    You are getting 4 pieces of vintage children’s clothing in this auction. The pink jacket measures about 14 inches from armpit to armpit and is 16 inches long. It comes with a matching hat. It is in very good condition with no tears or stains—just a little wrinkled! You also get an off white jacket with a muslin type lining and mother of pearl buttons. It does not have buttonholes but has thread where the buttons would be placed (shown in photo). I think this is older than the 1960s and there is a little wear on the one shoulder. The last item is a velvet hat that closes at the chin and comes to a point in the back of the head. It has a lining and a PA Dutch style design embroidered onto it. All is in very good condition with no tears or stains. Shipping is for 2 pounds. A great collection for your dolls or for the history of children’s clothing! I shop estate sales every week so check my other auctions and my EBAY STORE for more great bargains, including more vintage clothing.

    I thought I listed these items last week but what I actually did was put the picture of these items with the wrong title and the wrong description. I did not notice it until the last day of the auction, and apparently neither did anyone else because no one emailed me!

    These are really very ncie for the age of them. The pink coat and hat is like something I probably wore in the late 1950s. The other robe or outfit or whatever it is , is very interesting on how it is constructed. It might even be from the 20s or 30s. Then the brown hat is very very cute and in excellent condition. If someone has a use for these, then you are getting a great deal!

    You are getting 4 panels of these lace curtains, which would fit 2 windows. They measure 82 inches long and about 52 inches wide. I don’t see any place on them that is not perfect but in case I missed something, I will take a return if they don’t work for you. They are very beautiful with the scalloped edge and flower design that looks like a big doily. I am calling the color off-white. They look white when all spread out but they look ivory when folded up on a pile like in the photo. I think they would mainly look white when spread out on the window so I am calling them off white. Shipping is for 3 pounds. I shop estate sales every week so check my other auctions and my EBAY STORE Visit My eBay Store for more great bargains, including more linen and fabric items.

    I didn't realize this curtains were so heavy until I weighed them. Hope the postage is not too much for you because these are really very nice. They have a nice quality feel to them. I used that part about the return because sometimes it is so hard to see everything little piece of an item before it is listed. I try to examine fabric in the strong sunlight but it is still very possible to miss something. Once I sold some scarves and I looked at them quickly and thought they were almost perfect. Then the customer complained and wanted to send them all back because she said they were full of worn spots. Well, when I got them back, I saw some very very tiny tiny places that were not perfect on maybe 3 of them. Oh, well. View My Other Items For Sale

    You are getting both of these Josef originals in this auction because one of them has a repair. The smaller one looks perfect and is the February one with the matching birthstone. The taller one is very unusual with the drinking cats, but the bow on the back has a tip missing and a repair, and a small chip on the flower on the front. Shipping is for 1 pound. Adorable! I shop estate sales every week so check my other auctions and my EBAY STORE Visit My eBay Store for more great bargains, including more decorative items.

    I was very disappointed when I saw the chip and repair on this beautiful item! But I thought it was still worth listing along with the February doll. I have never seen a Josef originals like this one with the drinking cats so perhaps it is rare--I am not sure about that. But these are SO cute! View My Other Items For Sale

    The Doubleday Book of Interior Decorating, 1965

    1001 Decorating Ideas, no date but looks like the late 60s

    How to Decorate Your Living Room, 1944 The books are in very good condition and I have shown a page from each. The older one has only black and white photos. Shipping is 4.00 media for all.

  • 30+ pieces vintage Barbie doll clothing/MOD 70s/pants/dress+ Skipper?

    5:24 PM PST, 8/21/2008

    You are getting over 30 pieces of clothing in this auction. None of it is tagged Barbie but I am pretty sure some of the pieces are from MOD Barbie from the 1970s. There are 3 pants in the middle that are smaller and these might be for Skipper. You get dresses, pants, a purse, a hat or two, some knitted bell-bottom pants, etc. All is in very good condition with a little wear on some pieces. Shipping is 4.00 for all. A lot of nice pieces! I shop estate sales every week so check my other auctions and my EBAY STORE Visit My eBay Store for more great bargains, including more vintage doll items.

    I wasn't sure of the time period of some of these pieces but a few of the dresses and some pants really looked like MOD Barbie fashions. I showed another friend who knows more about Barbie and she thought "most" of them were from the MOD Barbie era. They are not tagged because many of that clothing was not tagged. A few pieces probably fit Skipper. I think those knit bell bottom pants are pretty cool! View My Other Items For Sale

  • Martino Coy fancy mens dress shoes/green/size 10 M

    8:58 AM PST, 8/21/2008

    This pair of men’s dress shoes is a size 10 M as marked on the bottom. They are from Martino Coy. They have a few scuff marks on the side that I have pointed to but from the look of the bottom soles, I don’t think they have ever been worn. They are all man made materials. Shipping is for 3 pounds. I shop estate sales every week so check my other auctions and my EBAY STORE Visit My eBay Store for more great bargains, including more clothing and accessories.

    These shoes are pretty funky! You will get comments if you wear them, most likely. I think they are very cool. They are not leather but they look like leather or alligator or something and unless someone touches them, they won't know the difference just by looking at them on your feet. They do have the scuff marks as I mentioned but this is pretty minor. Shoes never look new again after wearing them just once and these are very new on the soles. Take a chance if you like the look--it's not for everybody! View My Other Items For Sale

    You are getting a figurine of these collectible angels from the American Cancer Society called “Dreamsicles.” This one is called “Don’t Rock the Boat” and is about 4 x 5 ½ inches. It is in very good condition with no chips or cracks. There might be some feathers missing from the duck—I don’t know how many he had on his head! Dated 1995. Shipping is for 1 pound. Really cute expressions! I shop estate sales every week so check my other auctions and my EBAY STORE Visit My eBay Store for more great bargains, including more Dreamsicles.

    These guys are really cute! I have  another group of 4 that I have listed and  think I have 3 more besides that. I know I dropped one when I was getting them out of my car and the wings broke! I picked them up at a local estate sale--somebody must have had a collection of them. The expressions are very endearing. View My Other Items For Sale

  • Vintage lace tablecloth/white doily/flowers/roses

    8:53 AM PST, 8/21/2008

    This vintage tablecloth measures about 64 x 86 inches. It has a scalloped edge and a lace design. It is not quite perfect. I have pointed to one place where a repair has been made and another that shows a faint mark. It is still very beautiful and can be used as is or cut up for other projects. It has a beautiful flower design throughout the piece. Shipping is for one pound. I shop estate sales every week so check my other auctions and my EBAY STORE Visit My eBay Store for more great bargains, including more tablecloths.

    This tablecloth is really nice even though it does have some issues. I washed it once but it didn't come out perfect and I like to have all my tablecloths perfect! However, I didn't want to spend any more time working on this one but I still think it is very nice. It has a great feel to it and it is really detailed. I picked it up at a local estate sale along with some other linens that I will be listing. Check it out! View My Other Items For Sale
