Thanks to a pretty good month on etsy, I was able to make an investment purchase.

Im excited. Most are cotton (yay!) so I can wear them, but the listing said some silk and nylons were in the mix.

Welp what I cant fit Ill just resell

Eyes pop out of my head Lady Day, they are really nice, what a great find. :eusa_clap

^^^^ Woweeeeee JACKPOT!!! well done Ladyday, what a treat!!! I love those boxes, wonderful find.

 

[23SkidooWithYou]

SWEET!!!!!! :eusa_clap

At the risk of sharing too much info...they look so goooood all lined up like that, my initial reaction was to roll around naked on them but then I realized I'd CRUSH the boxes. :eusa_doh: (just kidding and fyi, that's just a catch phrase I'm guilty of using when I really think something is fantastic, I've never actually done it )

You guys make this quite possibly my favorite thread!

Drooool

LD, beautiful find. If I had a need to wear stockings (which is rare!)I would always wear vintage and mostly seamed. Nothing so subtle and sexy as seamed nylons. Love the boxes too. Dandy

Thanks all and 23SkidooWithYou, they are kinda stocking porn, arnt they

The listing had them dated at 20-40s which is highly unlikely, especially judging from the condition and box graphics. Im thinking super late 40s at the earliest to 60s, which is fine. Its not like stockings have changed much since then Im just glad to have them. Ive seen lots like this go for twice what I paid, so I feel lucky to have been able to get them.

My husband bought this for my birthday. Not vintage, but I really liked the colors. Perfect for a lavendar sweater I picked up.

 

[goldwyn girl]

Lady Day, I'm green with envy really a fabulous lot !

The necklace is cheap but I had to have it. They had a very Art Deco looking cuff bracelet also. I feel a little guilty getting jewelry from Forever 21 because I know so many hard working jewelry designers. The Barrett is from Forever 21 also.

I was finding it quite hard to find a changing bag that didn't have flowers or teddy bears on it - nor did I want to spend an absolute fortune on a leather bag - after some serious searching I came across this lovely "Lady With A Baby" range from Samsonite - which looks nothing like a changing bag:

 

[Miss_Bella_Hell]

look how cute it is with my earrings on it! it fit nearly all my pairs. i've moved several of the larger pairs off and put some smaller ones on in order to make more room.

Yeah, got one of those once. It has never been used, and it was given to us as a gift almost three years ago.

Miss Bella Hell, what a cute way to store earrings. I need one of those! Mine would always get lost in the bottom of a hat box. Maybe that is why I quit wearing earrings. lol
