GORGEOUS ROSIE:eusa_clap

 

[Sunny]

Ooh exciting! Those sleeves take the cake. I hope the alterations aren't too much of a pain.

 

[RetroModelSari]

Kat such a shame about your bunch of trowsers!!! I hope they can be altered to match!!!

Rosie, that dress is very cute!

 

[Rosie]

Thanks ladies. If it looks as though it's going to be too detailed for my limited skills, I'm going to jet it over to my auntie who is magical with the sewing machine.

 

[RetroModelSari]

Oh no!!! I got my pattern magazine, but he pattern with the women clothes is missing!!! I wrote the seller to complain about it… Let¬¥s see what happens..

Got this today, it has got all the US bases on the Island of Oahu, including Pearl Harbour, it is in gorgeous condtion and even comes with the box and the cover, they sure knew how to look after things back then . It is a lot bigger than i though it was going to be too, actually measuring 4" in diameter (across).

I picked up this coat a few weeks ago in the wrong section for $5 It has paint in the lining, but heck, can't see it when it's on!

 

[Kim_B]

Ack!!!

I just placed a bid on a dress that is extremely cute and just my size, but now I'm hoping I'm outbid because I'm so intimidated by the color!!!! This is dumb! It's a beautiful dress, but my goodness it's *red*!


ETA - *PHEW!!!* I was outbid at the last second! This is absurd - are any of you this way? I feel so silly!!!

5 dollar coats...

Here is my 5 dollar coat...

and a close up of the hood...which has flash...so the color is off..but cute little studs along the edge!

It needs 3 buttons but thats it really....

 

[Lauren]

Yay for 5 buck coats!

 

[Rosie]

Lauren and Neecerie, those are great. :eusa_clap Neecerie I LOVE the studs, it's different and sparkly things tickle my fancy.

Lauren is that a Lamb's wool collar?

edit: I see, it's like an edging, still fabulous!

Yesterday I picked this up at a nearby antiques shop for $10.00.

I am going in search of Krylon or some other paint that I can use to spruce it up today. It also needs new fabric inside. I might see if I can add a small mirror, too.
I hope this picture is viewable to others.

The colour of the ladys face is chipped off a bit, but I HAD to have those!!!

I bet an american soldier gave those to his lover before going back to America with the promise to come back to pick her up and the baby they were going to have, but I guess I just phantasise ;-)

You can actually open the "Mother"-broche and put in a photo. I want to check out if there is a actual photo in it and if not I´ll either put in a photo of my mother or one of my first born baby as soon as I have one
