I found........a metal Aladdin lunchbox, an Anchor Hocking refrigerator jar, a Big Beam flashlight, two Avon perfume bottles, and a neato lidded something. The base and lid handle look like they could be mercury glass. Educate me if you know what it is!
I've been hitting the clothing racks too........
That dress. It just makes me smile. I love the print of the fabric. The bodice has the sweetest little buttons.
This skirt has a pocket! And I love the pearly buttons down the front.....
Oh this sweater. I die......
Now here's where you might question my judgement a bit.
Or maybe you already have.
Anyway.........
It was basically love at first vintage coat sight.
Maybe I should try it on for you..........
The cuffs!
The double collar!!
The pink buttons!!!
THE CHEVRONY STITCHING!
I might even like it more than my thrifted leather coat!
GASP!
Am I completely off my rocker?

ReplyDeleteI love seeing what you've recently splurged on. The clothes are all great. Fashion Show! Fashion Show! Fashion Show! You need to try them on for us. I swear, my dad used to have that kind of a lunch box. What great finds all around.
ReplyDeleteActually I think I like that coat best of all here. (With that sweater a close second.)
ReplyDeleteAwesome finds! I think I know what your lidded bowl is but I'm not completely sure I'm correct. I'll look through one of my reference books :)
ReplyDeleteOHHHH! I'd love to know if you find it!!!!
DeleteThe coat fools you for sure. It looks like a strange choice on the hanger, but it looks great on you. But your leather jacket is awesome too... Torn!!!
ReplyDeleteNew follower from the GCF Hop. Hope you will hop over and follow back! Glad to have found you! I have one of the Avon Christmas stocking from when I was a little girl!!!

ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteJust found you via Lara's Thrifty Thursdays Link Party. I love that you call it a "neato lidded something." It is cute, looks like something a genie would come out of. What are you going to use it for? I can totally see it being a candle holder and making a candle in it. Also I love the polka dotted skirt with the pocket, that sweater is rockin' and loving that jacket! Great finds!

Thank you for dropping by! That's a great suggestion for my neato lidded thingy! ;)
DeleteThe pattern on that dress is AMAZING! I also happen to be a fan of that style of vintage winter coat. Added bonus, they are usually super warm. A lot of them have zip off sleeves too!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I love them both!!!!!! These sleeves are on for good, but I love the jacket anyway!!!
DeleteI REALLY need to go thrifting more often! Awesome stuff you found!
