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.  :)

Fave Pick for Auction on eBay: Patricia Smith Needlepoint Moon Bag & Belt

Update:  This bag and belt (and the other Patricia Smith Moon Bag mentioned below) didn't reach the reserve prices at auction.  They are now listed on eBay at favouritevintagefinds as Buy it Now listings with Best Offers.

I'll have this fabulous vintage 1984 Patricia Smith Moon Bag and fab matching belt (below) up for auction on eBay at favouritevintagefinds for 10 days starting this Sunday night, May 5.  

Patricia Smith Moon Bags were designed by artist Patricia Smith.  They were made from the late 1970's until the mid 1990's and weren't mass produced.  Today Patricia Smith Moon Bags and accessories are sought after collector's items.  There are a variety of styles of Moon Bags and most have distinctive lacquered panels, handles or accents that were hand painted by Patricia Smith.   

This grey leather bag features needlepoint embroidery on the front and back and a removeable hand painted lacquered panel.  It can be used as a shoulder bag or a clutch (the shoulder strap can be tucked inside the bag).  The matching belt (below) also features needlepoint embroidery and a hand painted lacquered buckle.   Needlepoint Moon Bags and belts were sold as kits.  The needlework was do-it-yourself, and when the needlework was completed, the kits were sent to Moon Bags Inc for assembly. 

 

 

I'll also have the following vintage items up for auction this Sunday:  another 80's Patricia Smith needlepoint Moon Bag, a 70's flutter sleeve floral maxi dress, a 70's denim embroidered dress, a 70's floral wool blend maxi skirt, a 50's/60's crinoline petticoat/slip/skirt, and a 70's embroidered flare sleeve top.  

Best wishes until next time, my dears.  :)

Fave Pick for Auction on eBay: Vintage Floral Gunne Sax Style Maxi Dress

 

I'll have this fabulous vintage 70's Gunne Sax style dress up for auction on eBay at favouritevintagefinds for 10 days starting this Sunday night, April 14.  This dress is cotton blend voile, acetate lined, and has sheer sleeves.  

In addition to this dress, I'll have the following vintage items up for auction:  another 70's floral maxi dress,  a 50's swing rockabilly dress, a vintage 80's Bally leather handbag, and an 80's brocade and lace party dress.  I'll also have a vintage 50's inspired crinoline slip/petticoat up for auction. 

See you next time all.  Best wishes. :)

Fave Pick for Auction on eBay: Vintage French Tambour Embroidered Beaded Bag

This vintage 50's/60's French Tambour embroidered beaded bag is certainly a fave find of mine and certainly gorgeous, but, it's time for me to part with it.  It will be up for auction on eBay at favouritevintagefinds for 10 days starting this Sunday night, March 24.  

In addition to this bag, I'll also have the following vintage items up for auction:  a 50's/60's embroidered bag, a 50's lace chiffon dress, a 70's batik tribal print caftan dress, and a 70's floral lace maxi skirt.
