Mmm, yes, gorgeous. I've done a bit of buying from Woodland Farm Antiques. Janet is really lovely to deal with, and a great selection of patterns. Shame I can never find a pair of shoes in my size!

I know!! I love her! She's the biggest sweetheart ever!

Ok, here's my newest little darlings.

San Diego hankie with Balboa Park on it! Gotta love that cause I'm a local.

And I'm really really hoping I didn't bid against any of you for this one, because the seller kept the user IDs private! I'm dying to make that bottom one in satin. Yummy!

Great buys ladies! I just watched Double Indemnity today and Barabra Stanwyck wore a blouse like the one in this bottom pattern and I thought to myself, wow, I've got to make myself a blouse like that thinking about thouse great dramatic sleeves and here it is.

Katydid, you are too cute for words, you look darling in that pink. I just bought some material similar to that print and was wondering what I might do with it.

Thanks Rosie! You're sweet to say so. I just can't gain any weight, the dress fits too perfectly and I need to reinforce the snaps on the sides because they are a bit loose.

Katydid, I love your cape! And you look too cute in everything!

 

[jitterbugdoll]

Katydid--I have this pattern, too. It's so cute!

I just won these yesterday! I hope they fit, I hope I hope I hope. I've been searching for a pair in my size for forever!

Also, my boyfriend went on a slight shopping spree a couple weeks ago and bought me two dresses, two hats, and two bags (not that he didn't spend an equal amount of money on himself too!) I just don't have pics yet and my camera software is givine me a royal pain but I'll post some pics as soon as I have them. The one dress is a sleeveless summer dress light red (but not quite pink) with cream polkadots with a matching jacket that's scallopped around the the edges with a double row of bakelite buttons down the front. It was more money than I would have paid but my boyfriend insisted so who was I to turn him down?

Those shoes are AMAZING!!

Katydid, I love your cape! And you look too cute in everything!

Thanks so much!!! The cape was a total steal.

Jitterbugdoll, have you made the dress yet? I love the sweetheart neckline and the gathering at the shoulders.

Katiemakeup, I just got those shoes yesterday and they fit! Hooray!!!

I got me navy blue Marlene trousers at.... H & M for 19,90 €!!!! They are lovely with little buttons in the front. I probably take photos with it this weekend if the weather stays fine. I plan to get more of those in different colours

I think, but could be wrong, that her son is Vintage Martini. Whatever, have you seen the 50s Ferragamo stilletos he has! I know 50s are a bit outside the era, but they are so fabulous. If I didn't have to cut my feet in half lengthwise to get into them.... Sorry, need a tissue, I'm drooling!

 

[decodoll]

I really, really, really splurged on these, but they were just too wonderful to pass up! I figure the money from the dress I just sold on ebay almost pays for them... Completely deadstock. The laces aren't even in yet.

 

[colleency]

DecoDoll, those shoes are too cute!

 

[Lauren]

Caledonia, indeed he is her son! They sell at the Santa Monica Vintage Expo once a year together

DecoDoll, as always, amazing shoes! Pretty crazy that the laces aren't even in yet!

 

[decodoll]

Thanks, girls! I can't wait to get them! They were a real splurge, but at least still less than a pair at Remix! (makes me feel better to think of it that way! )

 

[Rosie]

decodoll, those are very, very, very cute, good buy! :eusa_clap

 

[maisie]

Decodoll, gorgeous shoes! I saw them listed but they are only a 8M! Damn big feet!:rage: I hope they fit you as they will look super on!

 

[Caledonia]

Decodoll, I have to come round right now and cunningly dispose of you after forcing you to make out a will in my favour! Those are absolutely stunning. I've just spent the entire evening photographing my shoes and bags, so I can put some of my own favourites up shortly. But, I definitely do not have anything as covetable as those. Way to go!

 

[decodoll]

Thanks, Rosie!

Thank you, Maise! Actually, going by the measurements, they're only a 7. She better have measured right! She has over 2000 feedback and only 2 negatives, so I'm trusting her.

lol lol lol

I can't wait to see your collection! I'm sure that it's perfectly lovely.

Decodoll, somehow I missed something in this thread. I can't find the link to the seller of the shoes you are showing here. They are just completely adorable and I know they will be stunning on you!
