This is a great 1940s set - two piece swimsuit with matching dress and shoes -



I posted about this over in the Vintage Bulletin, but I need to show it off here too because it is so fabulous - a swimsuit exactly like Marilyn's!

A wife's revenge - 'I Hate Dishes' dishtowel -


Alice in Wonderland chenille bedspread -



This would be so great for one of the bedrooms in Strathmere - a blue chenille bedspread with nautical theme -

Hey Boo-Boo! Very cool Yogi Bear twin sized chenille bedspreads -


OK, you know how I'm obsessed with Sailor-looking stuf? Well check out these fab 1940s pants!

Some vintage dresses for me!

You may have noticed a lot of dresses being added for sale at the website over the past month or so. Of course I kept a few for myself (10 actually! That's more than I usually get to keep) Here are some quick shots of a few of the dresses that are now mine. The first two are Nelly Dons, they came with the other Nelly Dons that were listed on the site. These two are still kind of iffy on me keeping them though, because they are a bit snug at the waist. I'm sucking it in hardcore in the blue dress, so you may end up seeing that one up for sale if I can't shake the 10 pounds that I'm trying to get rid of. Usually I go for dresses with fuller skirts but I just loved the fitted look of these two. The third dress I really love and it makes me want Summer to come quickly! I even have a cheap pair of flip-flops from Old Navy that match perfectly!

evintage tag - Viva Las Vegas

This week's eVintage Blog Tag - Ready for rockabilly? The rockabilly music and fashion themed weekender event called VIVA LAS VEGAS is coming up soon! Lots of vintage out there to be had in time to wear….what are your thoughts?

FAVORITE ROCKABILLY LOOK PIECE IN YOUR INVENTORY?
Here are a few - a cute Plus sized Day Dress, a Hot Pink Wrap top with full skirt that has attached capri pants underneath, and a Turquoise gingham dress with embroidery -




DO YOU WEAR THE ROCKABILLY LOOK AT ALL?
In the Summer I'm usually in 1950s Day dresses with vintage shoes. I guess it's kind of a subtle Rockabilly look.

CRUCIAL ROCKABILLY VINTAGE ACCESSORY FOR GIRLS?
Kick-Ass shoes!

FOR GUYS?
a Rockabilly Gal

PERSONAL STYLE. SANDY OR RIZZO?
I'm one of the 9 people in the world who doesn't like Grease. But if forced to choose, I'd say in my mind I'd like to be like Rizzo, but I'm probably more Sandy in my little 50s Day Dresses.

AGE OLD QUESTION….ELVIS OR THE BEATLES?
For Rockabilly Elvis, but for all time of course it's the Beatles.
