This is so beautiful! Any pics of the inside?

KittyT, such a shame about the size! Is it possible there are other retailers who carry the same suit in a different size? I really hope you're able to find one that'll fit you, it really is such a wonderful suit!

The retailers carrying that suit are closeout retailers, so they have whatever sizes are shipped to them. Usually, I'll see only one or two in a store, if any.

Just picked up these shoes in black from Kohl's for $16.50! I sure hope they fit! I have such a horrible time finding good, cute black flats.

I bought a hat from 64Tonya (a similar one to the one she is wearing in her avatar) and it arrived at the postoffice!! I can't wait to pick it up!

Oh, those will be fabulous with them! I have those shoes in a limited edition Trophy Queen pink glitter vinyl with leopard trim and a carved V8 symbol - purrrrfect for car shows! They are surprisingly comfy!

clearly we have the same tastes, haha!

Reliving my childhood!

okay, this is a bit of a silly purchase, but it was less than $5US, so I don't mind too much.

I remembered the other day when seeing someone walking a pair of scotty dogs, one black and one white, that I had a little pin of two dogs when i was a little girl. I used to love pins and would pin them along my skirt hem or down a sleeve when i was very small (I was born in 1960 - brooches and pins were very popular in my mom's "off-limits" jewelry box when i was growing up!).

So I got to thinking about that little pin and wondering where it went...a little google-fu and lo and behold there were several on ebay. Now there's one back in my own jewelry box!

You can relive your youth

LD that set is awesome!

Well i'm just so excited. Window shopping on ebay with same search parameters as usual (Black dress, 40s), never expecting to find anything that I liked and that would fit that I could also afford. But I did! I'm not sure if it's even original and it's definitely not in the best condition, but I like it, it's my size and now it's mine. WHEEEEE.

I know this sounds stupid of me , I did not know you had ration books. I have seen loads on the web about the UK and ration books / clothing coupon nothing about the USA .
Any how a great find as I bet most people destroyed there book after rationing ended as a celebration .

You learn something every day
