The sweetest shade of pink...

This is a lovely piece completed in the Wedgewood-Style / Jasperware-Style made of gorgeous bisque pottery with the beautiful raised reliefs of young Roman / Grecian ladies and a decorative acanthus leaf rim.

There are two scenes done in a cameo style relief that grace either side of this little flower pot / vase. The other two sides are not decorated.

This piece would be delightful filled with flowers, however I could also see this piece being a bit more utilitarian in the bathroom or bo***ir - holding make up brushes or cotton swabs. How fabulous would that be?

This piece is unsigned.

Classic Black and White with Undeniable Vintage Style!

I have many fabulous vintage handbags, but this one is quintessentially vintage in classic black and white! It's quite fabulous! I just love the vintage shape of this bag - a squat little satchel! It's awesome!

This bag is from Markay Bags and was made in the USA.

This lovely top handled purse opens easily with an ornamental clasp that gently lifts up to open and snaps shut to close. It is in great working order. I also love that this bag opens very wide, making it easy to locate items within your bag. Inside there is one little pocket with zips shut with a charming metal zipper.

Pebbled white "leather/pleather" with black patent leather accents pulled together by gold tone hardware, including little feet that will protect the bottom of your bag. However, I think the best feature is the handle, that stays perpetually in the upright position, as if just poised and ready to be fabulous at all times!

Sweet and Lovely!

Bright pink little pom pom flowers add a playful touch to this lovely sheer ivory chiffon scarf from the 1960's. This loosely embroidered scarf is such a delight!

It can be worn a multitude of ways, as seen in the photos and would also make a lovely hair tie! It's just so fresh and fun - it will add a little whimsy to any outfit!

Sweet, yet Stunning!

This gorgeous dress is the sweetest pale blue in color, but the fabulous lace, shiny taffeta, and shimmering sequins brings it to a whole new level! In addition, it has a sensational scalloped lace neckline which repeats further down near the hemline. And the wide ruched taffeta waistline is absolutely stunning as it winds around the back and criss-crosses and finishes with the two most darling bows!

You can never go wrong with pure silk taffeta! Lovely cap sleeves and a flattering sheath silhouette makes this a vintage must-have! Additional details include the original metal zipper, hook and eye closure and is lined, as seen in photos.

This dress was custom-made for a wedding in the 1960's for the maid of honor. I have three coordinating pink dresses for the bridesmaids (which will be listed soon).

A classic vintage design such as this never goes out of style! Weddings, galas, cocktail parties... Rest assured, you'll dazzle in this incredible vintage dress!

Flouncy and Fun!

Vintage Floral Sleeveless Wrap Sundress by Concept 70's Swirl

Flowers and Ruffles! What could be better? This phenomenal sundress is beyond fabulous! With its bright and cheery floral pattern enhanced with a playful ruffle that runs around the neckline down the front of the wrap dress and finishes at the hemline.

100% Nylon gives a light and luxurious feel and will resist wrinkles.

Features wonderful wrap styling with an inside tie, a wide belt to tie jauntily on the side and a discreet snap at the bottom of the V to keep "the girls" hidden.

From the designer Concept 70's, this 1970's dress is a must have addition to your summer wardrobe!

Simply Lovely!

Vintage Shallow Ivory Ceramic Bowl with Gold Rope and Tassel Accents.

Signed - Made in Italy

This enchanting shallow bowl is quite lovely. Highly decorative ceramic work features a fluted decoration gently "pulled" from the center of the bowl and a stunning gold rope detail around the scalloped edge that ends in a "tied" loop and finished with tassels. This piece is just gorgeous!

The gentle lines and striking gold accents will make this piece a true standout in your collected home.

The underside of the bowl is marked "Made in Italy", 38-, and "Ashtray". However, I'm not sure this was ever intended as an ashtray as it is quite large and much too pretty.

Classic Vintage Styling!

This little box bag is as cute as a button. Small in size, but big in fashion style! Classic box style with sensational details - shiny gold tone (possibly brass) flip closure, gold tone "straps" and dual chain handles, and tiny gold tone feet to protect the bottom of the bag. With an inside zippered pocket to keep your valuables safe, this is a "must have" handbag! In addition, there is some great hobnail detail/construction on the interior (see photo).

And the color is so versatile - wear with any color or no color at all! Wear it spring, summer, winter or fall! (see what I did there :))

Inside the bag it is marked Tano of Madrid, however the inside zipper pull is marked Areitio and has a charming horse head and horseshoe motif. The bag may have been designed by Areitio and imported by Tano of Madrid. I'm not 100% sure of the relationship of the two designers.
