Beautiful!

A few items I found at one of our city's better antique malls:
Heather Co. rouge, still has the pad and some make-up in it. I'd love to smudge a bit on one day and see how bright it is compared to my blushers, especially since this one is labeled "daytime."
This satin covered little box was hiding in a corner under a pile of other items and I almost passed it up.
I flipped it over to find it was a vintage powder box from Paris!
Opened it up to find it was long cleaned out before the seller obtained it...the owner kept it to save her keepsakes in (which weren't there, sadly but don't you love finding little notes like this in things?)
It says "Tiny thimble was mine from my mother Gold thimble from France Dollar is first one earned"
Max Factor powder box...the lid is metal, the bottom says the color was "Brunette." It still smells nice inside.The Coty box is not quite vintage I think as the label on the bottom has a bar code, but it looks nicer than the plastic one they make now so...I got it.

I've almost stopped buying clothes since I feel I have all I need, my wardrobe is full, and even more importantly, I don't want to have even more stuff to bring with me when I move to the States. So mostly I buy doll clothes for my Blythe and maybe some jewelry for me, tiny things that don't take up space. However, I've been on a bit of an orange binge; a color I used to hate but now love more than anything!

Cherry Lips - orange is one of my favourite colours - in fact I have a beret very similar to yours!
I got this the other day - a dress by B Altman:

Cherry lips, I love the picture of you! The dress is very pretty!
When and where are you moving to?n In 3 weeks it'll be two years since I left Europe. Still can't believe it!
