May I warm you up?

We got darkness (setting our clocks back) and cold at the same time here in Spokane, and I need some cheer. This is my latest Etsy Treasury, all vintage items from my friends from the VFG Member Team.

Iridescence


According to Wikipedia, Iridescence (also known as goniochromism) is generally known as the property of certain surfaces which appear to change colour as the angle of view changes. Iridescence may be seen commonly in soap bubbles, butterfly wings and sea shells.

Musn't forget party dresses! I just listed this red/black iridescent taffeta dress on eBay (here) and marveled at how happy this fabric always makes me. Every time I see it I have to move the fabric to watch the color change.

I decided to start trying to collect some images of iridescent clothing I've sold and am selling. I'm working on a new Flickr set:


If you need further inspiration, how about these iridescent lovelies from Etsy vintage sellers:

The weather's changeable, so why not your dress?

Hello Good Buy!

I'm only a beer teetotaler, not a champagne teetotaler, wrote George Bernard Shaw, and I'm inclined to agree, especially if the champagne is pink...and it can be worn!

I scoured Etsy's vintage categories this morning, and here are the $20-and-under finds that give me a kick, not unlike champagne!

Hello Good Buy!

Does this make me look laid off? Who couldn't use a good deal these days? I did a little hunting around Etsy's vintage this morning, and found items $20 and under that I think are both really cute, and really good deals:
