Yes - Jacquard! Many thanks! Leisa

Oh thanks, Linn. All of the fabric has this weave. I can't get a pic of the back of the fabric as this is a lined tie. Maybe this pic makes more sense? The light parts are actually raised. It's all very 3D-ish.

Oh duh. Would it be a Modern Damask?

What do you call this sculptured effect on this fabric, please? All I can think of is embossed & that is waaay off. It's 100% silk. I hope you can see what I'm asking about. Not the actual print, but the way the silk fabric has a 'carved' look in the background. Thanks ever so - Leisa

Oh, there's no way I can get into a vintage 8B, Darn - those are Perfect, too, Maggie. So, I'm still on my quest, but I have at least a month to worry about it. Thanks!

Ohhhhhhh... I Like Goth Glam. Thanks, vintage diva. Thanks, patentleathershoes for the search suggestion. I have done searches to see similar shoes / styles. And I always put all the pertinent info in the title. Size is the one thing I Always fit in. Nothing's worse than...

Nope. not B'Wood. More like Taiwan. Or at least that's what was 'suggested' to me. ROFLMAO

Oh poo. Well, you're a doll for looking! Not yet, but I have time. I may even find a retro pair at payless or a similar store ya know? And the B&M's are all having big ol summer sales, so ... I'd like them to be vintage, but I'll settle for what I can get. I was going to go...

I love these shoes but they kill me so it's time for them to go! My question is - do you think I can make a Bollywood ref in the description or even in the title? And if in the title, is there an Acronym for that? Many Thanks! Just three days til ...

It's truly amazing, Holly. Needs to worn by a redhead. ;-)

That's awesome! And the suit is breathtaking! Bravo!

It's hard, isn't it? I miss her every day. :wub:

Hi Linn - No, my dates are right. My Mom was born in 1919. She passed in 1994. If she'd lived 2 more days, she would have been 75. My dad was born in 1903. He was 50 when I was born. Surprise! :spin: Maybe I have the grandmother's mixed up. Maybe this belonged to my Grandmother & the...

Thanks! I was told by an antique dealer that the tubes were bone. But now that I look at them with the loop, they DO appear to be rather like wood. So I think a treated bamboo may be right. The ends are discolored & look almost like they were burned to cut them. Of course, that could also...

Wanted: White 50\'s-60\'s pumps ... for my Mad Men entry. Size 8.5 or 9M or 9N or AA I am going thrifting soon, but if anyone has a pair that are on the inexpensive side, please let me know. This style is perfect, but I need them to be white. Wait til ya see the dress! Many...

LOL It's good to know I ain't the only drain bed gal here. G'Night - I'll check back tomorrow.

One Last Jewelry Question & I Swear I\'ll Stop! Thanks again - I promise, No More Jewelry Questions after this! I could use some KW help with this choker. I'm running on empty here... All I can think of is Slave Necklace, but that isn't right. I suppose I could just call it a...

How CUTE is she??? I'm no help, but I do love her!

Check on the Czech; C. 1925-1930. ;-) Great Grandmother passed away in the late 20's or early 30's. Mom said G-G Ma had kept this necklace for a long time. Mom was born in 1919. Now why didn't I think to ever ever tap these on my teeth? The verdict is in & they are Glass! I love...

Anne! Thanks for weighing in on this! You Rock. Can celluloid be transparent like these are? I always think of it as having the opaque quality of the vanity sets. hmmmm...

Oh Cool! You just gave me some great KWs & description terms, Laura. :adore:

Ahhh, you are so sweet Laura. I'll post the shell necklace later this month. I'm trying to get as many listings ready as I can for Christmas in July. I just was so very curious about this necklace & am truly grateful for everyone's help. The flowers feel more like plastic, but maybe...

LOL! Thanks! That pic is one of my fab drag queen pals. If he can make himself look like that - I'm good to go!

Oh! It's way cool & there is a matching necklace w / a different hallmark on ebay right now. I believe my set is an earlier one - as in late 40's or early 50's. It's not real stones. I'm convinced it's enamel. But maybe it's faux stones. Here ya go: Oh! Just realized you said...

Laura - The 'jewels' really don't feel like glass, but they could be? I don't know that it ever had a gold wash, but that would make sense with the brass or gold toned clasp. I just assumed the clasp had been replaced at one time. I have never ever done anything to the necklace. I was...

Here are 2 shots of the back. <img src="http://i28.tinypic.com/10y04ep.jpg". Thanks so much - Again! :wub:

Oh I don't mind one bit! Thanks so much! Here's the best I can do for a shot of my clasp. My landlady just looked at it & she believes it's actually silver. But there are no marks & the clasp & hook look more like brass. The clasp cover has a lovely little butterfly on it. I wish I...

I can not get a pic of the clasp because my dumb camera hates anything small. It's an ornate cover with a little hook that goes inside that. I'll see if I can find a decent pic of one that's at least similar to mine. BRB

I found it! I found it! YAY, Me!!! Bell Trading Post - In business from 1935 to the late 1980s, the Bell Trading Post (also Bell Copper) was founded in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and named after the founder Jack Michelson's wife, Mildred Bell. The company sold Indian jewelry at tourist...

Well, this pretty darn old thang is seriously thinking about entering. LOL! Pancake makeup is definitely on my list! I can get one of my fab drag queen pals to do my face. wheeeeee!
