I actually saw last night that the price for them had dropped further since I got mine earlier in the week, so yes, very reasonable! And we can be belt twins now

Grrr! Pet hate when they reduce prices even further on sale stuff! But such a beautiful belt i just had to snaffle one at that price!

we'll have to be belt triplets - I got an almost identical one from Accessorize about 3 years ago in the sale

I have a big weak spot for silver and marcasites! I got these two little clip on earrings and a sterling silver and mother of pearl brooch on ebay.

I had to know the price of that darling coat in current dollars. The conversion chart I found calculates the current cost at $513.00. Pricey.

Not actually a purchase but wasnt sure where to put this..didnt see a thread for "show us what you inherited" [huh]so im gonna put it here feel free to tell me where i should have posted it. I have now inherited my hubby's mothers sewing machine it is this exact model, since i have never used a machine like this before i am anxious to try it out.

 

[LinaSofia]

Very nice Jessegirl! think there is a thread for inherited things.. but I can't find it either. never mind, eh!

I have myself been at it again! Here are a couple of jewellery purchases I made today on eBay.

Bakelite 40s earrings

and a Sarah Coventry bangle. It was sold as lucite, but I'm a little anxious to see whether it might actually be bakelite! either way, I like it and it was £2.99!!

 

[Miss Golightly]

LinaSofia - what incredible finds! I love the brooch - it's stunning....

 

[LinaSofia]

thanks Miss G!

and if that wasn't enough, I just won this bakelite carved rose bead necklace for £4! I've been so lucky the last couple of days! Now I think I need to close ebay for a little while (my boyfriend isn't here to tell me to stop ebaying - and look what happens! )

That is so pretty!

eBay is so addictive - I went on just to have a look at some 1950's magazines and ended up buying five! Plus some cute reading glasses that I hope suit me and I am really tempted by some pink floral fabric to make an apron with!

AngelJenny, it's totally addictive! Hi my name is Lina and I'm an ebay addict
As long as my purchases are all pretty small, I'm happy to stay that way...

 

[Miss Golightly]

Another fab find LinaSofia!

I got this thermoset set the other day - I love all the different colours you can find:

 

[Lauren]

I was naughty. I have always wanted one of these celluloid chain necklaces with the things dangling from them and now I have one. When I saw anchors I had to have it. Does anyone know, how do you date these? Listing said 40s, is that right?

Nice machine, JessesGirl! I used to sew on a modern Juki and it was a great machine. That one looks like a workhorse and looks fast!

 

[LinaSofia]

that's gorgeous Lauren!! What a great find! I don't know about dating them though...

My I have gone all weak at the knees- that is SUPER! I love anything quirky and nautical!
I would say it was earlier-Probably 30’s but also could be 40’s.
This certainly touches a nerve for me as it very much reminds me of my beloved 30’s red bakelite anchor brooch I lost on holiday- boo hoo,
Ship Ahoy!

I just keep changing the limit of what a small purchase is!

4 of the magazines I bought arrived today and they are adorable! I can see vintage magazines being far more addictive than modern ones.
