Hi everyone, ufff, it certainly has been I while since the last time i posted a comment.

I recently came back from that trip to China which one I enquired in here about nice printed fabrics and places to visit.

I will post some nice pics to that thread soon but i also would like to show you some of my goodies.

and some more

Fabrics are extremely cheap in there, come on, i got 9 mts of good denim fabric for just E3!!! That's just mad!!
I cant wait to start sewing with them!!!

Those fabrics have endless possibilities and they are are super cute! Yes, you must post pics when you are finished sewing with them. I hope you had a pleasant trip and by the looks of your goodies, you did some excellent shopping too.

An amazingly beautiful, never used, 50's bullet bra. It is made out of corded pink satin and some net reinforcing on the inside. Sadly way too big for me in all dimensions, but I so love it! Maybe I should try to reproduce it for my size I have a peachy satin that would be perfect.

NEAT. This is really beautifully constructed.

I love this!!! If you ever copy it then want to sell it...think of me! (if it's my size of course).

I got this umbrella today at a new vintage/rummage shop downtown; I love the multiple spines and the pagoda top. It will be perfect for the Edward Gorey Garden Party in a few weeks.

I would TOTALLY buy that from you! lol I've been looking for an umbrella like that for ages, especially now since I live in Washington state.

Everyone has had some amazing finds since I was last here. I'm especially fond of that pink bra, Medvssa. Do you happen to have the measurements for it?

Oak Harbor is beautiful; I lived there for a summer back in the early 90's and have always wanted to go back. The bin of umbrellas was full to overflowing today; it seems to be the season for them.

I've found a few things over the past few weeks.

$24 at an antique store! There were a few more pairs of 30's pumps and oxfords, but they were a tad bit too small and I didn't have the spare cash

These original fruit labels were from the same store as the wedges. I think they'd make a great addition to my non-existent kitchen decor.

Funny story about this one: it was only $8 since the moths had gotten to it pretty bad--notably in the crotch area, but it was my size! I had been searching for a 30's suit for a looong time, but I couldn't bring myself to spend what Glamoursurf was asking. So I went to this store four times in a week just to look at the darn thing and carry it around. lol I normally would have just bought it right away, but I had spent quite a bit already, and the moth holes were holding me back. I finally caved, though. I was thinking of making a pattern from it since I found some neat fabric at JoAnn (and it's not wool!), but I hate to take apart an item like this [huh]

Wonderful purchases ladies! I just bought this (new) handmade brooch - it's a bakelite poker chip and glass and lucite cherries, the seller has some cute yellow scottie ones I am coveting too.

crazydaisy · May 30, 2009

That's so pretty Fleur! Where did you get it from?

Thanks! I'd bet money this is a Cole of California swim dress. I'm in love with vintage leopard patterns. Just a bad gal at heart I guess!

Lolita · May 30, 2009

just ordered these shoes,planning on wearing them with either a knee-length vintage dress or a 50's pencil skirt

Forever21

La Julia · May 30, 2009

I think both can work, cute

I got this pack with the red family number cards going up to 13. The Black families go to 12. Ive never had a deck like this, I have to figure out which games I can play with them.

and this one:

I've never worn a bullet bra before----any pointers (no pun intended!)

If the bra isn't sheer, you might want pads to fill out the extra room in the tips of the cups. From what I've seen bullet bras rarely fit gals with smaller cup sizes who don't have a lot of flesh to fill out the tips. I ordered this bra awhile back and sadly had to return it. I've tried a lot of bullet bras, even modern ones, and they never fit.

Depends on the person, I guess. Miss Bella has this same one and it apparently fits her beautifully.
