Set of two iron owl bookends--distressed

Sun, 20 Dec 2009 23:37:52 -0500

$13.50
These owls are the utmost in simplicity and in style. They are nice iron construction and function perfectly. In case you can't tell by the pictures, they are in need of some restoration. Basically, they were painted black and the paint has worn/been scratched away--leaving the iron beneath to suffer corrosion.

I will polish them up for you or we can sand and restore the finish. If you would like us to restore these bookends for you, please be aware that the price will increase :)

Otherwise, the price is listed "as found."

All that being said, you'll love these book ends.

$90.00
With a row of 25 lace covered buttons marching up the back, two layers of tulle and a liberal sprinkling of iridescent sequins and seed bead pearls, this wedding confection is a dream come true. The inimitable Grace Kelly would have been proud to wear such a lovely garment.

As I said, this is a lovely garment but it does have some flaws. It will need a professional cleaning and there are age spots to the lace and taffetta underskirt.The lace shows some yellowing and crinkling (possibly needs to be pressed?) Fabric is sturdy. Small bit of rust in back where hook and eye are joined to lace. This spot is covered by bustle.

Tough little bag with a cocoa olive vinyl outside, brown stitching and caramel suede inside. Bag is in great condition, strap is a little stiff but will definitely loosen up with time and attention!

$78.00
This amazing blue velvet gown is just right for a special night. The understatedly elegant puffed sleeves accentuate a modest scoop neckline which falls to a princess fitted waist and a 1/2 circle skirt. With all these deliciously beautiful parts, the whole really does exceed the sum!

Twirl the night away or sit sedately watching the merriment. Either way, all eyes are sure to be on you. If you're looking for truly effortless femininity, look no further than this gem of a gown!

No rips or tears. A few barely noticeable darker discolorations to the blue velvet. I tried to photograph one on the shoulder but it's so faint that it did not appear in the photo at all! I believe that a good dry cleaning could correct any flaws. One pulled thread left side above bust near neckline. Tiny rough patch front off center.

Peacock blues and greens Samsonite train case

Wed, 16 Dec 2009 14:01:34 -0500

$29.99
Love the colors on this unique Samsonite! The blues and greens are mottled together, making this case nearly iridescent. The strap is different from most other train cases as well--looking more like a transition from the full shoulder strap to the hand grip that is more common.

Note that the metal outer trim has been removed from this train case. Also, a slight bit of crackling to the vinyl of the handle. Nothing serious on the handle. Some wear to the body of the case. Slight dent on right front side.

Overall, in very good condition. Completely usable. Did not come with mirror originally.

Vintage hearts and flowers round dance ensemble

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 21:51:41 -0500

$34.99
With its cute little yoked neck and adorable full circle skirt, this ensemble will be the talk of the party. It's even great for dancing because this outfit comes complete with its own set of complementary knickers!! They are solid black with bias tape constructed of the hearts and flowers fabric.

This little set was made for a couple who round danced and so is knee length. Dress is shown with a crinoline beneath (not included) to give you an idea of its adorable fullness.

Dress is in excellent condition with a side metal zipper. Neck yoke is constructed somewhat oddly. I believe it may have been taken in to provide more modesty for the original wearer? May be adjusted by wearer.

This dress is hand tailored and the seams are not enclosed so some raveling of inner seams may occur when you wash the item. This does not affect the wearability of your garment! Simply clip any loose threads and go about your merry way!

Lovely white acrylic mohair capelet

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 21:17:45 -0500

$35.00
This little shawl was eventually bought for my November wedding. As most November days in Florida, my wedding day was too warm to need it!

The shawl is in overall good condition. Due to the delicate nature of the knit, some threads have pulled from the pattern. Most of these pulls are actually on the inside of the garment and so do not affect appearance. One damaged square on left back.

$34.99
This beautiful blue ensemble comes complete with long pantaloons (not pictured). Twirl your heart away in this super comfortable tiered full circle skirt. The bodice is fitted and darted to complement nicely the fullness of the skirt.

And, what could be better than a matching set of pantaloons/knickers to keep you modest as you spin? These dresses go straight out so you best have some cute underpinnings! :)

Dress and pantaloons are embellished with gold trim and rick-rack, which really adds to this item being used for dancing. However, if you're not a fan of gilded clothing embellishments, I believe they CAN be removed! Dress closes with metal back zipper and hook and eye closure. Pants close with zipper, no button.

Nice leather stitching at tops of shoes. Note the nice shine we have been able to impart to these shoes--but they do have some flaws!! Scuffs to backs of shoes, leather shows wear right at bend at top of foot. Heels are in great shape. Toe soles are quite worn. One small imperfection to leather on left side of the toe of the left shoe. Barely noticeable. Note as well that some sort of insole is inside shoes. May be removable but I did not want to force it!

Overall, shoes are completely wearable and are quite a find!

Atomic era General Electric Starburst wall clock

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 09:21:47 -0500

$29.99
Amazing clock and, because of a few issues, you can have it for a song! Metal and plastic construction, this clock is fully functioning.

Some minor cosmetic issues with the metal "rays": some tarnishing, one of the rays is slightly off-kilter. Plastic facing over the clock was broken and so has been removed. Easy repair if you have a non-working clock of this size lying around. (Would need a cover with just under a 7 inch diameter)

Entire clock body has a 20 inch diameter.

Original clock workings. Everything about this clock is great except for the cosmetic issues outlined above!

Really, this is your chance to have one of these iconic clocks for a fraction of the price!!

Cherry Red Sears' luggage hanging bag

Wed, 09 Dec 2009 10:14:42 -0500

$34.99
Wow. I have never seen a piece of luggage quite like this one! Glorious red color and near immaculate condition on the inside of the case. Though the bag has no outer pockets, the clasps open to reveal a very roomy storage space inside AND a brief-case sized expandable pocket! With reinforced metal bars inside the clothing compartment, this soft sided piece of luggage affords your items some of the protection of a hard sided suitcase!

Bag measures 51 inches long and 4 inches wide. Good luck getting it on an airplane but it's just what the doctor ordered for those of us who prefer lovely road trips by auto!

Please take note of photos as there is some damage to the outer vinyl. I believe most of this damage has taken place while in storage because the inside is in such great shape!

Sorry, but due to the heavy weight and size of this item, I am unable to offer international shipping at a reasonable rate. If you feel you would like this item shipped internationally anyway--please let me know and I will provide you with a shipping quote.

Although the apron can fit a range of sizes, this apron is best fitted for a S-M. The bib is fairly narrow at 11 inches wide, so please take that into consideration if you are wanting a full coverage apron!

American Tourister Train Case--Blue Steele

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 18:06:28 -0500

$24.99
LOVE the color on this traincase! Maybe you've seen it before, but I have not. It's like a beaten metallic bluish grayish look. Very striking and in excellent condition.

No tray or mirror.

Latch on left hand side (facing user) sticks a bit. Perhaps just needs some lubricant.

Lovely vintage quilting squares--take a look

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 18:06:28 -0500

$12.50
In this collection are 88 squares of vintage fabric--probably just enough for a small sampler or even a dolly quilt. Actually, I suppose the possibilities are endless for a great collection like this!

These pieces measure 2.75X2.75 inches

All cotton, great, bright colors. One of the fabrics is a lovely, super soft flannel.

Squares are encased with two cathedral window squares (unfinished) of unbleached muslin.

Gunne Sax by Jessica McClintock

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 18:06:28 -0500

$39.99
This little dress will make you feel like the princess that you are! It's perfect for a tea party, prom, wedding or any other occasion that may require you to look your best! No rips, stains or tears.

HOWEVER, somebody (not me) sent this little beauty through the wash (it's dry clean only). The fabric needs some freshening. I'm not sure if it can be ironed or perhaps a good dry cleaning could restore the luster and crispness of the acetate.

measurements (in inches)
waist: 28
length: 47
bust: 32

tag: size 11
100% acetate
100% nylon (underskirt)

Yes, there is an underskirt to this bit of loveliness. A single tier crinoline is attached beneath the dress to give it even more fullness. Wonderful!

EXTRA details!! Nylon whaling in bodice to give you an even sturdier silhouette. Acetate ties make the perkiest bow in the back!

Three vintage necklaces, varying lengths

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 18:06:28 -0500

three lengths:

Pink: 8 inches
red: 14.5 inches
green: 25 inches

Beautiful lemon chiffon yellow 1950s dress with pin tucked bib

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 20:32:22 -0500

$29.99
Gorgeous work on these pin tucks. Meticulously spaced down the front of this frock, this handwork is to be applauded! Beautiful fit on this dress for just the right girl. Although not a full circle skirt, there is enough fullness in this pretty little thing to charm one and all.

Closes in back with metal zipper and hook and eye at waist and neckline.

FLAW: zipper is slightly off track. After working it down to the base, one tooth is still contrary but zipper gave no trouble during modeling session. So--it appears to be fine. You may want to replace it. Slight repaired tears under arms.

Dress is 100% cotton, machine washable, hang to dry.

Polarized red bug glasses

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 09:46:12 -0500

$12.99
I think there is a slight (very slight) magnification to these lenses but not enough to really bother the eye. I can wear them with my contacts and not be bothered. My husband doesn't think there's any sort of vision change with them.

On the other hand, these are very, VERY fun glasses. I didn't realize they were polarized until I was taking shots of them for the listing. I couldn't figure out why the lenses were showing up darker in my viewfinder! Wow, what a great find.

These glasses measure 5.5 inches from temple to temple. Eye bar measures 4 inches to the bend and then two inches down. Please contact me if you need different or additional measurements!

Eyebar labeled: China. Acrylic construction, glass lens.

(That should be a good thing!) Pair them with some ankle boots or Teddy Boy shoes and you're the cat's meow, one swinging cat, a hep daddy, a...oh, you get the picture...

Model stands 6 feet and weighs 155, pants hit right above ankle bone when standing.

Excellent condition.

Boho chic folk maxi skirt with aqua and purple stripes by Modern Juniors

Sun, 01 Nov 2009 23:19:16 -0500

$16.50
Not sure of the fiber content on this little number, but it surely feels like wool! It's a comfortable wear for the cool fall and winter months but a real booger to handle on hot and humid days.

That said, take a look at the lovely stripes and stitches in this one of a kind maxi skirt. The braided belt can be worn or not, as you see fit. Belt loops tuck neatly into skirt waist band when not in use.

Excellent condition. Note two pulls in last photo.
