Emma Simons' Bag



Beautiful Victorian child's purse with her name done in beadwork. I love personal touches like embroidered names. It's on ebay right now for $144.

80's Bondage Top


I sold this on eBay recently...pretty awesome!

70's Knit Dress



This is like the perfect 70's sweater dress.

30's Dress with Amazing Details


I don't like putting up such bad photos, but wow this dress is so cool! I love the short sleeve/long sleeve thing.

40's Studded Wedges




It's been hard to steal photos from ebay lately- sorry this is so messed up! Click on photo for whole thing!

20's Dress



Look at those details!

40's or 30's Onesie



These are bad photos, but look at the knit. This might actually be a swimsuit.

Little Boys 1940's Swim Trunks

Something about these is a little disturbing.

60's Schlitz Beer Bikini

And you thought Budweiser invented the bikini babe/beer shill!

70's Bandanna Print Platforms


These have already been posted on my other blog, but they're worth another look!

Most Amazing Locket Ever!!!


This went for a lot of money, but who cares? This is worth like a trillion dollars! It seems fake! I've never seen anything like it! I wonder if this was made for someone whose husband worked at sea. I love the way whales and similar animals were depicted as dragon-like monsters, especially pre-photography.

Victorian Reproduction Jacket


According to the auction, this was a reproduction, though you can't really tell from the photos. I think it must have been a quality vintage repro. It's quite jaunty!

30's Velvet Dress with Zipper Pull


I often wondered why fancy dresses from this time period often had a zipper front, because zippers are generally considered quite casual. Simone told me it was because zippers had just been invented and they wanted to show them off, hence this rather adorned zipper.
