Surprises oh the Surprises!

I'm Back!

After a lot of illness, technical difficulties, and work, I am glad to say I am back. Well in this interim of yuckiness I have got to learn more about knitting and more about the compassion of my significant other. However, he would blush from here till Tuesday if I gave out details so this doll shall not kiss and tell. His clothes are another story. 

Apparently before he met me he was also into vintage, and still is as far as music, movies etc, that's what was so charming about him in the first place but dressing vintage I had no idea!

 While visiting his family this Thanksgiving week, he was digging out some of his old clothes and he showed me these two vintage pieces, the only remains of his collection. This was all after getting a 50's comb over cut, which I was really happy about but didn't give it a second thought as it's in style, then he tells me he wants to go to the Cicada. The Cicada really requires it's own post, but it's THE vintage night club in Los Angeles. Needless to say this doll is smiling from ear to ear at all these new developments.

 Anyway I deeply digress the shirt to the right is a Mr. California button up, and the one to the left is an unknown long sleeve button up. He said neither cost more than $20 seven years ago at a vintage store. My have the times changed.  

  They are both in traditional 1950's button down "sporty" style.  The short sleeve is burgandy with white trim, pearl buttons and two large breast pockets. While the long sleeve differs a little with no pockets and is more of a "Jacket Shirt" bottom. 

On top of this lovely realization that I may have the pleasure of vintage hunting for someone else too, I was gifted a laptop. You heard me right, gifted, by that amazing gal I took a photo with from my Halloween post . I was so grateful, it brought tears to my eyes. Hopefully now I will be able to post more frequently and better quality stuff in the future.

This dame has a lot to be grateful for that's for sure. Till next time lovelies!
