Shop Update...Waiting For Spring

I have finally settled into the brick & mortar shop enough that I can spend some time adding some new items to my online shop, www.clubvintagefashions.com.

New "waiting for spring" fashions and a great NOS Coach purse from the 1970s.

Letting Go...Starting With Emilio Pucci

I have decided that I am going to let go of a few pieces of my "most hoarded" vintage collection. It is making me hyperventilate a little just to think about doing it, let alone actually doing it!

I will start with my matching set of Emilio Pucci for Formfit Rogers lingerie. These carefully hoarded pieces have been in my collection for quite a few years. The set consists of a fabulous slip dress with a built-in underwire bra and a matching pair of panties.

Letting go is good for you, right?

I have just listed both items in my store, ClubVintage over at Etsy.

This Weeks Estate Sale Treasures

This post is going to be a big tease because I have no pictures of my newest finds. It was overcast and raining all day so picture taking was impossible.

I found some wonderful pieces at the first stop of the day....two formal 50's gowns...five late 40's to early 50's dresses including one that is pink & black...several coats, a nice selection of purses, hats and a sexy 50's swimsuit!

On my second stop the only thing I got was one dress...it is a beautiful aqua blue color fitted sheath, it would look right at home on the set of Mad Men .

The third stop was a treasure trove of vintage sewing patterns, mostly uncut from the 1950's & 1960's.
I also found a great brown faux alligator round suitcase style beauty case filled with sample bottles from Beauty Counselor. Each pink-topped glass bottle fits into its personal built-in pink elastic niche, just what every vintage loving gal needs!

Enough of the tease....if the sun pops out tomorrow I'll snap some pictures of my fabulous haul.

Sharing The Love...

I wanted to share some "must haves" from my favorite Etsy sellers, enjoy!

More Fall & Winter....

I know that for some of you it is still blistering hot...middle of a heat wave....but for me, here in Michigan....fall is in the air.
It has not been a hot summer here by any means....but now in the early mornings you can smell fall, feel the crispness....plus the calendar is almost ready to turn to the September page.
When you work at a school, as I have for many years, the September page of the calendar marks the end of your lazy summer days....the tingles begin about a fresh, new year and all of the ups and downs it will bring....the turning of a page signals the circle to begin its spin....school time.

I want to share with you my newest offerings....fall and winter is just around the corner....time to get ready!
