$24 USDVintage Invitation Cards w/ Envelopes-Children "The Case of the Little Letters"
Home Decor:Collectibles:Vintage:Mid-century:Invitations:Childres:Children's
I just had to have these when I saw them because the graphics are so cute and the colors fresh and clear. As you can see there are 4 designs to choose from, an antique car, hot air balloon, a penny farthing bicycle and last but not least a lovely blue train. The box top is in good vintage condition for it's age, the bottom not so much. The cards themselves are near excellent. The all measure roughly 6 1/2" to 7 1/4". The one flaw is that there was originally 6 of each design. I guess some little ...
$35 USD Offers ConsideredVintage 1960's Jewellery Box with Oriental Theme Black Lacquer
Home Decor:Vintage:1960's:Jewellery Box:Musical:Lacquer:Black
These jewellery boxes were all the rage in the early 60's and usually given pride of place on a ladies dresser or vanity. It spoke of travel to exotic places when, if you couldn't go there in person, you could at least dream about it. The interior is almost like new, with hot pink cotton corduroy fabric surrounding the lid edge, lining 3/4's of the bottom and the ring holder plus the 2 compartments under the lid. There are 3 compartments, one hidden in the bottom with 2 up top that are opened ...

$11 USDCute 1960's Apron-Geometric Shapes-Great Colors
Fashion & Accessories:1960's:Apron
What can I say about this apron other than the cotton is crisp as though never washed, so maybe never worn and the geometric shapes in yellow, black, pink, red and peach on a white ground make it look very fresh and happy. A wide plain black accents the bottom. No label of course, most likely made at home, if so they sure chose an appealing cotton fabric!
$6 USDDisco Ball Dancing Earrings Mauve Sequins Swing
Jewelry:Earrings:Pierced:Disco:Ball
Aren't these just the cutest. I remember clubbing "back in the day" in Montreal and Toronto. The large chrome disco balls hung over the dance floor (by the way what's with this "back in the day stuff?") All of a sudden I hear it everywhere so might as well join the crowds. Not much to say to describe these except there are a lovely shade of mauve which changes here and there to other pastel tints of green and blue. They are in great condition, measure 3" top to toe and have black plastic rods to ...
$10 USDVintage CORO Jewelry-Rhinestone Drop earrings-Glamorous
Jewelry:Earrings:Vintage:Coro:Earrings:Rhinestones
This pair of vintage Rhinestone earrings manufactured by Coro is just one of many things that I envy from the forties and fifties. I know a woman's world was not all good, I definitely agree with that. They were caught between two worlds but I can say that I envy them their jewelry, accessories and clothing styles. In those days they had get togethers, like cocktail parties, a function to attend where they got to open the jewelry box and choose any number of beautiful costume jewelry pieces to ...

This is just the cutest little tam or hat. It's size of 17 1/2" tells us that it was made for the younger set.

$23 USDVintage 1960's "Skort" Summer Cotton Sun Dress
Fashion & Accessories:Dresses:Vintage:1960's:Dress:Skort:Summer
This description will be short and sweet, as is this skort, the name given to a cross between shorts and a skirt (for those born after 1980 :). The overlapping flap at the front conceals the actual division of the material that creates this step in and go garment. The colorway is a happy orange (not glaring) with white pattern. Material is a med. weight cotton. There are no issues or flaws involved just an overall fade that comes with being a favorite summer garment. No fuss, no muss, just jump ...
$25 USDVintage 1980's Power Dress-Black and White-Striking!
Fashion & Accessories:Dresses:1980's:Women's:Frock:Dinner:Power
You'll never have to say What'll I Wear? again, once you own this dress. One couldn't avoid feeling totally chic wearing it. It's class all the way. The contrast of black on white (the large area to the left side of skirt is from my camera and is NOT a stain) in a variety of leaf patterns is the perfect duo. That crispness plus the poly/cotton fabric keeps it fresh looking and the styling is to die for! Simple lines, powerful dress. Perfect for after work drinks or dinner, whatever the occasion ...
$26 USDVintage 1970’s Day Dress-Boho-Renaissance, Lilith Fair
Fashion & Accessories:Dresses:Vintage:1970's:Gingham:Cotton
What'll I wear? Vintage! is pleased to offer this original 1970's dress that I'm sure must have attended Woodstock in person. It's definitely dead on the preferred design of the Hippie era. There was a lot of Renaissance revival going on then and this garment has pretty much all the ingredients. The fabric is a softly overall softly worn (gingham?) cotton that is made up of two floral patterns, one a medium size and one a small, that alternate. The soft colors used are on a soft black ground ...

Isn't this just super cute?. If I were younger I know just how I would accessorize this white mini. It has been re-worked from a vintage 60's dress although the person who told me that didn't give me any info on how, so I'm just listing this as a very sweet but coquettish dress. As you can see there is white mesh that is sewn to the white neckline and it continues down to a nice low V. There is also a mesh insert below the ruched area that's happening in the cleavage that gives shape to the bust ...

When I bought this scarf the lady told me that her cousin's husband often brought back gifts and souvenir items from Europe where he was stationed after the war. She especially liked items from France, which was the country of choice. People who wanted to travel but couldn't get there, settled for the next best thing. I do believe that this neck piece is silk however I'm no expert on fabrics. The good side is in a very lovely soft, dusky pink with the tiny floral border each end as well as ...
