It's been a super long time since I posted here...

Not really a purchase as I got it for FREE at a clothing swap. But my first honest to goodness vintage frock that FITS and looks good on me. Sorry for the creepy face in the second pic...think "cocktail party." lol

I just had to come out of hiding to show it off. :p SCORE ONE FOR THE CHUBBY CHICKS.

ya know some days you hunt and there is nothing, and some days there is so much goodness you have to choose wisely...so these are from an outing to my favorite antique mall yesterday:

funky lucite hair comb:

celluloid hair receiver - a going out of business booth so this lovely was only five dollars!! i don't know why it looks different colors in the image, must be the lighting, because it's the same buttery yellow.

an aluminum coaster set with rack - i have a coaster fetish or so my hubby thinks. I also hate water rings on tables ;)

and the best of all - an immaculate black corde cylinder bag with beautiful lucite handles from the estate of a local lady. the vendor was there and told me all about it. She was happy it will stay in town and enjoy a day/night out again!

Just won these counter top display signs on ebay for my reenactment portrayal of a WW2 seamstress/ dressmaker:

!BV49bfwBWk~$(KGrHgoOKj8EjlLmVnm)BKU1,JzBlg~~_12.JPG


I really wanted the 4th piece of the set which was this gorgeous wall sized banner, but I was outbid at the last second:

I'm not that upset though. I can make a copy of that banner from the first display sign by bringing it into a printing shop. Or Kinkos. I'm so excited to have these!!

I know! (And thank you!)

One of the girls here sent the link to me because she knows of my portrayal and I almost fainted! It's so impossible to find anything display-wise having to do w/ sewing outside of advertisements and patterns/ books. And in pristine condition!? (I'm super excited!)

thanks antje and zendy!

No, i put my hair in it that I had been previously saving in a very unglamorous Ziploc bag!!

It definitely is a great find!!

I put my hair in the toe of an old stocking and my fiance freaks out any time he catches a glimpse of it!

Well, I've been keeping a secret from y'all. ;)

My reason for shopping lately is due in a few weeks, and she will be one well-turned out little girl. Here's my latest purchase for a whopping $2.49! :eek: :D
