My Lucky Troll Helped Me Find This Fringe Dress

[listitcafe]

At the thrift! On a Saturday.... Who knew... I think it is 1930's.... No label but it must have been made by someone.... The condition is pretty good. It need a cleaning....The jacket is in fragile condition, but better than I thought The fringe is very heavy so I am suprised it is not inpeices.. There are some minor holes and some staining on jacket lining.... and the belt is still there....What luck... Iam now adopting the troll and putting it in my will..

Here are some rough picts... I will post this on public side too...

Hi,

What a fabulous dress! Do you think the troll has any brothers or sisters? I would like 1st dibs on any other one you might find. You keep lucking out since he came into your life...are you bringing him in the car with you? Inquiring minds want to know...

He does have some brothers, but they have not been so lucky.... I am looking the dress more closely despite it needs a cleaning its in very good condition... This thrift never has anything on Saturdays..... The older dresses I get are usually through dealer who I trade with who dont want clothing.....

now Iam curious to how this beauty made it to thrift and not an antique shop..... And I wonder if there other things.... But I doubt it... I have to ask the troll... Who has no name....

Picture of troll for people on public side... He is 36 inches high.... never seen them this big so Iam keeping him for luck and he has been great.... Last week we got a bakelite handbag....

I have a lucky denim embroidered fishing shirt. I wore it when I caught my 12 lb. bass. Do you think that would work like your troll?

I dont know if can crossplatform these sort of things.... You can try .... You never know.....

Does the presence of the troll do this or do you have to rub its head before you leave?

Just the place of honor and the fact that I have traded him with a freind who loves this stuff has brought me luck.... When I first bought the troll... I thought it was cool... I also bought a 1940's bag from same lady.... The lady seeing I liked the troll offered to bring me more bags the next day... So I scored some more bags due to the troll and every weekend since I have been really lucky without really trying.....I have been too caught up with my design business have had little time for thrifting and garage saling....

This dress is such a fluke.... I am amazed I found it....

He really is one of the most amusing trolls I have seen...reminds me of the old Saturday Night gag with the alien coneheads from France!
