Can you even imagine being able to knit a dress like that one on the right? And, have it fit like that?! Wow.
Do you have any stories of family members who could make things like this? I’m so amazed by some of the things that the women of our grandmothers’ and great-grandmothers’ generation could do . . . . . . . .

Imagine the thrill when I spotted these! What a fabulous pair of shoes for summer.
This color, with the unusual white accents, is so classic and versatile. Looks good with almost everything but stands out on its own.
100% leather, of course. 1950’s quality all the way. Doesn’t get any better!

A full skirt (the original owner might have worn a crinoline underneath!) and a peasant blouse were popular outfits in both the 1940’s and 1950’s. I have most often seen them in old movies and TV programs.
The most special thing about this skirt is the Egyptian theme decoration printed all around. The colors are great, the cotton is soft and heavy. Should be worn with a wide belt.
The blouse is pretty, too, with the lacy ruffle. Off-the-shoulder necklines (it’s got elastic around the top) are super-flattering to almost every figure.
This would make a cute hostess outfit. It just says “get out and play” to me!

Almost every pair of my true vintage shoes has been a surprise find and this was one of the most delicious! Beautiful Delisos from the 1960’s.
I’m always thrilled when I find 100% leather shoes, because that tells me that the craftsmanship is wonderful and, also, that they will be easy to have repaired. Full leather shoes can last a lifetime, with good care.
Sling-backs are one of my favorite styles. That’s the only style you’ll see here for a while, as I work my way through the collection. They’re fabulous for summer, so now’s the time!
