A VintageTreasure

I scored this absolutely lovely find at a local yard sale. It was love at first sigh! This is my new bedside, vintage floor lamp with a beaded lamp shade. 

Edited to add, this lamp only cost me $3.00...I know...steal!  I was prepared to pay closer to $10 but they woman offered it to me for a whopping $3..I think the heavens were smiling upon me! :)

What happens when you're too giddy to set up the tripod? You get a bit of a blurry 

photo but using flash was outta the question, wouldn't do it justice!

I tried to fix the coloring here to show the true colors..this is about right.

Perhaps it belonged to a flapper back in the day?  I'll cross my fingers on that one ha! Have you scored an amazing vintage or retro find lately?

Retro Flea Market Finds: Peachy Vintage Delicates

I found these lovely little beauties at the Long Beach Flea Market some time ago and never got a moment to edit the photos I took of them.  My beloved found the slip, it's quickly become a favorite of mine but I can't model it on just yet..it's a bit risque! It's also a bit scratchy so I may have a simple peach colored satin lining sewn in to make it a bit more comfy.  One thing's for sure, it's very delicate and  royal looking!

I also found a pastel peach beaded hand purse. It's also very delicate looking and definitely for the spring time but I think I can fit into summer as well! The bead work is very nice, it's missing 1 bead but I'm pretty adamant that I can fix it.

What have you found recently at the flea market? Post a link to a photo if you'd like me to share it in an upcoming new series of posts, "Retro Flea Market Finds". :)
