yesterday i began listing swimsuits.  i know most people in my geographic region are not thinking about swimwear right now.

still, i have a really hot collection of vintage swimwear.  before i could get here and blog about them they began to sell!

i just love swimwear from the 50's and 60's.  that era created swimsuits with such figure flattering shapes. they remind me of pin up photos.

here is the one i posted today which has yet to sell

vintage pink catalina swimsuit

and here are the two that are gone.  i still want to share them.  they were both lined with cotton and polished cotton on the top suit layer.  the orange one is actually much lighter and sunnier than my camera could capture.

1970's lavender daisy jumpsuit
adorable

the print on this dress is brilliant. a definite indian flavor in the print...hot!! it has little exotic birds and flowers. the orignal design was not for a belt but it does work with a belt.

1960's sheath dress bird & flower dress 
hot as curry!



well, back to the closets! stay tuned...

happy new year to you!

2009 - the foundations are set!
in another life, i used to be a co-owner of a B&M shop. due to relocation, major life changes and going back to school, i had to take a break.
i have been slowly and methodically rebuilding again. some of the behind the scenes projects that were keeping me from getting the blog up and running on a consistent basis are now complete. i can now begin to focus more on the communications side of internet shopkeeping. it feels so good to write and it will be nice to finally get to do more of it.

the old shop gets better
