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!

My First Front Page Treasury!

There's my Winter White Pointelle Knit Jacket & Skirt Set in the upper left corner.  Thanks Linkel Designs! 

I'm Swooning Here!

This dress!  This gorgeous find of a dress!  I almost missed out on this one, but when I saw that baby blue chiffon peeking out at me, I had to dive in for a closer look.  Could you find a more dreamy example of a floor length ballgown than this?

I've never had a full circle dress before & this one is just so floaty & light.   I'm dating this to the late fifties, early sixties, but the design is really classic and could easily be mistaken for contemporary.   Check it out quickly, I don't expect this beauty to last too long:  Eye Love That.  It's hanging on my office door for the time being so I can watch the skirt sweep every time I walk past it. 

My First Post -Listing Remorse

Yes, I admit, I'm having a bit of listing remorse - did I just coin a new phrase? 
I listed these great, I believe custom made 1940's shoes the other day and because of their sheer fabulousness, I'm having second thoughts .  Plus, they fit me really well...
While I think about it, I will keep them listed and see if there is any interest in them.  In the meantime, I have them perched on my printer in my office to admire and taunt me.
