I love clothing that is both feminine and comfortable, and this easy to wear top by French Dressing Jeans (with tags still on) gets points in both categories!

The blush pink is flattering to most skin tones, the batwing sleeve creates an elegant silhouette, and the length is a soft drape to just past the hips & bum. There are taupe and black accent lines nicely placed at the elbow and in slimming verticals down the front. You could pin this top shut with a brooch if you like, however, unlike many other similar open front styles I've tried on, this one actually looks very nice as is. Layers very well over a long-sleeved tee, a cami, or a blouse.

Materials: 75% acrylic, 25% nylon
Size: M (it is such a nice drapey fit, with soft shoulders, I'd range it from size 8-12)
Price: $20

*SOLD* Beautiful antique glass kerosene lamp, with fluted clear chimney and pale blue, blush, and grey floral accent. There is a working wick mechanism, stamped 'Lamplight Farms.' The lamp stands 15" in height, and approximately 6" across the base. You could have this made into a standard electric lamp, or you can (carefully!) use it as a kerosene lamp.

*SOLD*
Pierrot is a character whose origins go back to the 17th century.   A figure of naivete and hopeful (though unreturned) love,  he is often depicted with his only friend, the moon.   This antique Art Nouveau handheld brass mirror shows Pierrot and Pierrette reaching for the moon.

Some of you may know the song "Au clair de la lune," and be familiar with the verse that includes the name Pierrot.   Did you know that this song has also been recorded as a bawdy folk tune?   If you re-read the lyrics, it isn't too hard to see the double entendre ;)

The mirror measures 9" in length, and almost 5" across at its widest point.

*SOLD* This lamp features a gorgeous amber glass base (see last photo for detail), and a milk glass shade with a spray of apricot roses and baby's breath.   The amber glass base is 6 1/4" in diameter, and the whole lamp stands a little over 12" tall.   There are a few signs of wear, but this lovely lamp has many years of useful beauty yet left in it :)

*SOLD* These vintage Pyrex bowls pack a lot of turquoise zing into a small package!They each have some scratches and wear - evidence of a well-lived life, say I. At 3 3/4" tall and 6" in diameter, they make sweet oversized cereal bowls, small mixing bowls (when you need to prep spices for a recipe!), or even pretty presenters for candy, berries, or candles.

Price: $20 for the pair

Bold colour is all the rage right now, and bright beaded necklaces are an easy way to add fun hues to your outfits! Four vintage beaded pretties, in varying lengths, all for a very reasonable $15. SALE! $10

Inspiration: Using pops of colour to accessorize a So-Very-You outfit. The warm red and orange tones in her chic headpiece (and OH the HAIR!), beaded necklace, armful of bracelets, and bobby socks all pick up on the red tones in her skirt. This stylish creature (thank you, Sartorialist!) then puts it all over the top with her choice of lipstick. Va. Va. Voom.

*SOLD* This very pretty vintage Japanese vase stands 11" tall and features two peacocks within a floral setting - I can identify chrysanthemums and calendula, and something that looks quite daisy-like as well. In Chinese and Japanese art, the peacock symbolizes beauty and dignity. This vase is lovely with, or without, the enhancement of flowers.

*SOLD* This is a remarkable collection of small vintage dental bottles, ranging between 1" and 3" in height, and made from a variety of plastic and glass materials.   Many of them have the original product still intact - everything from solvents and desinfectants to dental cements and porcelain powders used in the making of implants and veneers.  I would strongly advisde against opening any of the bottles without researching the safety of doing so.

They're mostly from the 1940s-1960s and are a joy to the lover of retro and vintage typefaces.   There are 20 in this set, though only 19 are visible in the photo, there is one other bottle, tucked away behind the others in the top row.

Price: $30 for the set of 20

*Please note, there is one other set of 20 bottles available, very similar in age, condition, and size.  If you're interested in both sets, we can fiddle with the price a tad :)

I'll admit it, this sloppy weather sees me cozily couch-potatoing most nights. And yes, I even have dinner or my evening tea & snack while chortling at 'Parks & Recreation.'

Our small collection of retro trays gets put to good use during these times. Perhaps you'll find this colourful 1958 charmer just as handy :)
