Bee-yoo-tee-ful coat--in my fave color, no less! Red cashmere--it doesn't get any better than that! Einiger camelid wools are top shelf! Apparently a huge name in the 50s and into the 60s, from what I found when I did some research a couple years ago. I had an Einiger vicuna coat that was...

Perhaps Claire would be interested, or know of someone who would be--you might want to U2U her.

Kim, it's butt ugly and I would be more than happy to take it off your hands--you can send it directly to me, and be done with it.... :D I'm sure I can find something to do with it...

I HATE it when eBay starts fixing things that aren't broken... Every time I go to list something (which isn't often, but I just did it a couple months ago), it takes me 4-ever because they've gone and changed something and it takes me eons to figure it out, because what they've done makes no...

You could call it a "spicy, frothy confection that will last you forever because it will never be on you for very long."

Adorable, and I'm with Deborah--looks more 60s than 70s to me!

Wow--great stuff, everyone! Gotta get goin' on mine....

Mary, it is pink-pink! The lighting gave it a more "orangey" cast than it really is. The ribbon is pink, but a deep salmon-like pink. Huh? Where'd my other photo go????? I musta lost it--oh, well, not a big deal....

MJ, what a great selection! I love that 50's vinyl-covered needlepoint... I want one like it!!!!

Breathtaking.... I'm sure we'll never see the likes of the old-fashioned department store displays again, much to my dismay and culture's loss.

Hacking off the top of that perfectly wearable, adorable dress is far, far, far worse than shortening a maxi dress to make it wearable, IMHO. Lots of vintie lovers would have paid good money for the dress in "as was" condition.... I'm not an inflexible purist when it comes to making a...

And here is my first prom/party dress of the season, coming to Vintage Baubles this week, this PINK shelf-bust, full-skirt party dress:

Wow! Thanks for posting this, Lei! I get my HuffPosts in my e-mail, but rarely have time to read them!!!! Her fashions were simply awesome, IMHO. I love all the ones they pictured, but a couple of them are drool-inspiring--the one-shouldered black, and that draped goddess-style light blue one...

Very lovely--that buckle clasp gives it a really "in" designer look. I agree with Carrie on dating, based not on any knowledge I have of Ciner, but on some faux pearl & rhinestone strands I've had of similar dating (but not such dramatic styling).

I tend to agree with KK; I'm thinking 30s on this set, which is lovely!

Amanda, I think the changeover started in the early 70s or very late 60s--not too many years after the advent of the zip code. I'm sure I can remember late in my high-school years or in college having the teachers drill into us that in running copy you were to still use the old abbreviations...

Well, c'mon, KK--let's have the scoop on you!!!!

Maryalice, wow--I want to shop menswear at your store! Fabulous--great-looking displays and great-looking merchandise! I can see why you sell a lot of men's vintage--what discriminating gentleman wouldn't want to shop in your store?

It's wonderful reading about everyone--we have quite an eclectic bunch here! I note that we seem to have quite a few horsewomen here. Like Lei, I was/am horse crazy and dropped out of college to attend Potomac Horse Center and get my horsemaster's certification. Started working at a show...

Men\'s Vintage--an opportunity? I was thrifting this a.m. and came across the most beautiful men's suits--some modern, some vintage--which got me to thinking.... Could not this current economy be a great opportunity for those selling men's vintage wear? Quality men's suits and overcoats...

Thanks for posting, and, oh dear, I meant to mention that, yes, we have quite a few friends from north of the border here--many, in fact. Don't want to leave out our Canadian buddies!

Let\'s play... \"Getting to Know You\" "Getting to know you. Getting to know you, getting to know all about you. Getting to like you, getting to hope you like me. Getting to know you, putting it my way, But nicely, You are precisely, My cup of tea." Let's have a Fun Friday and...

Wonderful, as always, Maggie! :USETHUMBUP: Very creative in setting up the fans; how DO you get inspiration for stuff like that?

Fab dress, Deborah! And, LOL, my first thought was a solid cusper--very late 60s/very early 70s. That psychedelic-looking print would be just about right for that timeframe. I expect it's teeny-tiny, right?

Hi, can you post a photo of something similar? Thanks! And congrats on the upcoming nuptials!

I have a DVF wrap dress in my inventory.... somewhere. I'll have to see if I can dig it out and post a pic! I haven't listed it yet because I have no idea what price to put on it. It was included with the inventory of Vintage Baubles when I purchased the business, and I thought the previous...

Wonderful new site, Harriet! Easy to navigate, clean, not a lot of fuss-fuss on it. What I love about it is that it has a "different" look to it. Sometimes vintage apparel sites tend to look a lot alike, with similar colors, typefaces, etc., but yours doesn't look like that. Which I love...

Yes, they're great for paint--instead of dragging around a gallon or quart if you're just touching up or don't need the whole can at the moment. Or for storing pens & pencils on a desk, or markers. Or keeping those odd bits of broken jewelry in for spare parts. Also great for jewelry that you're...

That is a very chic bag, and I agree with 60s on this. The shape makes me think mid to late 60s, although the attached change purse does give it an earlier feel. But I'll stick with mid to late!

Yeah, I often say something to the effect that "nobody will notice this unless they have their eyeball right up next to it, and anyone you know well enough to get that close to won't mind the flaw." Or, and it's true, of course, that evening wear won't show minor flaws due to the lighting.
