Will do! The previous owner says it works great, she just doesn't have time to sew anymore. She was asking $50 but I offered $20. After no other bites she took it! She says 70's but I think it's older than that.

Miss G, yes, it is a gentleman's evening scarf for wear with white tie. 1920s or 30s with that monogram.

A silk monogrammed scarf (think this may be a gents scarf but can't be sure):

Thanks for letting me know Miss Sis! I can't believe it's that old - it's in really lovely condition - can't wait to wear it (I'll be so dapper!!!!!)!

A 1930s oak bookshelf - was after one of these for ages:

That's wonderful! I'm looking for such a shelf, too. Congratulations to your find.

VintageTink, the machine looks great. Yours is at least 15-20 years older than mine. I gave up looking for a really old one cause I wasn't as lucky as you. I cross my fingers for you that it really works with no fussing. Be sure to give it a good oiling before you start off.

 

[Miss Golightly]

Thanks Wahine - I hope you find one that you love soon!

 

[wahine]

Thank you. I keep looking but it's getting harder since ebay is dying (at least for private persons). So I'll have to stick to the flea markets.

 

[Miss Golightly]

I got mine off Etsy - I just had a quick look there and there are one or two you might like (not too pricey either) - might be worth a look for you?

I'm totally in love with my new vintage-compatible booties.
(excuse my "doe just to be run over" stare)



I love how they look, they're comfy and weren't even expensive. Yay!

I've been looking for such a set for ages but I wasn't willig to pay too much since I don't really ever drink any shots. But I wanted this anyway, and finally found it at the local thrift store.



The handle is a bit loose and the white glass isn't original - but it's a sweet piece of decoration for my kitchen.

OMG, they are fantastic... would you tell us the name...!?

Sure. There from Bama. I could post a link to a website where they can be ordered (but maybe just from Germany, I'm not sure). Are we allowed to post commercial links?

Well, I just do it. If it's forbidden, please remove and forgive me, bartenders.

Found this amazing mint condition 1940s set las week. Will be selling it on if anyone is interested. Waaaaaaay too small for me! But how gorgeous is it! I can see Hedy Lamaar in this.

 

[Nomanolo]

That is goooorgeous... How divine.... I would so wear that!

I haven't posted for a while so have lots of stuff to show but thought I would start with some vintage American Tourister luggage I bought. The case arrived yesterday and it's pristine! The exterior & interior are spotless/odourless and the case has three of its original bags for perhaps make-up & lingerie (if anyone has a definite idea please let me know!). There was a little Bell Hop key in its original paper bag which I've just discovered works!

I got this vanity case from a different seller - again it has its key but it hasn't arrived yet so I can't say if it works or not! The case doesn't have its tray but that's not that important to me:

A JR Florida Box Purse:

A Lord & Taylor 60s dress:

A Shannon Rodgers for Jerry Silverman Silk Faux Wrap dress:

 

[W-D Forties]

The little bag with your case looks like a stockings bag. Lovely find!

 

[JessKelly]

Excellent finds Miss Golightly, that faux wrap dress in particular looks so beautiful and versatile.

 

[Miss Golightly]

WD - Thanks for confirming! I really can't get over how clean and unused this case is - like it was never used (or someone was very, very careful with it - no way will this be going in the hold on a plane!)

JessKelly - thank you - I have a few Jerry Silverman dresses and I love them all - it's one label I always keep my eye out for!

:Cry:Miss Golightly: SO jealous of the luggage!!
