vintage scores

This 1930's/40's vintage lace dress and it fits me perfectly... so wonderful.

I want to marry Ben again and wear this dress in a small garden wedding. Hmm... we are celebrating our 5 year anniversary next month, so maybe a teeny wedding could be recreated. That would be fun! Plus, it is always nice to reaffirm those vows again.

Also scored this vintage child bathing suit. Why can't they make more swimsuits like these?

Ebay and etsy, oh how I love you! Sometimes, most times, you have just the best things!

Have you found any good vintage things lately?

    Holy cow, that dress is stupendous!! I stand behind your vow renewal idea, for the sheer fact this dress deserves an OCCASION.

    Sweet finds! I've been searching for vintage dresses and swimsuits as well, but I can't seem to find one that'll push me to go ahead and get it. Maybe it's just me being picky. High five to you though! :D

    A dress that great needs a vow renewal to show it off! Great finds! I got some nice vintage pyrex pieces not too long ago. I love a good vintage find, especially when they are scored at thrift store prices!

    cute suit. I picked up more vintage glasses for my to-happen lemonade/iced tea party I want to have this summer. Also picked up a little red dish for my jewelry that I'm loving looking at.
