Show Us Your Purchases!

Today I had a lot of fun vintage shopping downtown. My favorite purchase was this taupe dress. I feel like it is something that Lucille Ball would have worn!

A few weeks ago I stumbled upon a Lilli Ann coat at my favorite local vintage shop. The best part? It only cost me $40!

Perfect condition too. It was such a steal!

Last summer I went to a garage sale that advertised "lots of fabric, never used". I figured it was going to be the usual cutesy quilting cotton I usually find at garage sales, but instead it was someone getting rid of her mother's fabric and patterns. Some of the patterns were from the 30's. I was in absolute heaven, I went back twice to get more stuff. This is some of the fabric and patterns.


Sadly, the rayon on top is shredding throughout the length. The red pattern, purple polka dots and the one on the bottom with the white background have all been turned into dresses, I hoping to get a few more sewn up in the next few weeks.

Nice vintage finds It's a shame about that rayon though

It sure is. There is enough for a dress there, but it just can't be salvaged. I'm hanging onto it just to look at it though
