oh all these vintage dresses (and more) were in one spot!so i had all of these blogs posts to do this past week, but surprisingly, i ended up so busy that all of my content is still incomplete! i did a sewing project and turned a vintage feedsack into a lovely dress, and my mom sent me two more surprise packages in the mail. but when i sat down at the computer to write about it, the only thing i could think about were my estate sale finds from this morning! (though i promise to get back to those other lovely things soon!)
i managed to procure quite a few dresses and tons of old ephemera. in fact, i got a box full of adorable greeting cards and valentines, some of them possibly as old as the 40s, though i can’t be certain. and all of the dresses are very old. i even have a very delicate little 30s dress, which i’m pretty sure is not going to fit me. so that’s a hint to expect to find it in the etsy shop some time next week…
a little sampler of some of the things i found: vintage hankies, stuffed dog, vintage greetings, and a lovely art deco style purse!and there were tons of vintage handkerchiefs. it’s funny because just yesterday i dug up an old box of vintage hankies that i had buried in a drawer, and lo and behold i found some lovely additions to my collection. it’s a silly addiction since i seem to find them everywhere, but i just can’t help myself! and who knows what compelled me to buy that silly little stuffed dog? he just looked so cute sitting on the table all alone. ah, and i was just getting fed up with lousy estate sales. ;)

I am so jealous~ I didn't get to shop at all this week because I have been too busy! You found some lovely things and I love the cute photographs of them.
Happy weekend.
The dress that is farthest to the left is my favorite!
Great finds!! I'm jealous that you got to go to such a seemingly amazing estate sale. I'm looking forward to your new additions to the shop.
Lovely finds! I especially like your new dresses.
