Ebay Excitement

I just won this antique sewing machine on Ebay! It dates to 1872! I only want it for the table/cover. I will be detaching the original machine and replacing it with my new Janome, which I started using for the first time yesterday. I actually sewed another dress from the same pattern I used last time, but with different fabric...I'll have to post a couple of pictures as soon as I've finished hemming it and making the buttonholes!

Morning Fashion Muse

Lately, I've been enjoying the blog Sally Jane Vintage.  The author has a fondness for vintage clothing, thrift shopping, and bargain-hunting and she routinely posts the most adorable outfits -- impeccably styled, modeled and photographed.  Better yet, she has an Ebay store, so many of the pieces she shows on her blog end up for sale only days later!  I just love the vintage high-waisted jeans and suspenders she's rocking on today's entry.

Sister In the City

Yesterday I decided to start selling some of my stuff on Ebay. I enlisted Erin as my model and the Kiddo as my styling assistant. And by "styling assistant" I mean he expertly rummaged through my closet and busied himself with organizing my shoes. And by "organizing" I mean he chewed all the high heels into oblivion.

The first item that we decided to list is a vintage red knee-length silk skirt. I thought it would be fun (and perhaps a good selling technique) to style an outfit around the skirt and photograph the gorgeous Erin in a picturesque setting. Well, we had so much fun! And it turns out that I love the pictures in their own right...

Ebay Find of the Day

I'm loving this vintage 40's dress currently listed on ebay. Not only is it a great style with amazing details, but with that zipper front it's so perfectly breastfeeding-friendly!
