Stockings!

I know, it's officially Spring, but the days can still be quite chilly, and I for one am not ready for bare legs.  I've always loved stockings, or tights, or leggings, or whatever name you call them by, ever since kindergarten.  I remember a pair of white tights in particular because at recess one day I fell and scraped my knee -less concerned for my knee, but heartbroken by the hole in my beautiful white tights!

How about these awesome tie-dyed knit thigh highs?  They look so cozy!  Check out the other tie-dyed looks at, Tie Mee, these are only $20!

These are at once, cute & sex-ay!  Like getting a tattoo without the pain -and permanancy.    These are $16 from Tattoo Socks and More.  Endless designs available, but Peacock feathers are a super hot trend right now!

These don't really qualify as stockings, per se; more like legwarmers, or dare I suggest, "spats". So unique I had to show them in two different colours!   I think I would like them turned around as well, what a lasting impression your departure would make!  On sale now for $75 (remember, these are all crocheted!)  by Sannica. 

Very cool, these vintage design patterned tights!  Love the vertical stripes -very thinning to the leg.  Available for $12, from Daixiaole.

And, of course I love vintage, old new stock!  Shaped, seamed stockings circa 1941!   The real thing from Oddjects for $22.  This is a brand spankin' new store; if this is any indication of future finds there, I'll be visiting again!

Soft Spring Florals

Spring has tapped us on the shoulder today to let us know of Her impending arrival.  This, and a recent lovely thrift find makes me think of soft pastels, and vintage-y  florals.

These lovely 8x10 fine art photographic prints aptly titled "Soft", and "Soft II" from Hey Zee of Arizona would add a touch of Spring to any room.    Only $35 each. 

  

How about this unabashedly floral vintage hat?   Perfect for Easter Sunday!  This straw hat by Louise Green Millinery is new, old stock -can you beleive this Lovely was tucked away, never worn for so many years?  Available from Vintage Showgirl, worth every cent of $115.  Dreamy!

One of my favourite sellers, The Greedy Seagull offers us this lavendar wisteria, vision of a dress for $118. 

Bring Spring to your vanity, with this precious little hand painted trinket box is available for a mere $20 from C S Ceramics.                                         

Take Spring along with you, with this handy tote by my good friend, Christine at  Material Girl Sewing.  At $22, and *reversable*, this is a steal!  I have a similar one, and have to say, it's across the shoulder style & deep pocket make it a must for me when travelling & sight seeing.

And finally, the original inspirations for this collection; a sweet vintage fascinator with veil I had the fortune of finding!  Not in the best of shape, but so much fun for dress up, available for only $8, at my shop; Eye Love That.   Happy soon-to-be Spring!
