    SOLD - Charcoal Gray Dress, Angora Trim Collar w/Button Details larger size

    SALE PENDING A lovely dress, but sadly I've kind of lost interest in it! It was sold to me as 40's, but I'm not too great at dating vintage clothing, so I'll let some of the more experienced ladies be the judge of that. It is vintage, tag indicates a 20 1/2 (fits a modern day 14...

    Wanted - Vintage necklace chains

    I'm searching for some vintage necklace chains; gold-toned or silver-toned, and thinner/light weight. Tangled, no clasps, and tarnished are ok by me. I'd also take any mis-matched earrings or the like (missing posts ok, missing stones, we'll talk.) I "re-purpose" vintage items into jewelry...

    AAGPBL

    I am a baseball junkie. I love it past and present. This weekend my hubby and I watched the Ken Burns' film "Baseball" and my favorite section covers the 1940s-1950s and the All American Girls Professional Baseball League. I was doing some looking online, and found this site - thought it...

    Lovely Ladies Gloves

    My hubby and I went to the antique shop today and I spotted these pretty gloves. They are much too small for me, but I couldn't just leave them laying there! I thought maybe one of you could give them a good home! Both are a cream/ecru color and I believe they are around a size six. Both...

    MSN .NET Passport Sign-In?

    Is any one else getting a pop-up to sign in to MSN when visiting this site? I've just noticed it today; no rhyme or reason to it really. Just pops up and asks me to sign in to .NET Passport. Is it just me? [huh]

    "Remember" on PBS

    Last week, one of our local PBS stations aired a show called Remember: 1946. Did any one else happen to see it? I'm not sure how often it's on, but I do know they have other years featured (this Thursday 2/8, they are featuring 1956). My hubby and I only caught the last half of the show on...

    Vintage-Inspired Clothes@ Fashion Bug!

    I normally don't shop at Fashion Bug, simply because I never think about it! Last night I stopped in to pick up a cute sweater and was having a look around and they carry a line called "Studio 1940" which has some really cute looking outfits! And seeing as it's Fashion Bug, they also have normal...

    FS - Blue dress, sz 14

    Here is another eBay purchase gone awry. I bought this because it looked really cute on the model, but once I received it and tried it on, it looked ridiculous on me! I don't know the dating on this one - the tag reads "Anthony Richards." It is a size 14 (it was a little big on me, and I vary...
