Recent Purchases

Things have been quite stressful lately, and for me, nothing fixes stress like some new purchases! I have behaved though, as nothing has cost me more than 25 bucks.

First, I purchased this beautiful antique glove box, which I am using to store my bakelite jewelery collection (as I only have 2 pars of gloves...not enough to fill a whole box)
 Then I "won" this box of 4 pairs of full fashioned stockings on Ebay. How rare it is for me to find a shade that I like (because I am so pale and most stockings that I find are too dark for me...it just looks ridiculous) I absolutely love vintage stockings - they look better, feel better, and last longer than modern stockings. I especially love cuban heels, although european or french heels are just as nice.
 
Lastly, I purchased this Pendleton 49'er from my friend Dellaney at Cobblestone Vintage. I have wanted one forever, but have never found one that is both in my size and affordable. There is a tiny hole on the back that will be very easy to fix, but she insisted on lowering the price because of it.
Here are some old 49'er ads:


 Always,
