I've looked on with much yearning at that site (and it's frequent vintage offerings) from Canada for years now. I so, so wish they would open it up to international bidders, too. Until that day though, I'll just stick with what eBay has to offer when it comes to online auctions. <br /><br />Thank you again (it was so thoughtful!), my friend, I really hope you have a beautiful Valentine's Day!<br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-639545892042141962013-02-14T07:08:07.844-08:002013-02-14T07:08:07.844-08:00Jessica,

It's on a bid system and sometimes it stays pretty low. Seems that there are at least 10,000 pieces of clothing each day...some vintage. Every day at least 2,000 new pieces. This coat reminded me I need to tell you about the site. You really have to browse a lot to find cool things, but you can put them in your "watch list."<br /><br />http://www.shopgoodwill.com/auctions/Vintage-Wns-Cream-Faux-Fur-Collar--Cuffs-Coat-12493137.html<br /><br />Have a great Valentine's day!!<br />KarenShabby Brocante, Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02883353869007660698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-32703931924729962792013-02-13T14:56:51.274-08:002013-02-13T14:56:51.274-08:00you look gorgeous! this 40s hat is fantastic. it t...you look gorgeous! this 40s hat is fantastic. it totally adorable!Ms. Falconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02131781752240288828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-14152162468397978842013-02-13T12:33:17.774-08:002013-02-13T12:33:17.774-08:00Beautiful outfit, the colours suit you so well, to...Beautiful outfit, the colours suit you so well, too.

I completely agree, so I didn't set out with that intention while putting it together, I noticed it while editing the shots and just love it (I'm a die-hard fan of the Victorian era). <br /><br />It's awesome that you settled on grey for your living room paint colour. If it wasn't for the fact that our current sofa and love seat are a sandy light brown, I think we might have when we moved into this place last year, too. I'd love to have a grey living room one day as well. <br /><br />Happiest Valentine's Day wishes, my friend!<br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-4439235412878313992013-02-13T07:53:37.530-08:002013-02-13T07:53:37.530-08:00What a gorgeous look!

Blending vintage and...Thank you very much, Heather. Blending vintage and vintage appropriate clothes is one of my favourite approaches to dressing (and one that I really recommend all vintage clothing fans consider adopting if they're not doing so already), as it doesn't limit you in anyway (by which I mean you can avail of whatever vintage or modern garments you like instead of potentially pigeonholing yourself into one camp or the other).<br /><br />Thank you! That lipstick (Diva from MAC) is probably the second most frequently worn shade in my make-up case. In the tube it almost reads as being goth, but once on, it's the most wonderful shade of dark bourdeax and it works surprisingly well with a number of different vintage outfits (got to love that!).<br /><br />Wishing you a fantastic Valentine's Day!<br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-86146065179009005112013-02-13T05:42:18.640-08:002013-02-13T05:42:18.640-08:00Thank you soooo much, darling gal! You're all ...Thank you soooo much, darling gal! You're all together too sweet and kind. I've bought most (not all, but a sizable percentage) of my vintage hats over the years from etsy and eBay, and have had only positive hat buying experience on both sites. I know just what you mean, the pragmatic side of me tends to be drawn to practical hats that I know will go with a lot of different outfits, but sometimes you just see one that you fall in love with so very much you simply must snap it up, no matter the colour. Well, snap it up so long as your wallet agrees ;) <br /><br />I wish you tons of luck with your vintage hat hunt and hope you'll post about some if your new hat finds down the road (I'd love to see them!).<br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-56035261966757253062013-02-13T04:11:20.500-08:002013-02-13T04:11:20.500-08:00How unbelievably cute this hat is! <3

I can...Oh my word, that outfit is just heavenly! I can't say that there is one thing that is even slightly off - I just want it all LOL! I have a love of tilt hats myself, but like I mentioned in my last outfit post I really need to up my hat collection. I just acquired a gorgeous black velvet wide brim tilt with hair combs inside the brim for hold, I can't wait to wear it! It's not exactly like it's appropriate for school (I'm sure most sitting behind me are annoyed enough with my stature, I couldn't imagine adding the hat to the mix hahah), and alas, for I have no social life LOL. But I will find some time to wear it! I am looking at buying more hats on eBay and Etsy but it is hard for me to look beyond the "basics" or what the major colours are in my wardrobe - black, red, white, brown, et cetera - to find more of an array or variety of hats to hunt and gather. It would probably be easier if I just had more money to buy whatever hats I wanted! LOL. <br /><br />-Holly<br /><br /><a href="http://www.veronicavintage.com/" rel="nofollow">Veronica Vintage</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-24021475127235782672013-02-12T17:06:15.453-08:002013-02-12T17:06:15.453-08:00I truly need to find a grey wall of such beauty!
