If you're young at heart









 Truly one of kind, sort of amazing Disney Sailor dress coming to the shop in the morning. A 1950s home economics project, hand-sewn with metal zipper at bust.

Heavy cotton with the cutest sleeves. The maker then hand-penned 8 inch Disney characters along the back of the collar, the left bust and all long the skirt front and back.

Included are Dopey, Snow White, Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse (twice), Minnie Mouse, Betty Boop, Pluto, Charlie McCarthy, Olive Oil and Popeye.

For the young at heart. A great piece of wearable folk art from the 50s.

Bombshell




The newly released photos of M. Monroe last week had me looking through many of the old ones as well. Still so captivating after all these years. It is said that she didn't create as look as much as evoke an atmosphere. I agree, so I couldn't help but dress up the atmosphere of the shop with a little Marilyn.

Any of you vintage ladies have sage advice for me?
