OH MY GOSH! Vanessa, that just rocks. There's no other way I can possibly express how amazing that is. Good find!

Thanks!

I bought 3 Pyrex baking sheets at a thrift store a few years ago, and lamented that I didnt have a set of 4.

Imagine my shock after looking for years on various sites to see these and super cheap!

So now I have 5 and Im so happy!
Squeee!!

Neat! My mother gave me my great grandmother's button box, I saw a few buttons that reminded me of you. If I can get my act together I'll see if I can take a picture of the more interesting ones. :

I got two pairs of these cute vintage earrings - one in red (as pictured) and the other in white.

Up close they look like they are made of coral, but I think they are some kind of ceramic. I love them!

Lovely earrings! They are probably carved celluloid.

new purchases:

confetti lucite compact

bakelite bracelet, on sale for $11!

vintage Warner brooch, though I have no idea when it would date from. Purchased as a gift for my mom

vintage roulette wheel cigarette dispenser, probably 50s. Same shape and dispenser style as one Don Draper has in Mad Men. The inside stem and tray have rust, though, and I'm not sure how to take the thing apart to clean it. Purchased as a gift for my boyfriend.

2 adorable vintage lighters I found. They are tiny! The lipstick-esque one is a little less than 2" tall, the rhinestone one is a little under 2" long and 1.5" tall.

my favorite skirt, it's from express but looks totally vintage, and there are very small pleats in it that are kind of hard to see

This robe I was told was from a woman's boyfriend that he sent to her after WW2

Cute dress! I would actually say early 60s.

Cute dress! I would actually say early 60s.

The skirt is wool, it's heavy but it still moves nicely like a skirt should

And thanks I was just guessing on the dress I really had no clue

I just bought this girdle on ebay last night. I'm excited about it. I'm a plus size woman and I'm delighted that they had something in my size. Plus, I think that the eyelet is really cute. This is my first time sharing a photo, so please excuse any mistakes!

Thanks so much! I can't wait to get my mitts on it!

You're right - Ken has some really,really beautiful dresses *sigh*

I was looking through knitting patterns and it seems most of mine are actually crochet or too advanced for me! So I picked these really cheap for buy-it-now.

Thanks, I really like it, but Im having an issue with the seller :rage: Im getting charged a 'handling fee' that was not listed on the auction, and they are expecting me to pay it because 'most people dont complain and its to offset costs of...blah blah blah'.

Im so tired of sellers dumping every single cost onto the buyer. Im paying a crazy amount to ship this and it weighs nothing, so Im not paying anymore.

Sorry, my rant for the day.

That's ridiculous. If they wanted you to pay the handling charge, they should put it with the cost of shipping. :rage: at them too!!

I finally was able to get a mink muff! I was the only bidder and I think I did pretty well:

 

[Lady Day]

I am so domesticated!!
