This is a beautiful 10-inch black coral sea fan. These have been seen in Domino, Elle Decor and all the fun decorating magazines and blogs. Beautiful. So chic.

Chunky Black Chainlink Necklace - a la Diana Vreeland

Mon, 14 Dec 2009 11:13:02 -0500

$42.00
I. Love. This. Piece.

This is an old necklace that is designed like a chunky black plastic chainlink piece. It might be bakelite but I can't be sure. More than likely, it is just heavy plastic resin of some sort.

The chainlink pieces are not fully connected. Each link has a slot on one side where they went together. However, even despite this, this necklace isn't adjustable at all; this is only for looks and no pieces can be taken out. The necklace clasps at the back with a large gold loop clasp. It works fine and holds tight.

The necklace measures 18 inches; it is meant to be worn as a choker.

This piece is shiny, black and so so so chic. It nods back to Diana Vreeland or classic Chanel. I notice no maker's mark on this necklace, however.

Amazing piece. Timeless. Elegant. Chic. Can't go wrong.

Perfect condition; just needs cleaning.

Blue Stripes, Black Polka Dots. Full bed sheet.

Mon, 14 Dec 2009 11:12:32 -0500

$16.00
I love the pattern on this bedsheet. Beautiful Tiffany blue stripes with black and white polka dots in the white parts and little bunches of flowers here, yonder and there. Truly a beautiful, shabby chic, delicate pattern. The colors are gorgeous!

When I got this, the elastic was coming away from the fabric but my Mom repaired this. However the elastic isn't very strong anymore. I would recommend this sheet for use of the beautiful fabric. Could be used as a sheet but would need some new elastic, I think.

Fitted sheet. Full size. Cotton percale.

Poison Ring - Sterling and Onyx

Mon, 14 Dec 2009 11:11:58 -0500

$28.00
This is a pretty, old poison ring. It is from the 1980's. It is very tarnished sterling silver with a black onyx on the top. The very top opens on a little hinge to reveal a little compartment. Marked for sterling inside the band.

DEFINITELY needs a cleaning!

Not adjustable. Band is about 5 cm around.

$12.00
Bold green striped pillowcases - matching set. Standard size - 42 x 36. By Dan River Dantrel. Poly cotton blend. So soft! Opening has a solid green edge / hem. Great condition - one small snag on the edge of one (barely noticeable). One pillowcase is just a wee bit brighter than the other; one may have been used more than the other. Beautiful set.

Candy Stripers. Vintage Pillowcase Set.

Mon, 14 Dec 2009 11:11:22 -0500

$12.00
Pretty pink striped pillowcases - matching set. Standard size - 42 x 36. By Dan River Dantrel. Poly cotton blend. So soft! Great condition - I notice what looks like some of the pink bleeding into a white stripe on one of them. One pillowcase is just a wee bit brighter than the other; one may have been used more than the other. Beautiful set.

Grab bag of the photos I don't know what to do with.

Mon, 14 Dec 2009 11:00:04 -0500

$10.00
In all of my photos, there are some that just sort of baffle me. They aren't as old as I normally like to sell - they are more 60's and 70's - and they are just not very interesting. Some of them are photos of a table, or a chair, or something you can't make out at all. But, I've come to know that there is someone for everything or vice versa. I know that someone will love this wonky, mystery lot of photos.

You will get 25 random photos. They may be from as far back as 1930 or as new as 1980. Just a fun grab bag. Take a chance!

Great for crafting...

collecting...

to slip into a card for an extra touch...

framing...

anything!

NO ONE COULD REACH HER
Twelve-year-old Helen Keller lived in a prison of silence and darkness. Born deaf, blind, and mute, with no way to express herself or comprehend those around her, she flew into primal rages against anyone who tried to help her, fighting tooth and nail with a strength born of furious, unknowing desperation.

Then Annie Sullivan came. Half-blind herself, but possessing an almost fanatical determination, she would begin a frightening and incredibly moving struggle to tame the wild girl no one could reach, and bring Helen into the world at last....

1971 The Illuminated Alphabet Coloring Book

Mon, 14 Dec 2009 10:33:51 -0500

$8.00
This is a fun paperback coloring book for adults called The Illuminated Alphabet.

Here is a blurb on it:

For us the alphabet is usually a means of communication, but in the Middle Ages it was one of the great vehicles for amusement and instruction, as well as beauty. Fanciful devices, symbolic elements, floral beauty, narrative cartoons, and a world of other embellishments worked into initial letters both delighted and improved the medieval mind.
Here are 50 fine medieval initials. They range from beautiful Celtic floral interlacements to biblical scenes, knights, martyrdoms, grotesque animals, portraits, secenes of play and war, and much else from treasured medieval manuscripts. The designs are permission-free, which means they are available for use in a wide variety of crafts and graphic arts projects. 49 pages.

Trade paperback 8¼" x 11" was published by Dover Publications in 1971.

This book does not have any pages colored in but the someone did write their name in ink on the front cover. Photo here is a stock photo.

These drawings could easily be used in other craft forms!

1930's Enamel Surgical Pan - Vollrath

Sun, 13 Dec 2009 13:14:47 -0500

$36.00
Just in time for Halloween! A little Jeckyl and Hyde anyone? This is perfect!

This is a very old - approximate 1930's - enamelware surgical pan by Vollrath. The Vollrath sticker / marking is barely visible on the side in blue. This piece was likely used to sterilize surgical tools back in the day. It is very long and very unusual. It measures 17 inches long, 4 inches wide and 2 inches deep. It is white except for the black rim around the top of the pan. The lid is beveled and has a petite white handle.

Except for one rusty part on one end of the lid, this piece is in beautiful condition. There are a few slight scratches here and there that are typical of its age and the Vollrath sticker, as mentioned, is rubbed off pretty good.

Lovely piece. Use for Halloween and beyond! Great as an apple display on your dining table or for a collection of multi-colored pillar candles or to put on the back of your toilet for toilet paper. The options are literally endless.

Baby in a Bottle. Very old.

Sun, 13 Dec 2009 13:12:53 -0500

$26.00
What a unique find!

This is a very old doll in a small spice / apothocary jar. The doll looks to be plastic and is wearing what looks to be a handmade dress of pink gingham and lace. Her hair is painted on and a bit chippy. You can see her feet through the bottom. There are a couple of very teeny seashells in the bottom too. Her dress is held together with a small straight pin and the lace looks very old and a bit dirty. The jar is glass and has a glass stopper lid.

Measures 4 inches tall.

Doll does not come out of jar as far as I can tell. I've not tried very hard to get her out but she doesn't readily come out. Meant as a unique display piece. NOT a toy.

So cute and very unique! So shabby chic adorable!

Vintage Holiday Floral Greenery Picks

White Shabby Chic Candle Holder Chandeliers - Set of Two

Sun, 13 Dec 2009 12:16:27 -0500

$36.00
These will sheerly delight some special person!

This is a set of two identical white metal candle holders that are oh-so-wonderfully-shabby chic. The actual candle holder part is shaped like a little flower; there is one on they very top and three on lower parts around. This piece is such a wonderful, simple design with all sorts of loops and character! They sit nicely on a flat space and I think that is how they were meant to be used but I'm selling them together primarily because they could easily be repurposed into precious chandeliers. I'm not sure exactly how it would be done but I know it could be. So cute! Some scuffs on the paint but these would be super easy to re-paint or clean up.

Adorable set!

Each candle holder measures 7.5 inches tall and 9.25 inches across.

Metal.

They are navy blue canvas cotton with blue and white striped elastic criss-crosses over the top of the foot. There is also blue and white striping at the back of the foot. These have a wedge, espadrille-like heel and rubber soles with just a little wear on them. White trim throughout. These are super cute and have such a fun nautical feel to them!

$56.00
These are vintage used women's golf shoes from Footjoy. They have a saddle-oxford look to them all the way around and have the traditional golf "flap" over the top of the foot. As best I can see, this flap does not detach. These have super tread on the bottom and need to be cleaned up. White leather. Whether you play golf or just want these for a fashion statement, they are fab!

$36.00
These are perfect for your holiday party-going!

These are sexy little peeptoe pumps from J. Renee in a lovely textured-striped lame (lamay) metallic fabric. They have little florets on the toe and sweet kitten heels. The soles only show a bit of wear and the heelcaps are in good shape too. There is some discoloration near the toe and on one of the heels. These are vintage shoes; after all. Part of the gold-lined insole part is flaking, as pictured. They are totally wearable as they are but would probably be best with a bit of cobbler care.

Size 8.5 Medium. Measurements:

Heel to toe - 10 inches
Heel - 2.75 inches
Across ball of foot - 3 inches

Wooden Clown Head

Sun, 13 Dec 2009 11:03:58 -0500

$8.00
This is a great assemblage piece, especially if you love or hate clowns! This is a wooden clown head. It was certainly once attached to an ornament of some sort but all that is left now is the head. It is very colorful and quite cute. It has a yellow polka dot hat, big red nose and green fabric collar. There is still a red string at the top for where it can be hung. Some of the paint is chipped and a sticker has pulled some of the paint off the back too in a very small spot. This piece has a ton of character! Measures 2.75 inches.

Hot for teacher? Get her this.

This is a mug from West Germany with a pretty red apple on the front. Marked Waechtersbach on the bottom. Main color is a calm green; apple is red with a goldish stem. Apple design is on both sides.

I just noticed that there is a chip on the top right near the handle. I've lowered the price because of this. It won't affect where you drink but it is noticeable.

Mug measures 3.75 inches tall.

Vintage Barkcloth Panels - Old Curtains

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 12:50:44 -0500

$18.00
Wonderful old curtain panels made of a very course, thick fabric that I think is barkcloth. This set has beautiful blue and brown flowers with a damask-style row of tan scallop between each row of flowers. The background is light tan. Really pretty, very elegant design!

There is a good bit of fabric here. Would be a nice amount for repurposing somehow. They are still in curtain panel format with the rod hole strips at the top and hemmed at the bottom.

Both panels measure 44 x 33 inches.

These are both very old and have some spots on them. I'm not sure what method is best to clean barkcloth so it will be left to the buyer.

Vintage Bath Towel Trio - Terry Cloth

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 12:50:44 -0500

$18.00
These are very old terry cloth bath towels - previously loved but clean and ready for more use! There are three in this lot, the three pictured here.

1. Olive green, white and green stripes with no fringe. This is a regular sized towel; not overly large. It is pretty worn in some spots.

2. Hot pink and white blocked flowers with no fringe. About the same size as the other. Has some pulls in it.

3. Yellow on yellow floral design with fringe. Some pulls in places.

None of these are in perfect condition but they would be great as cutters or for a shabby chic bathroom decor. Love the colors! Nice sizes too!

Chippy Child's Chair - Square

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 12:50:44 -0500

$32.00
Listing is for one square back chair. I have four total - two with rounded backs and two with squared off backs. Round back chairs are in another listing here in my store.

These are adorable chairs in the most beautiful shade of Tiffany-robin's egg blue. They are metal folding chairs with square backs. They are chipped up in all the right places for a wonderful, shabby chic, distressed look. These would be perfect in a nursery or to sit out on your patio to put plants on. Imagine the possibilities!

They have rust on them in different places. Keep in mind that these are OLD. They came from the estate of a woman who used them in her Sunday school class for many years.

The square chairs measure 29.75 inches tall and 13 inches across when folded. They are 12.5 inches deep when folded out.

These chairs have very thin cushion pieces on the seat that are coming loose on the sides. Doesn't yield them unuseable at all; just noting for accuracy.

They need to be cleaned up. I'm not sure what type paint is on these chairs; I wouldn't advise letting a child chew on them though as the paint is as old as the chairs.

Great little gems for your home or garden! You will LOVE these!

These are heavy and shipping reflects this. I will package them well and refund any shipping overage. I will get the best shipping rate possible - I promise.

All my sisters and me. Original old photo.

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 12:50:10 -0500

$16.00
This photo will take your breath away. It is that beautiful.

This is a sepia-toned photo of ten girls sitting on a very large boulder. They are all sitting to one side so there is a lot of negative space on the other side. However, the only adds to the beautiful character of the photo.

No date is marked; I approximate it to be around 1910.

Original.
Sepia toned with white / cream border.
Measures 2.5 x 4.25 inches.

Old Negative Print Photo

Thu, 10 Dec 2009 15:13:45 -0500

$15.00
This photo is so cool!

As you can see in the picture, there are marks on it, light spots, dark spots, the trees in the background are faded and very surreal looking and it is a bit off-center too. However, this all makes this one of the most delightful photos I've seen in a long time (and I see a lot). It almost looks like a piece of artwork instead of a photo.

Just amazing.

Oh, the photo is actually of a man and a woman squatted down in a field. How odd! How quirky!

Love it!

Top corner is torn off; a few small tears along sides.

Black and white.

Original.

Negative photo print.

Measures 3.25 x 4.25.

Wed, 09 Dec 2009 11:18:15 -0500

$28.00
This is one fab bag.

This beauty is genuine leather patchwork and includes just about every color you can imagine - red, white, black, burgandy, navy, grey, coral, turquoise, green, tan... so colorful and fab!

Happily, it has about as many pockets as it does colors. It has three large and roomy main zippered pockets (one zipper is stuck about 3/4 of the way down; will open and close to this point and then it sticks - doesn't affect bag really at all). In addition to these, there are zippered outside pockets on either side and slit pockets on either side in front of this. Literally, you won't want for pockets on this bag! It has double leather shoulder straps that are burgandy and navy. These are not adjustable but a very good length for on-the-go people.

Tag inside says "Genuine Leather - made in Mexico".

This bag is one-of-a-kind; so wonderful! Great for all seasons and will carry anything you need!

Measures 11.5 inches across; 9.25 inches tall; expands to 8 inches deep and shoulder straps are 30 inches long.

Great condition too!

Wee Shabby Chic Homco Mirror

Wed, 09 Dec 2009 11:17:59 -0500

$12.00
This is a fun mirror that would be so fabulous if painted black or red! Oh la la!

This mirror is by Homco and is a cast resin plastic. It is brown and looks a bit like rattan or wicker. So cute! The mirror needs cleaning but is in great, very clear shape. The only flaw I notice is that when you turn the mirror, something behind the mirror rattles. Not sure what it is. Structurally sound.

Measures 9.5 x 6.75 inches.

Owl Mug

Wed, 09 Dec 2009 11:17:17 -0500

$14.00
Or... tightie-whities mug. I mean, doesn't this look like a pair of briefs to you? Maybe that is just me.

I've seen mugs like this painted with owl eyes and nose and it looks really cute. You could easily paint this one up like that.

This mug is a beautiful amber-tan color and a wonderful retro, minimalistic design. I'm sure you've seen these before.

Marked JAPAN on the bottom; has one crack that I've pictured. Great for your morning brew or for holding a little bouquet of flowers. Measures just under 4 inches tall.

Fun Vintage Gold Letters

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 14:55:00 -0500

$12.00
Okay, I'm not sure why you would want "CSI" sitting on a bookcase but if you were to split these letter up, they would be fab by themselves! Lots of ideas for these neat letters!

These are all uppercase letter. They are a nice muted gold color and are some sort of hard molded plastic - very sturdy. They have some sort of hanger attachments on the back that screws fit into. I'm not sure what they originally went to but they are very neat! Marked with numbers on the backs; I think these marks will come off.

Each letter measures 3.75 inches tall.

Would look great on a bookshelf or in a kids' room!

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 14:54:31 -0500

$5.00
Wouldn't it be wonderful if folks did picnics at the lake like this nowadays? Yes, I think it would be.

Three people in their fancy clothes and hats seated at a table beside a lake having a lunch. The table even has a tablecloth on it. So pretty.

These people look very well-to-do, a distinct Cape Cod feel to this picture.

Black and white with white border. Original. No date marked; approximate 1920's.

What a belt! This piece is HUGE! Looks like a gladiator or a WWC belt or something. Awesome piece!

The buckle is round and a has a very ethnic look to it. The is a tiny hook that hooks into the holes at the other end of the belt.

There is a tag from the store where they were originally bought inside one of them. Also a bit of rubbing on the leather in places, as pictured. This is typical of their age and doesn't yield them unwearable at all.

Vintage Globe Bowl

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 14:04:57 -0500

$18.00
How perfect would this be for Halloween candy? Oh yes.

This is very simple. It is half a vintage globe. No more, no less. The globe is in VERY good shape. You get the half pictured here.

This globe bowl is not sealed or lined or anything. It would not be suitable for salad or anything of that nature. It has the hole in the bottom where it once stood on a stand. Actually, this makes it sit up like a regular bowl.

You could easily decoupage the inside or add trim to it, etc. It is easily alter-able. Options are endless!

And when Halloween is over, use it to display fruit! Brilliant!

Note: It should be carried with both hands at the bottom as holding it by the side might tear it down over time. It is, after all, only thick cardboard. Please note this when purchasing.

Measures 12 inches diameter

Tin full o' lace.

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 14:04:17 -0500

$22.00
This is a beautiful old shabby chic hinged tin full of vintage lace. The tin itself is a treasure. It is a beautiful Tiffany-blue with pink, gold, green and white floral accents. The back is hinged and the lid opens perfectly. The tin is designed by Daher and made in England. It is an old tin and has some chippy spots on it but this only adds to its wonderful shabby chic character. It is the prettiest little thing! Measures 4 x 2.5 x 3 inches.

Inside this tin I've stuffed as much old lace as it will hold. There is a wide piece folded at the bottom and snippets of scalloped, ruched and crocheted lace on the top. These are all just small pieces but would be great for your assemblage or mixed media art pieces. Or keep them in the box for a novelty! Anyway you go, this is one sweet treasure trove!

Henson Kickernick Sexy Camisole

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 21:53:06 -0500

$18.00
What a cute find! Very sexy!

This is a slinky camisole top by Henson Knickerknack. It is predominantly black but has very sexy cream-colored lace trim throughout. The boob parts are the solid lace and are definitely sheer. There is lace on the straps, around the edges and down the button shaft. The straps are not adjustable. There is a hook clasp between the boob cups and toggle buttons all the way down the front. The buttons make it look a bit corset-like. So unique and fabulous!

The inside tag says Henson Knickerknack. The fabric, size tag is so faded that I cannot tell what it says at all. Please see measurements to determine fit.

Bust - 31 inches
Length - 16 inches (at longest point)
Straps - 15.5 inches around

ROLFS Metallic Vegan Pouch - Brown Black

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 11:52:30 -0500

$16.00
This is a very unique little pouch bag. It is not leather; maybe made of pvc or something like that. It is a sturdy material though. It is a lovely brown color with a metallic sheen to it and black trim. It has gold zippers on the back and front and at the top too. This bag has a front pocket, a back pocket, pockets behind both of those pockets and a larger, main compartment inside at the top. There is a "handle" loop to one side; this is the only handle or strap on this unique bag.

Marked ROLFS on the bottom. Main zipper pull is a bit rusted.

Measures 9 inches across, 7 inches tall, 2.25 inches deep.

1950's Kadin Classy Lady Handbag - Large

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 11:52:30 -0500

$40.00
This is such a beautiful handbag - from the 1950's by Kadin.

This bag is a beautiful, earthy tan with dark brown leather trim and gold hardware. The main tan fabric is some sort of nubbly, tapestry-type material. I'm not sure exactly what it is but it is very nice, so elegant. The inside is a brownish-pink lining with a zipper pocket and two slit pockets. "Kadin" logo tag is inside. Beautiful, elegant gold "feet" on the bottom so it stands up nicely. The arm handles are double and not adjustable.

This bag is in beautiful condition except for a stain on the front toward the bottom and a couple of small snags in the nubbly fabric. These pulls are very hard to spot and do not detract from this bag. I'm not sure what the stain is and if it would come out or not. That is left to the buyer.

Bag measures 16.5 across at the largest part, 7.75 inches tall, 5.25 inches deep (this bag is rigid, stands up and is not flexible at all), with 15.5 inch straps.

Slight old smell to it. It is an old bag, after all.

All the flaws mentioned here are nothing more than what is typical of a bag this old. Very nice bag, very unique.

Sz 6 Peacock Cowboy Boots - Vintage Laredo

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 11:52:29 -0500

$54.00
These boots are made for... These boots are made for whatever you want them to be made for! They are HOT!

By Laredo, these vintage beauties are a women's size 6. They are a GORGEOUS, deep, rich peacock green - not like you see very often! These boots have the typical cowboy-stitching up the sides and on the toe. They have the typical chunky heel and pointed toe. They have a unique tassel on the outside of each boot. Amazing detail!

They need to be cleaned up for sure and there is wear on the heels. They are in good shape for their age and for being previously loved. For some reason, the right boot is shinier than the left. I'm sure the left could be shined right up.

Fabulous boots! You will LOVE these!

11 inches tall

5.5 Patchwork Spectator Pumps

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 11:52:05 -0500

$36.00
Gorgeous leather patchwork spectator pumps by Vitality. These are approximately from the 1960's.

These are classic styled pumps with a rounded toe and a chunky squared heel. They are made of wonderful patched colors of tan, mustard, rust and off-white.

These could not be MORE perfect for fall.
Amazing shoes!
So classy and timeless!

There is some red writing on the bottom but it isn't noticeable when worn. There are some scratches / one tear on the toe of the left shoe. Shown in picture. I'm not sure how this would be repaired; a cobbler MIGHT be able to fix it but I can't guarantee that.

Soles show wear typical of vintage shoes.

Amazing! Don't miss these!

Size: US 5.5 M
Heel: 2.25 inches
Insole: 9.25 inches
Color: Multi-color patchwork
Label: The New Vitality
Material(s): I believe they are leather although they aren't marked.

1940's Sterling Prong-Set Starburst Brooch

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 11:52:05 -0500

$22.00
Beautiful piece! Elegant and unique!

This is a very old sterling silver brooch studded with rhinestones. It is in a starburst design with a beautiful flowerette at the bottom center. There are 22 "arms" that come off the top, each with a prong-set rhinestone at the end. The bottom, bow-like part is like marcasite, with tiny rhinestones studded all along these sides. In the middle of this bottom piece is a beautiful rhinestone flowerette that also features prong-set rhinestones. The only rhinestones that are not prong-set on this piece are the ones that are set in like marcasite on the bottom bow-like part.

Pinback works great but might need bending back straight a bit.

Marked "sterling" on the back.

Some of the rhinestones that are set in at the bottom are missing - at least half of them. Hard to notice from a distance but noticeable up close. Rhinestones on the "arms" that come off the top are a bit darkened from age. Despite these flaws, this piece is in nice shape for its age.

Approximate 1940's piece. Sturdy and beautiful. They don't make jewelry like this anymore!

Hilo Hattie Maxi One Shoulder Dress

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 11:51:39 -0500

$65.00
Another beautiful piece from Hilo Hattie! This one has a true Hawaii / luau feel to it! So airy and pretty!

This dress is maxi length long and has a very high split up the seam of one side. It is meant to show some leg and be a bit sexy! The top is a one-shoulder design. The pieces that go over the shoulder tie for an even more "island" feel. Whole dress is straight down with no defined bust, waist or hips. Same print in front and back. The background is black with white, purple and green leaves and what look like purple peace lillies. The leaves are large like lilly pad leaves. Really pretty island design!

Tag says "Hilo Hattie's Hawaii".

European Family Photo Postcard... Original Old Photo...

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 15:42:48 -0500

$2.00
Beautiful family photo portrait postcard - European. This photo is wonderful because the actual image has rounded corners and a distinct old-world feel. The image is set off-center making it even more unique and whimsical. The image is also very light in its color and contrast but not from age, just the way it was developed. So nice; very elegant.

In the photo are several people: Dad holding a little girl, Mom holding a baby and what I would guess are two nannies. You can see prams in the background. Looks like they are sitting in front of a field of some sort. I don't think this is a candid shot; looks like this is an actual portrait taken to be shared.

Really nice. No date marked; approximate 1930's. Original. Black and white with unwritten postcard backing.

A pair of sweet white ceramic angels from West Germany. One is kneeling and praying and has the largest wings of the two. The other is singing and has very small wings. This second one is holding something in its hands, the bottom of which is broken off. Marked with some sort of maker's mark on the bottom but I can't find anything about it. The first is marked West Germany on the bottom. They both have a wonderful crackled look to the glaze. SO pretty!

1971 The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 18:40:19 -0500

$15.00
The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath
Hardcover library discard with dustjacket and plastic library covering.
296 pages.
Some tape marks in the inside covers that were once holding the dustjacket on.

"It was a queer, sultry summer, the summer they electrocuted the Rosenbergs, and I didn't know what I was doing in New York"?

From Amazon...
Plath was an excellent poet but is known to many for this largely autobiographical novel. The Bell Jar tells the story of a gifted young woman's mental breakdown beginning during a summer internship as a junior editor at a magazine in New York City in the early 1950s. The real Plath committed suicide in 1963 and left behind this scathingly sad, honest and perfectly-written book, which remains one of the best-told tales of a woman's descent into insanity.

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 17:27:05 -0500

$2.00
Cool photo of an old car. I'm not sure if it is a Cadillac or not; sort of looks like it but I'm no car expert. The photo is dated June 1959. The image is wonderful and blurry so it makes it look like the car is in motion somehow. Really neat.

Black and white with white scalloped border. Top edge has been torn from an album. Original.

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 16:31:05 -0500

$8.00
Half price has already been taken on this item. The actual price is $8... was $16.

"Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before." - Mae West

This pillow could also be called the Carrie Bradshaw pillow for the way the doll on top is sitting right in the middle of her dress all splayed around her. Remember that scene? Candy.

Mae West... Carrie Bradshaw... Anyway this pillow is described, it is fabulous! As red as you can imagine, this pillow is round with a huge button right in the middle on the back and front. The deep accordian pleats that go out from the middle and cover the entire pillow are just amazing. So chic and perfect for your boudoir.

The doll on top can easily be detached. If you like her, you can leave it. However, she is OLD and her hair is kind of matted and her eyes are dark, etc. She has some years on her. But, her beautiful red dress matches the pillow beautifully and definitely makes it unique.

Pillow has a slight old smell because - well - it is old.

Measures 13.5 inches in diameter. Looks and feels to be made of satin. Nice, firm filling.

Please note that this pillow is heavy because the stuffing is densely packed. Shipping price reflects what it actually costs to mail this piece.

$8.00
These are very old and very teeny. They are tiny crystal cubes with silver toppers / shakers. They have pretty X designs on all four sides. These would be so pretty as little vases for a single flower on your desk or as a gift for someone. Or... if you are extra creative, put moss in it as a teeny terrarium!

They need cleaning up. Some of the lids are hard to come off and might require a pair of pliers. Wonderful for so many things... especially with Christmas coming up! Would be great for crafts or decorating!

Measure 1.75 inches tall and 1 inch across and wide.

So petite and pretty!

I have three sets of these. The listing is for ONE set! If you want all three sets, please select that as your quantity.

Indian Elephant Belt - Tooled Leather

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 13:36:51 -0500

$15.00
This is such a unique piece! From the Mediterranean Trading Company, this genuine leather belt was made in India. This pretty piece has adorable multi-colored abstract tooled elephants marching along the entire belt. Gold buckle. There is one part in the center where it is coming a bit unstitched but I don't believe it is noticeable and doesn't yield the belt unwearable.

Marked size Medium.
Largest this belt can be is 33.5 inches.
Smallest this belt can be is 28 inches.

Adorable for all your chic outfits! Beautiful rich colors!

India Tulsi Etched Leather Clutch - Beautiful

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 13:36:51 -0500

$28.00
This is new/old stock with the price tag still on it. The original price was 245.00 and the store or maker was "Tulsi" (as marked on the price tag).

This bag is absolutely beautiful. It is an Indian etched leather clutch that converts to a shoulder bag with a skinny retractable leather strap, should you want it for that. I like it as a clutch. On the front, back and on the inside, it has an etched image of a man and woman in what looks to be a loving position. There are stars above them and trees around them. Looks like a mythological or cave painting image. Really beautiful and unique. The colors are varied and include green, red, brown, purple. The background and primary color of the bag is a rich caramel. So beautiful and elegant and vibrant!

Divided main pocket inside with one zippered pouch in the center. There is a mirror on the inside flap. So handy!

This is a sturdy clutch; not flimsy or flexible much at all. It is envelope style with a foldover flap that comes completely over the front. Snaps at either side on the front. So nice. You will love this one for years! The strap stuffs down into the bag when you want to carry it for a clutch; pull it out the top when you want to carry it on your shoulder.

Measures 9 inches long and 4.5 inches tall.

Love Stamp Cross-Stitch Sampler - Framed

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 13:36:29 -0500

$22.00
This is such a pretty piece - so country quaint.

This sampler is done in the large stitches and is comprised of pinks, greens, and browns. There is a rose to the side and "LOVE" printed vertically down the side. Border is stitched in brown and the initials "MMH" are at the bottom. Looks to be stitched onto linen.

This piece is framed in a 70's style brown frame and glassed in front. There are some dark spots toward the top but I can't tell if that is the frame or the linen fabric inside. I've not taken it apart to inspect it.

Really beautiful piece! Measures 14.5 x 12 inches.

Two-Piece Playsuit Romper Culottes - by Young Hawaii

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 13:36:13 -0500

$15.00
This playsuit set is so cute! This set is by Young Hawaii Liberty House.

It comes with jumpsuit overall type culottes that pull on. There is a coordinating jacket that looks so cute belted, as shown (belt not included). The romper waistline is elasticized waistline as is the top of the romper. Looks a bit bubbly - so cute! Jacket features an open front and kimono / dolman sleeves. No collar; no buttons. The leg openings are very wide but not belled.

I notice one very tiny, pin-sized hole on the back shoulder of the jacket. Otherwise, in perfect condition.

Fabric is polyester. The main color is a chocolate brown. The motif is flowers of bright coral pink, orange, yellos and green leaves. Will go with tons of great accessories (I have tons of great accessories for sale in my store!)

A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. and P.E.R.F.E.C.T. for summer! You will LOVE this set!

No size tag; fits a size 6 / 8.

Something is written on the back of this image but I can't tell what. I actually don't know if this guy's name is "Randy" or not. He is, however, in the Redwood Forest. This guy is hanging out of his cute little car in front of some beautifully tall redwood trees. Wonderful light in this image.

This is a neat image of a string of people lined up with plates waiting to get their food. They are in the middle of the forest though, which only makes it more interesting. The left edge of the photo has a lovely white haze to it. Really neat image.

This is a neat mini-image with two photos in one. It is like a contact strip or something but with only two images.

They are both of people in Scandinavian dress holding some sort of blades. Perhaps they are dancing in a festival. I'm not sure. Very interesting though.

This is a beautiful, very old image of a whole TON of people seated around a very long picnic table. They are under a tree outside and some of the people are looking at the camera.

This picture is old and the darks and lights in it are amazing. This isn't the sort of image where you can make out a lot of the faces. It has a very ethereal feel to it. Lovely.

Upper right corner is torn off.

This is a lovely little girl with a less-than-happy look on her face. She is sitting on the grass near a bush with trees in the background. She has on a lovely black hat and a beautiful dress with embroidery on the front and buttons down the side. You can see the shadow of the photographer in the corner.

Lovely, lovely, lovely.

Black paper is attached to the back from where this image was cut out of an album. Makes it very sturdy.

I get so tickled at obvious things that are labeled. Like... onesies that say "Baby" or a coffee mug that says "Mug"... or this photo that says "Bear". Like, of course they are bears! Hmmmmmmmmm...

Anyway, funny image.

This is a wonderful image of a woman holding a baby and a little girl talking to the baby. What is really cool is that the image was taken from a low angle and you can see mostly sky. Really neat.

This image is perfect. I love it.

This is a picture of two women standing at a fence. It looks like they might be standing there chatting or perhaps they are running away. I don't know. The photo is beautifully symmetrical, with the subjects right in the middle of the photo. There is fence on either side of them and pasture beyond them. There are a couple of development flaws that only add to the character of this piece. It is truly an amazing image.

I'm inherently drawn to photos that do not have people in them and that others might consider a bit... well... unusual. This one is a prime example.

This is a lovely photo of two plants sitting in a window. The light is pouring in and the plants are more silhouettes than anything. I love it. It would look amazing framed in a HUGE frame with the picture teeny in the middle. So chic.

Lovely image of a man lying on the ground on a blanket. Apparently he is on a picnic and having a siesta. You may figure why this listing is titled such for yourself.

WONDERFUL shadows in this photo!

Backless Trapeze Gown - Lace Trim

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 11:37:55 -0500

$48.00
This is a jet black gown that is very near floor-length (would be without shoes). The neck comes up in the front and buttons at the back of the band that holds the whole piece up. The front and all the way around to the deep-deep plunged back is trimmed in beautiful off-white lace - about a 2 inch strip of it.

So beautiful! Could be worn as a maxi / formal dress, although you might choose to put some sort of lining or slip under it.

Made by Undercover Wear

Tag size Medium - Fits like an 8 / 10.

100% nylon - Machine Wash (laundering is left to buyer)

The hemline is left raw. The only flaw I notice is a bit of pulling in the seam of the lace at the deep plunge "v" at the back. Despite this, the piece is in very good shape. This pulling is hard to notice.

Measurements:

Length from neckband - about 53 inches
Bust - 17.5 inches

The waist and bottom are free-fitting. They just fall down like a tent / trapeze styled garment. As you can see in the picture, there is delicate pleating in the back, right at the rear area. Makes it look a wee bit like a bustle (there is no actual bustle, please note).

Amazing piece! One of a kind find!

9.5M Woven Leather Cork Wedge Sandals

These are amazing for summer! You will LOVE these!

By Footworks, these sandals are a 9.5M and are in great shape. The style name is "Berkeley" and the tops are woven leather in multi-colors, including orange, yellow, teal and tan. They have a slingback with an ankle strap too. The buckle is a brassy gold. The heel on these is a hot cork semi-wedge. Shoes made of cork are so comfortable and so unique. These are NO exception! They are really rocking hot!

The only thing I notice is there is some red scribbling on the bottom of one of the shoes. It might come off but, as it is on the bottom, it isn't noticeable at all. Otherwise, in great shape! General wear on soles.

Made in Brazil.

Size: US 9.5M
Heel: 3.5 inches - semi-wedge
Insole: 10 inches
Color: Multi-color top - cork heel
Label: Footworks
Material(s): Leather with cork heel
Condition: Very good
