See You Later

Hello everyone!  I hope you're all travelling well.  I'm getting back on track after health issues.  I've decided I won't be blogging for the rest of this year and will return to blogging next year.  In the meantime, I'm going to continue with my destash auctions on eBay at favouritevintagefinds from later this month.  I'll be auctioning vintage jewellery, vintage and vintage inspired clothing, and vintage handbags.

The two photos above are by the talented Janine White of Janine White Photography.  The dress in all the photos in this post is a vintage 70's Gunne Sax dress that I use to own.  Janine won the dress in one of my eBay auctions and has become one of my fave photographers.

Best wishes until next time.  :)

For Auction on eBay this Sunday

 

Continuing on with my destashing project (slowly but surely).  Here's a sneak peek of the fab original vintage 50's and 60's dresses I'll have up for auction on eBay at favouritevintagefinds for 10 days starting this Sunday night, March 10.    

Over the next several months (and probably beyond), I'll be listing vintage clothing, vintage handbags and vintage jewellery from my personal collection on eBay.  I won't be featuring every individual item that I'll be listing on eBay here in blog posts anymore.  Instead I'll feature my favourite picks and mention the other items I'll be listing. 

Until next time.  Best wishes all. :)

The Dress That Nearly Got Away

 
Back in 2011 I had a destash of some of my vintage Gunne Sax dresses, and sold them on eBay.  Here's a dress I was going to sell...so glad I decided to keep it.  :)

Hope you're all travelling well, my dears.  See you next time. :)

Forgotten Faves

Hello everyone!  Lovely to be back for 2013.  I've been sorting through my stashes of vintage clothing again - working out what I want to keep, give to charity and sell on eBay.   I've found many clothes that I'd kinda forgotten about as they've been squirreled away for many years - for example these two dresses (which I'm keeping).

This 70's dress is 100% cotton and is by Alice Stuart.  It was kindly given to me by an old neighbour of mine 18 years ago when I was 19.  It fitted me perfectly then.  It nearly fits me now...

I bought this 70's matte polyester crepe dress (label removed) about five years ago from a thrift shop.  It was on the discount rack for only a couple or a few dollars.  It didn't fit me at the time, so I squirreled it away.  It fits me now, yay! :)

 

Until next time.  Best wishes. :)

Kathryn's Faves

Kathryn has her own vintage inspired fashion label, and sells her fabulous creations on etsy. I'll be hosting a giveaway for Kathryn from this Friday, so you'll find out about her shop then. For the duration of the giveaway, Kathryn will also be offering a wonderful 30% off everything in her shop to all Favourite Vintage Finds readers!

Inspired by the 50's, Kathryn loves to create feminine items that reflect her personal style. Here's a taste of Kathryn's personal style - her two favourite vintage finds. Both from the 50's, the dress was found at a vintage fair, and the Amano shoes were found on ebay.




Enjoy your week my dears! See you Friday! :)
