Oh Linn.. i love it.. its just darling!

The belt is a great match, but would be fun to change to match your shoes and bag.

I'm on a "buying haitus".. personal & business, till i clear some of this out ~ which is really hard.. lol..

Love love love those chairs, julie!

... Johnny Depp was ALWAYS hot!

I'm really not buying for myself either right now, except in a recent vintage jewel haul I'm stealing this one for me!
It's a sterling & jelly opal brooch

 

Oh...My...God!!! You know I thinking WAY back, and the reason I started shopping in thrift stores was becasue of Jonny Depp - he did, we're both Canadaian, I thought maybe we would bump into each other someday (I was 13 ok?? what can I say!) - he said there was something about a jean jacket that was already broken in for him he just loved (or something like that)...so that is awesome! I was so in love with him back then *sigh*... Sorry :embaressed: I had a moment there

 

Linn, I think that belt looks beautiful with the dress. Very pretty!

 

I've just bought this dress for myself. It's by Papillon. I don't wear black very much these days but I think it looks so chic and it looks incredible on - even though I do say so myself!

 

Very nice dress Louise - I bet it looks amazing with the runched (is that the right word) waist, I had a shirt like that once, so flattering. Oh Linn, yours is great too - I just got too disctacted by Jonny Depp to think of anything else right then :bouncy:

So, a shopping hyatus is what I need - but my goodness, I just keep finding stuff I want at good prices so what's a girl to do right? lol - here's a few of my latest for my personal collection (just need to lose about 10 more lbs and they'll fit perfect!), some for sale maybe later, not sure yet...



These belts, which I know nothing about but that they're cool



And a few purses I just couln't resist.



So speaking of a hyatus I better get my etsy store set up one of these days or I'll be forced into one myself...off to work I go! I love your thread ideas Linn!

 

Those mini dresses are too cute!

 

Linn, I love the colors in that perky shirtwaist. And coffeegril, I really like that plastic beaded bag made of sewn-together hexagons! And the gold hard-boiled-egg brocade! Heh.

I went to a doctor appointment last week a bit out of my neck of the woods and as it happened I went on the wrong day and found myself in a neighborhood I'm not very familiar with with some extra time on my hands. I've been feeling energetic, really good, for several weeks now, and when I passed an unfamiliar antique mall I couldn't resist the siren's call. I swear I haven't been poking around in an antique mall (or an estate sale) since before I ruptured my appendix last August! So in I went, nearly whistling with pleasure, feeling on top of the world.

Well, that's where I found that cute little "mechanical" sailor pin. I also found these two brooches (60s, I think?), and I thought they were so pretty, and very affordable, and I bought them for resale, knowing nothing about costume jewelry. But now I can't give them up! The Monet glass, enamel and rhinestone "daisy" I'll wear on my pink wool coat, and I've already worn the enameled forget-me-nots on a pink floral Orlon cardigan. They're both about 2-1/4 inches wide:





This buying jewelry thing could become a real habit. Linn, if you ever come to Portland I'll take you to this place if you give me some pointers!

 

And I don't generally even like Monet! But I sure fell in love with this one.

 

Hi, sorry everyone, my name's Val - I can't have a siggy yet, but I'll try to remember to post it at the bottom of threads. We went for a little trip this weekend and I got some 1970's Sears and Eatons Catalogs and a few other mag's just to see the styles (the 70's one's I want to see the shoes - lol they're more of a wish list than anything else!) I got a few pairs of shoes and a GREAT maxi dress - I was looking at broaches and I got a couple but I think they're newer, I love the 60's stuff - the jewlery and stuff, I have none of that - alot of where I got Marc to stop (much batting of eyelashes - he calls it "stuff we don't need" I call it "inventory" lol) were really over priced (would you pay $85 for a Sears or Eton's Catalog?? I sure wouldn't I waited and got some for $3 on the way home )...I have to get on my pics and listings, I'm way behind! TTY all soon! Love all the new stuff!!
