Happy Bday DPD

MarieAnne great score, I got a hood dryer this summer and I love it. My hair can take 12 hours to dry in pin curls so it really helps speed the process I use it for an hour before bed sleep on the curls and am good to go in the morning. Before I couldn't take them out until about noon. I still have that problem with rollers even with the dryer.
My older son likes it too cause its warm and comfy to sit under. Enjoy your freebe I had to pay $30 for mine and it didn't come with a chair.

Belated birthday wishes deadpandiva - hope you had a brilliant day - beautiful beret I might add!

I got this silver cocktail tray for a 50's style soiree I'm hosting in a few weeks time:

And I also got these cute Old Hollywood wine charms for the same event:

And this lucite purse (I've wanted one for ages!) which should go with everything!:

Two llittle bakelite voices called out, "Buy me, buy me..." It would have been too cruel to ignore them.

Added to the much loved and frequently worn dress clip collection:

This is a big one - 2.5" x 1.5" tapering to 1"

Another good sized one - about 3" long.

I popped into the op-shop during my lunch hour and scored 2 pairs of earings! The pearl ones and the mother of pearl? I think that is what it is. The bright ones I got in the same op-shop last week. I don't know what their dates are but I love old clip on earrings I think they just top off an outfit. There is a show called collectors on Friday nights and a lass on there showed a quick shot of here dressing table and I 'think' I saw a matching brooch to the bright earrings.......now I won't be happy till I find myself a matching brooch

 

[crazydaisy]

thanks everyone, i'm definitely very happy with those purchases

wow Lily, that bakelite is yummy!

 

[Miss sofia]

Yes those Bakelite clips are stunning!

Love the clip-ons too, your right they really do dress up an outfit, can't get enough of 'em, good purchase! x

 

[Lily Powers]

Thank you for the kind words, ladies. Bakelite just makes me smile - glad to see there are some other fans, too!

Great purse Miss Goligthly. My mother had that purse and shoes to match in the 80's. She lost one of the shoes in a snow drift and my sister lost the purse about 10 years ago. I think I will buy her a replacemnt.

 

[Ada Vice]

MarieAnne - you lucky thing that chair is amazing

Miss Golightly you seem to find such amazing things on Etsy, I'm having to be very strict with my spending for the next few months so I will live vicariously through you lol (apart from a dressing table and heated curlers that I NEED )

Deadpandiva - That is such a shame about your Mum's lucite set - I'm sure she'd love to have them back again! I have to say I chuckled a little at the idea of the shoe being lost in the snow drift - so easily done and there would be no way of seeing the shoe in the snow! I just hope your sister was close to home when that incident occured!

Ada Vice - thank you! I went a little crazy of late on Etsy so that's me done for the next while - although I will check in every day - just to make sure I'm not missing out on somethign that I HAVE to have!!!!!!!!!

 

[Black Dahlia]

Oooh, definitely! I wouldn't part with my Bakelite brooches or bangles for the world! Especially my cherries. ;0

At my new school, the rule is that you have to wear a jacket for all assemblies, official events, parents evenings etc. Having got fed up of the same black jacket twice a week, I've just bought myself this velvet number from Cath Kidston. I think it's smashing...
