’60’s – ’70’s RETRO 1940’s HIGH-WAIST GORED SKIRT
NOT AS OLD AS I USUALLY LIKE, BUT WHEN I SAW THIS I SAID TO MYSELF “I’LL WEAR THIS A LOT!” NEEDS A LITTLE CLEANING, BUT NO BIG DEAL.
SOOOO, IT’S BEEN ADDED TO MY CLOSET AND BECOMES MORE VERSATILE EVERY TIME I LOOK AT IT. STYLES LIKE THIS WERE REALLY POPULAR IN THE LATE 1960’S AND EARLY 1970’S AND, OF COURSE, DURING THEIR FIRST(?) INCARNATION IN THE 1940’S.
STILL HAVEN’T LOOKED AT IT WITH ALL OF MY BLOUSES AND JACKETS – WHICH ONES? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

DISCOVERED! RARE 1960’S HAWAIIAN SHIRTS
Rare fabric, rare makers, rare designs. Men’s shirts, but small – for me! Love these!! I have a few, but these are unique. So fun to find labels that I rarely or have never seen, fabric that I had to research and these great prints that just pop out like nothing else.
And, as always, at a fabulous bargain . . . . . . . . . . . .

LOVE RED – ESPECIALLY WHEN IT’S BAKELITE . . . . . . . .
Can’t say for positive-positive, but I have my suspicions. Absolute confirmation can require a chemist’s lab but, anyway, what a cute little bangle bracelet this will be for summer …

LOVE RED – ESPECIALLY WHEN IT’S BAKELITE . . . . . . . .
Can’t say for positive-positive, but I have my suspicions. Absolute confirmation can require a chemist’s lab but, anyway, what a cute little bangle bracelet this will be for summer – or any time.
Love the shape. Love the color. Love the mystery. What could be better?

A BEAUTIFUL 1930’S BLACK VELVET EVENING HANDBAG
In such good condition, too! That was one of the biggest reasons that I grabbed this, though I do have some others that are similar. The inside is also very clean and undamaged PLUS I can see the maker’s name stamped inside, though it wouldn’t be readable in a photograph. It;s also got little amber-colored “jewels” decorating the snap clasp.
It’s just a small evening bag large enough to carry the essentials (the 1930 essentials, that is) such as lipstick, a comb, some money and a key – oh, maybe some rouge and a hankie, too. Forget the cell phone.
Maybe there might be room for a miniaturized transmitter and camera, in a pinch. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

A WONDERFUL HAT, FROM THE SAME ERA AS YESTERDAY’S DRESS . . . . . . .
The always-dramatic Marlene models three views of this gorgeous and flattering scull-cap style, woven of black and white strips and topped with a face-framing ruffle.
I COULD NOT pass this by! And, it came with a matching hat-pin – always a plus. In it’s day, it was very wearable with lots of different styles from casual frocks to dressier ones. Very elegant.
When everyone wore hats daily, imagine selecting this cute one and setting it on just right before heading out for shopping or lunch. That was when men still whistled openly at women on the street . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..
