Hi! It’s been a long time since I posted here.. in fact so long I hope I still get it right! I’ve used thumbnails as not sure if images will be too big. I have this fairly early pouch/work bag that I’d like to date more precisely. The embroidery looks like it has been hand done on a silk woven...

A gentleman came into the shop at the weekend, and was chatting to my partner about a really interesting project, based in the School of History at the University of Leeds. The team of researchers and advisors, however, hail from Universities in many other countries so it isn't just UK-centric...

Hello! Years since I've had time to post here, but the smallest one's impending entry into the world of education means I have been able to return, or at least will do very shortly! I happened upon this the other night on BBC iplayer and really enjoyed it in a totally fashion related sense so...

Hello :) Just thought I'd post this as it's local to me and I've lent a few dresses.. but even if I hadn't I would be looking forward to it! In a gorgeous Elizabethan house and grounds in Lincolnshire, it runs throughout August and having met the organiser I think it will be really...

New shop is nearly ready to open, and I'm about to start listing autumn/winter stuff on the website so decided to have a little 'end of season' sale on ebay with auctions and reduced price buy it nows... Check out the listings here, more to come over the week...

Never, ever organised enough to sneak preview these, sorry(*slaps own wrist*) but I am moving premises so am having a little purge of shop stock in the hope I'll have a bit less to shift - plus I have new stock waiting to come out at the new shop! Collecting more to photograph tomorrow so...

I need various wedding dress buttons (covered type) in both lace and satin. Anything considered, could buy modern replacements but would rather use old/salvaged stock or maybe any matching glass sets (need 15 for one set, 14 for another). Thanks!

Just out of interest - am about to list a 70s Lanvin rtw nylon jersey print number which features a pheasant (or rather ex-pheasant) design, shooting style. I have seen the odd other item in a similar style (think there was a fox stole print dress on ebay recently) and wondered if anyone...

Finally paid off my new car after two years of rebuild and part payments.. I picked it up on Christmas eve! It's a 1972 Austin Mini :wub: And you may not be able to tell but inside is bright blue tartan! It's from a later car but I loved it so in it went... I'd completely forgotten...

On all orders placed before 1st January 2008. Need to make room for more goodies! :party: http://www.tastyvintage.com :hiya:

Just a few quick pics of the reason I've been so quiet lately. Looking forward to 4 days off straight now! Merry Christmas everyone! :hiya:

I will hopefully add the measurements etc. on Monday evening, so for once this really does count as an official sneak preview (instead of my usual two days after-the-fact..) Fab black taffeta Reich original with rhinestone strip at bodice in about a UK12/14 Quintessentially 50s pink...

Anyone know the label \'martinique, London\' I bought a (pretty sure it's) 70s maxi skirt today in a very pucci style velvet print. Labelled Martinique, London. Just wondered if anyone knew it? I'll post a picture later. :USETHUMBUP:

As I have to say my half body thing is all well and good but I just can't sell trousers on her as she only goes to mid thigh! Off to pick her up on Friday from the very nice seller, hopefully I can make it there and back in school hours :)...

Lincoln fair was OK sale wise, but I think I spent half of my takings on myself.. Here's a quick snap of my new coat :D It's actually a bit darker in colour. I loved it as it's a Cojanan 'petite' so good for me at 5'4! Failed to take any other pictures so you just get to see what I...

Lei and I will both be there! It's at the Engine Shed on the University campus in the centre of town, and there were some really beautiful things there last time so well worth a visit! for more info visit: http://www.ashleyhallfairs.co.uk :hiya:

Back in the swing! I have decided to ignore the miserable weather and concentrate on party dresses and smart autumn outfits instead, these and a few more updated last night and more to come very shortly.. I'll try and remember to actually make those a sneak preview! beaded dress and matching...

I bought this the other day for myself to wear this winter. It's a bit big so I'll probably take it in a bit - I'm also trying to work out how the suede thonging tied originally? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290160900768 There are only two (long) strips of suede...

I always pick up older scarves etc. as I am a sucker for a great print. I have a few older Jacqmar ones that I think are 'more' collectable (40s to 50s), one of which I am pretty sure is an Arnold Lever design of a market place, another enormous silk one with the Royal Opera House in Covent...

After a loooong summer holiday with much inactivity for me online (I did do other stuff though, honest!) I am now excited about updating the website for autumn.. so I've put some five day listings on ebay to make space, some website stock and a couple as yet unseen: Click to view! :hiya:

I have no picture just yet, as this is something I'd sell at the antiques centre rather than online. Just wondered if any Scots where around (Rosine?) that could advise, I have a black velvet doublet, that I think is traditional evening dress, or possible for dancing. It's doubled...
