    Those are really great finds! Especially the patterns! I've yet to find patterns from the 30's & 40s that cheap. Great deal! :)

      I have been hoping and envisioning the dress in an outfit post since I put it in the car! :)

    You've done well this month! I especially like the sewing patterns (lucky you!) and that amazing parasol.

    Stunning finds! I adore that beaded purse, and the china plates, but those Simplicity patterns are. simply. perfect! I find Simplicity is much my favourite pattern company for 1940's and 1950's patterns. They always have the cutest styles. I hope I get to see some dresses made from these. ♡

      Yes, a good amount of the patterns I've purchased look like they've never been used or cut, so maybe that means I'm supposed to!
