Considering I lost out on this gem about 6 months ago to the tune of $250, I dont mind that this one has a 'damaged' cover, considering I got it for $30

Yay! Ill post pictured in the 40s wardrobe thread soon.

[Jenniferose7]

I love those frames! I need some fancy frames but I always seem to settle for something vintagey looking from the ones covered by my vision plan.

 

[Inky]

love those frames Lauren! come january I will be on the hunt for some vintage frames in earnest!

I got this on eBay for more than it should be, but alas, not the kind of thing I can ever find in our meager thrift/antique/junk shops. looks to be in good shape and now I don't have to do wet sets with thinking too much ahead of schedule (and I can try Lolita's perm rod sets!)

 

[Bombshell Becca]

I want one too. How long would it take to dry a wet set in that Inky?

It's not vintage but the price was right...i also am getting my sister's old perm rods to do Lolita's sets too...seriously, this is why i got it.

Martini, I am now officially scared - and we didn't even discuss it in advance!! If we ever meet in person there may be a rift in time or something.

Bombshell Becca - I'm not sure at all, it's been decades since I've used a bonnet dryer, but I liked this one because not only was it pink (!) and had a mirror but it also has 4 temp settings, so hopefully it won't be more than an hour or so - my hair is thick, coarse and wavy. I do a wet set on dry hair and wet it with a spray bottle and setting lotion, so it's not actually "wet." I'll let you know though after I get it and try it out!

lol probably...

not so much a purchase as a gift from my mother - this set of samsonite suitcases that had belonged to my great-grandmother and are monogrammed with her initials HLG. I have coveted these cases for a long time and am thrilled to have them. this weekend we ran away from home and I used them!

Love it~ That blue is so pretty.

I use my mom's old one - it's also pink! I'd say on a hot setting you should expect more than an hour. No more than two though.

 

[Miss Sis]

My mum had a similar one in pink too! lol

I agree with Bella - between one and two hours depending on how wet you set and how long or thick your hair is.

 

[Joie DeVive]

That looks to be in exceptional condition.

For those looking of you for one, you might want to try estate sales. I run across them on a fairly regular basis at sales (not as nice as Inky's but still..).

And great glasses Lauren!

It's is snowing here in Idaho so what better way to welcome the next 8-10 months of freeze than with adorable new cloche hat!

YAY hats!

I juts bought this wonderfully 30's inspired black satin dress on ebay. It's actually brand new and is by one of my favourite fashion labesl here -'Review'. They make a lot of very vintage inspired clothing. Review always have such lovely details to their pieces and I love the side pleats on the arms here and the long cuffs. This is $249 in the shops...got it new on ebay for $91. I shall wear it to my friends wedding
