Let's Go shopping!

Haven't done one of these posts for a while, so I think we're due.


This Fishpool Hoard brooch from Nomads With Baggage is a wonderful museum replica piece. Alexis is a terrific seller, and I have been so happy with the many items I have purchased from her.

This Flapper Comb from Deb at Cheap Frills on Etsy is another phenomenal deal. I've bought two combs from Deb (and other items) and I can assure you, she's a great seller with a particularly good eye for combs. She's also the fastest shipper, ever!

This Circle Skirt Dress from 1860-1960 has a fab print. I have bought so many pieces from 1860-1960 and they're all treasures! If I ever win the lottery, I know where I'm shopping first.
This Copper Bracelet from Ms. Vintage Treasures is not only beautiful, but a fantastic bargain as well. I have been pleased with the brooches I purchased from this shop and it is taking a good deal of willpower to keep from buying this bracelet. Gosh, I love copper. 

This Cicada Brooch from Maisonette de Madness is a cheerful little good luck charm. I have happily forked over my cash to this seller time and again for wonderful pieces you won't see everywhere. Your purchase will arrived wrapped up like the perfect present...to yourself! 

These Miller Studio Chalkware Fish from Do You Remember When are a steal at $15.00. They could use a small touch-up with paint, but that is reflected in the price. You can spend five minutes with a pot of paint for that price! I bought my Barn purse from this seller and it arrived quickly and well packaged. 

Fancy a bottle of L' Heure Bleue?  This1967 bottle is a great deal at $189.99 from Etsy seller, ODONA. I am a happy customer, and can verify that the quality and prices of their perfumes are excellent. Guerlain lover that I am, this is sadly one of the fragrances that is too sweet on me. If you can wear it, this is a bottle worth snapping up. 

Is Faberge more your style? Emily at The Nine of Cups has a perfume concentration bottle of Aphrodisia in a metal presentation box. I've been collecting perfume for years and have never run across one like this. You know when you order from Emily it will be perfect and shipped in a flash. 


This Pucci Knock-Off from seller Olive You Vintage is one of many NOS shirts and sweaters she has for sale. I purchased a 50's nylon top and an acrylic 60's cardigan. The prices are great, but did require several washes to get the "storage" smell out. This is reflected in the prices and really, a bit of fresh air is all they needed for clothes that hadn't seen the light of day for decades. I've purchased from her several times now and you honestly can't beat her prices. Do look around the site if you need larger sizes-there were several extra large sweaters last time I looked. 

Someone Buy This Suit from Past Perfect Vintage. At $55.00 it is practically stealing from yourself to not buy it. I have no idea why it hasn't sold as it is in excellent condition and in a larger size. I'd buy it myself if I didn't already have a nearly identical one. For heaven's sake-someone please go buy this!

This dress I bought-click the link to see a better picture of the Owl and the Pussycat print. at $31.00 USD it was too good to pass up. 

Anyone out there have any 
steals or deals to share? Leave the links in the comments.

80's Does 30's

Image
I always thought I was too short for a dropped waist dress. I was wrong.  This 80's does 30's dress is the sort of thing my mum liked to wear, but she was quite tall and had great legs. I assumed I'd look like a potato in a dress like this, so I avoided them. Looking at the way this dress worked on my build, it opens up all sorts of  wardrobe possibilities. There's no shortage of these 80's dresses, and I will now be giving them a bit more attention on the rail than I previously had.  I could have done without the fabric flower, but it is sewn on rather securely. The busy floral print made accessorising tricky, but I knew I bought this long strand of beads for a reason. I had the perfect straw hat as well... I found this hat at Goodwill on a display with ratty baseball caps and winter stocking caps. Looking at the photos, I'm wearing this hat too far back on my head. That's fine for a schoolgirl, but I'm a grown woman, and it really belongs evenly atop m

Favourite Autumn Blouses

Image
It must be Autumn if the KoKoKnits blouse is making an appearance.  Nothing says, "Autumn" like a brown, leaf print fabric. The brown pleated skirt is also seeing a first wear since last winter. I haven't properly started unpacking cool weather clothes as we can continue to get warm days well into October, but a few pieces were within easy reach. My sense is we're in for an early winter, but I'm basing that on worsening arthritis symptoms, and my fingers and toes turning blue. You may prefer meteorological data. This brown and blue check polyester jacket was purchased a few years ago, but rarely worn. It has a pleat at the back giving it a swing effect, but for some reason, I don't like it on me. It isn't too big or small, and the sleeves seem okay, but for some reason I feel like I'm wearing my grandmother's 70's slipcovers when I try this jacket on.  It might look better with a pair of denim flares. This time of year I'm cobbling together
