Vintage Clothing   *   Cosmetics   *   New Finds

Vintage t-shirts, sweaters, jackets, purses, hats and dresses will be featured, as well as fur stoles and coats. Since vintage        T-Shirts have become the new collectable, this section will be fun to browse so check back frequently.  Please note that I did not iron the T-Shirts so they will look as realistic as possible for you.  I photograph the T-Shirts on a flat service so you can see the entire shirt, when on a hanger you loose some of the detail.   Also, if I find any new items that I think will peak your interest, such as cosmetics and cosmetic accessories, I will include them for your pleasure.
