Can it get any cuter?

This early 60’s summer dress is perhaps one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen. A vibrant yellow with embroidered white swirls and appliqued daisies – topped off with a sweet white stand up ring collar! I am in desperate want of a vibrant little BEE pin to put on it!! This dress was originally a bit longer and has been hemmed up, but the rest of the fabric is still there if you want to bring it back to it’s original length

This one is a size Small. It’s freshly dry cleaned and in the store waiting for you!

Can I have one in my size, please?

And while we’re at it, I’ll take a dozen in every other size, too. I could have sold his dress a hundred times already!!

Iwas doing one of my regular searches of eBay for vintage novelty prints — and I came across this AMAZING dress that makes me want to CRY because it’s just a wee bit too small for me! WAH!

Seriously? Have you ever SEEN anything this cute??? A very sophisticated black dress with yellow piping & detailing — with a fantastic print of DOG WALKERS??? I’d have a pretty hefty bid on this if it was in my size.

Maybe it’s in YOUR size? If you’re as much of a sucker for Novelty prints as I am, go check out the listing. And even better? It’s from Vintage Fashion Guild member and a long-time vintage friend, Northstar Vintage - so you know you’ll be getting EXACTLY what’s advertised!

*sigh*

Anyone know how much it costs to have ribs removed? I suppose I could afford it with all the money I’d save NOT eating. It’s times like this when I REALLY miss my 20-year old body!!

SUPER DUPER RARE 40’s Skier shirt added to eBay!

admin — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 17:30:07 +0000

I actually listed something on eBay!

I’ve had TWO people tell me that this shirt is book listed – but I don’t know which book!! Argh! If anyone knows, please fill me in!

What I DO know is that this type of sports themed shirt is very rare – and with that cool Christmas colorway? Too cool! Add to that the size — LARGE!! Woot!

If this is your kind of thing, go check it out!

Just in time for Holiday parties!
