@Marla: I wish I was part of that brooch club too. It looks lovely

@Wahine: I hope you can get that fixed without too much input. Would be a shame if it was reduced to decorating.

I got some nice things today on the flea market:

2 magazines from 1953 including patterns, Schachenmayr knitting and crocheting tutorials from 1934

Details and more hats in the blog.

Call me daredevil: I'm trying to fix it myself. Not all alone though, I logged into a record player board and receive a great deal of help.

Those Brigitte magazines are marvellous! Is there another picture of the pink dress in the middle inside the magazine? Is the top a jacket or a stole?
And another of those asymmetric hats, suits you very well. :thumb:

This 1950's dress - I love the fabric, the detailing on the bodice and the colour of the flowers:

This was cheapo too! And apparently what looks like discolored spots are nothing at all....score for me!

I had to return this - too small - so if anyone wants to give it a shot it is listed here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/77723181/sizem-l-50s-cotton-shirt-dress-large

Damn my womanly hips! I would have gone for that.

Katinka - gorgeous hat!

This flawless dress, perfect fit and very comfortable!

@wahine: The dress doesn´t appear a second time. It´s also not on the pattern. But there´s other nice things inside

@Stray Cat: Me too, me too!

I picked up another head vase at the Christie's Antique Show yesterday - And this time, I know it's real lol

(PS, I've posted a nurse head vase in the classifieds!)

I recently bought these Clarks brogues and absolutely adore them, they are so comfy and dainty (even though the stock photo makes them look clunky, they aren't):

I love them so much I also got the black and white, and may love these even more.

I bought these from a friend, they're at least 100 years old according to her calculations and she only asked for 30 euros! I'm still feeling like I got my xmas present half a year in advance <3
(they're a narrow size 38 1/2, and made in extremely soft leather, so unbelievably comfortable to wear!)

Miss sofia · Sep 23, 2011

Lovely! What a find!

Wow! Looks like kidskin to me, lucky you

I think it's my favourite pair of shoes indeed ^_^

Lovely! Have you taken them to a cobbler for a cleaning and condition? They look so clean! I just tend to do that with all my newly acquired vintage shoes. I get nervous about them and want them to last.
