****SOLD**** Busty & colourful vintage 80s dress! $15

****SOLD**** I call this dress the Aurora Borealis. I love the way the colours (oh those vibrant 80s tones!) blend into each other. The waist is elasticized, and would fit someone who wears small to medium (6 to 10), as long as she is quite busty. The crossover top is rather blousy in fit.
Price: $15

****SOLD**** Grey H&M top, M: $10

****SOLD****
Label: H&M

Who says a grey cotton tee can't have pizazz? Will you look at the sleeves on this one?

****SOLD**** Owl teapot: $10

****SOLD****This little owl lost his head (my friend Dickie claims that it was a party trick gone horribly wrong), but the loss won't ruffle his (porcelain) feathers. He knows he still looks good. Give a headless owl a new home? My hope is that a simple white teapot lid will look quite dignified, however I don't want to get ahead of myself.

****SOLD**** Swingy belted sweater by Cassis, M: $15


****SOLD****
Label: Cassis

The last few days I've been living in my thickest coziest knits. Cold? No doubt about it!
Fight the cold in this comfy , yet stylish, belted sweater in dusty pink with dark purple embroidery. The fit is loose enough to wear over another long-sleeved top, yet structured enough for it to look good, not sloppy. The wide kimono sleeves add to an already unique silhouette!

****SOLD**** Baby its cold outside...so wear a hat already! $10

****SOLD****
Back in college, my go-to winter socks used to be a warm wooly grey pair, with a beige and red stripe at the top. It was the (sigh) grunge hey-day, and we were all guilty of contrasting plaids, plastic butterfly barrettes, cheap slip dresses, baby tees with slogans like "Wild Thing" printed on them, and trying to make our 8 hole Docs look a little less...pristine. I wouldn't revisit any of those fashion crimes...except for those wonderful warm wooly socks. And this hat. Which reminds me of those socks ;) It is large hat.

****SOLD**** Vintage slinky metal belt, double-strand, S: $15

****SOLD****
My current TV obsession is Mad Men - and I am particularly keen on the ladies' accessories.
Oh, to have a stab at that show's closet! I enjoy the way they celebrate Joan's lush curves, and oh, the WAISTLINES! Show yours off with this slinky pale gold-tone metal belt with long metal clasp. Belt appears very yellow gold toned in the photo - blame that on the lighting - it is actually very very pale gold in colour.
Size: XS/S (I wear a 6 and it fits high on my waist).
Price: $15




Inspiration: how much better would any of these outfits look with a thin metallic belt?

***SOLD*** 1950s Owl alarm clock, made in Brooklyn: $10

****SOLD****
I recently purchased three alarm clocks. Three. Really, how badly do I want to wake up? I couldn't resist the kooky retro charm of this one, but I'm afraid it'll have to go.
Made by the United Clock Corp. of Brooklyn, N.Y., this owl clock stands about 6" tall (on bright little feet!), has glow-in-the-dark numbers and might even provoke a grin or two in the morning.
