Phew!  It took a little while to get all of this up; I wanted to get the shipping as accurate as possible as well as list all necessary details for each piece.  I’m just making my September 1st self-imposed deadline!  Anyhow, please take a look when you can.   I’ve got some really beautiful things in the shop for really reasonable prices.  Just wanted to note: I’ll reimburse shipping overcharges that exceed $1.00 USD.  That might be especially helpful if you are combining goods.

Also, if you order over $20, I’ll include a free vintage hankie in your shipment! (Unless you only order crochet patterns since I can’t email you the hankies, hee hee.)  I’ve got a bunch of white hankies with simple designs that I just hand washed so they are ready for new homes.

Happy looking!

Style I Love is a new post theme I’m going to try out.  I can’t help but mentally organize things that I love in my head, particularly when it comes to fashion, so I might as well post about them!

Anyway, you know how something catches your eye and then you see it (or something similar) everywhere?  I’ve been that way about vintage plaid dresses for at least a few years, but especially now.  I’ve collected my favorites on flickr, above.  You might notice that both Anja (Clever Nettle) and Strawberry Koi are featured multiple times – I couldn’t help it though, they’ve got some of the best vintage plaid dresses I’ve seen around!

I have yet to find the perfect one for me (I nearly bid on one on eBay but decided it, though cute,  really wasn’t my style).   I did, however, find this precious little plaid fabric that I hope to use with one of my vintage patterns:

This pattern, Simplicity 3561, is from my collection.  I’d probably use a different (non-plaid) fabric for this but isn’t it darling?  I love the bow and, I mean, sheer plaid fabric?

Speaking of Clever Nettle, this pretty dress is for sale in her shop (Check out her other plaid pretties as well):

This is the sweetest Robin’s egg blue dress at Ninth Avenue Vintage:

Check out this utterly charming rosy-pink 50s dress from Vintage Rose Clothing:

Who knew plaid could be so much fun and so sweet?  Happy Wednesday, peeps!
