Today's Finds

Halloween is winding down (shopping season that is) so I figured that the stores would be pretty barren as far as vintage goodies go...but I was VERY presently surprised that there was plenty of fresh inventory to choose from...so much in fact I had to leave some behind. I'll start with my favorite piece..

This Alfred Shaheen dragon print wiggle dress with bolero.
built in belt and oriental stylings.
Do you know how long I've been looking for one of these? I found 2 Shaheen's in my 5 years of selling. One full skirt sun dress with smocked back and one 70s high slit tunic dress...very high slit.....and this makes 3...very excited!
Wool sheath dress with bubble ruffle sleeves...i love those.
this print make me happy :)
mid 60s houndstooth wiggle dress and bolero set

This isn't something I would've usually picked up...but it caught my attention and wouldn't let go. I bet it will look fantastic on the mannequin with the pin tucking on the jacket
check out this print! love it!
So lovely lighter than air robe
My hubs gave me the idea for a "sail" aka a nautical sale..I plan on stocking up on nautical goodies and having a big blow out in spring/summer.

Men's super light hawaiian shirt

I bought this one on etsy...i was expecting something smaller..like wallet size or hand size...so I guess I'll have to pass on this 40s Corde clutch with molded Lucite handle...

60s drop waist paisley, great for layering, autumn colors
YSL moth eaten hat...poor little thing I had to rescue its adorable kelly greenness from a thrifty...I don't think I'll get any collectors buying this hat because of the state of the wool....but I love when pieces aren't in perfect condition....you know they've got a story.

oh, and I picked up this sweet little corsage that I'll be making into a brooch...not sure yet if I'm going to sell this...its so cute i may just have to add it to my brooch collection.

TOMORROW is the 1st day of the 25% off sale.

I expect items to go fast with the deals that are going to be in the shop.
