The ones that got away

[cherry lips]

UGH! This only went for $15.50!

I don't mean to remind you of your loss, but oh my how I love your taste! <3

 

[Lauren]

I had a snipe bid on this, but I woke up this morning to found it went for $66. Man.

I had a snipe bid on this too. I was hoping a fellow lounger would win. I am a little relieved that I lost as my max bid was $55.00

 

[Lady Day]

Id been waiting for a 30s hat pattern in a 23" head for years. Saved up for this one the whole week.
Lost it by $3 :cry:
It went for $107. As crazy as it sounds, I would have paid that. I think Im gonna go cry.

[Lauren]

Oh man. That's a great pattern. Not that bad for price as far as hat patterns go for that size. Bummer!

 

[Lady Day]

I was gonna make each hat like ten times in every color I could think of then repo the pattern. *sigh* I had all these plans!

I KNEW I shoulda bid higher!

I've gotta say between the outrageous prices of LD and Lauren's missed patterns WHO is shelling out the dough for these? My goodness, i love vintage and sewing but i couldn't....

 

[Miss 1929]

Probably other vintage pattern producers...

Lovely stuff.

 

[goldwyn girl]

Oh Lady Day I'm sorry you missed that pattern.

 

[The Shirt]

Really thought this was the one. Now off to search locally for something similar. Just loved the shape.

 

[Lady Day]

Came up again, went for $46...again.

I was looking at all these things but they were too expensive, and now they are gone.

It's not difficult to find aprons in larger sizes but I've never seen one that uses plus-sized drawn women to model them.

Woweeeeeee they are ALL divine, particularly the early swirl, hard luck Laura!

 

[kamikat]

This lot went for $24.93. It's not that much but I really only wanted the one of the left so I couldn't justify paying more for something I didn't want.

 

[Foofoogal]

ouch :eusa_doh: over the Navy blue Swirl..Love all those though.

 

[kamikat]

I was outbid on a set of 4 Mervin clips that went for $46. I'm trying to really think about my spending, so I couldn't justify spending that much on hair products.

I dig ya, Kamikat!

I've gotten some great items and some that I could have lived without that were at the expense of the items I need most...like foundations and shoes for the garments I do have.

I'm thinking about hopping on the "no spender bender" wagon with Inky and Miss B. I'm just not sure I can do it!

Hey girlfriend...What are ya doing for March??? LOL
I could use a NSB Buddy!

I'm trying to do the NSB for Feb, but it's actually turned into more like a "think about your spending" Feb. I've bought lots of stuff I've been putting off because I've been spending frivolously, like replacing old make-up, practical shoes instead of 4in heels that I'll only wear once, a bolt of muslin so I can test all my patterns and use up fabric I already have. March will be a true NSB.
