thanks ShooShoo completely worth all 0.99 cents I paid for it! lol

 

[Sweet Polly Purebred]

That purse is outstanding!

 

[Pink Dahlia]

That's such a relief ladies! I almost didn't buy it! (It's very similar to my other vintage purse.)

But then I thought "Who would be stupid enough to turn down a 0.99 cent purse?"
"Not me!"

Speaking of Lilli Ann, I couldn't resist this jacket:

Also, I was just outbid on a 1920s wedding dress -- sheath style. I know fair's fair but I wanted to hurt her lol

 

[CanadaDoll]

Such beautiful things Dahlia, I love those gloves, and as Lady Stardust puts it, hooray for milestones:eusa_clap


Sad to hear you lost the dress Linda I know how you feel with wanting to hurt someone sometimes they get frustratinglol



I was lucky enough to go out with a bang today, I found this:

And this beauty, which I am particularly thrilled about

Here's the detail on the front

And now, no more ebay for me for a good long while, I swear! lol

 

[lindawmn]

Thanks Doll! Love your purchases.

As for Ebay -- I have to say this is a lot cheaper than my guitar habit

That's become truly pathetic but (I think) I've got what I need instrument-wise. Dress??? Um, I think not

Isn't this cute??

[CanadaDoll]

Linda, I narrowly missed developping one of those, my fingers wouldn't toughen, and finally I got so frustrated I stopped playing, I know what you mean, the pretty ones aren't cheap! lol

Thanks for the compliment

Very cute!

Wow CanadaDoll. I love that orchid dress. Is that handpainted? Sure looks like it in the photos.

Wanted to tell you I spent 2 wks. in Edmonton last August. I was in awe of the beauty around you and the growth of the place. If someone needs a job definitely the place to be. Also amazed by no ugly billboards. In Texas they are every foot it seems. I live near Houston.
Went to Banff and Canmore but have to say Canmore was the most beautiful place I have ever seen in my life. I got to play in the snow in Aug. A fluke weekend snow just for me. I hadn't seen snow since about 1985.
Here are 2 photos I took. I know you have seen this beautiful place but someone else may enjoy.

The key is to get the guitar set up right (strings low so it's easier to play) and to play through the pain (and frustration). Guitars all sound different, have their own character, so it's all too easy to want another and another...

The thing that's funny is I love vintage, especially dresses and never get to go out, what with three kids! I do wear diamonds with jeans and sweats though. A girl's gotta indulge!

The seller said it was handpainted yes, so I'm hoping further inspection will prove true

Banff is a busy place these days, so people are moving their cottages to Canmore, I'm glad you enjoyed yourself, the snow seems to be a regular fixture here in augustlol but hey we get snowball fights year roundlol
I love your pictures too!

I paid an arm and a leg for this ($30) because I have the matching earrings!

 

[CanadaDoll]

That is gorgeous Bella!!! Please excuse me while my I restart my heart....lol
What's it made of, wired fabric, or metal?

Eek! Thanks!!! Well, the earrings are basically wired yellow paper with rhinestone centers. The necklace is like a clear plastic with mostly yellow and some white splotches creating the yellow petals.

 

[CanadaDoll]

Wow sounds cool!

 

[Lady Day]

This jacket is fantatic!
Wow.
