Silk Shantung Handbag from the 50s

Yes, it's for sale. $50.

Vintage maracas from Cuba

Found in the Wild. There's a ban on selling these in the US so they are in my collection :)

The Heiress

A confection I made from an upcycled bridesmaids dress, buckram, balance, and position. I also made the freshwater pearl necklace.

Pist (exiting the bathroom): You've a full on arsenal of girl products in there.
Me: So how many did you use?
Pist: Uh...two...how's my hair look?
Me: Killer, baby.
Pist: Is that a Max Neiger brooch?
Me: Def Czechoslovakian but I doubt it's a Neiger. The smaller stones aren't rope bezel set.
Pist: But you like it?
Me: I love it. It makes my eyes roll up in my head with that intense blue and its delicate filigree.

My Neighborhood

Native to TGS, I attended Holy Family School and its damned church.
Jesus, how I hated Catholism.
We still stroll the alleys.
Most of the garages went up in the 50s when returning Vets had Union jobs amd were dads with skills and loved to build.
