Maybe Amber Rose might like this one... (LOL)

This one is so fly, remember wearing crests on the pocket of your clothes in the 80's? If this was my size I'd wear this with a big chunky belt and slouch boots.

This one is the show-stopper!! It belonged to a boutique owner back in the 1970's... The orginal sale tag is still attached!! It reads, " 6-20-70" $17....How cool is that???? Too bad its only a Size 4 which means I can't SQUEEZE into it!!

Recycled Wire and Phone Card "Dancing Girl" Earrings

Kisumu, Kenya has long been known for atisans who make products from "easily obtained materials", a nice way of saying "trash".

These darling little dancing girl earrings are made from recycled copper car engine wire, discarded scratch off phone cards and tiny glass beads.

They measure 2.5 inches long from the top of the ear wire and are packaged with the informative card as pictured.

Retro Vintage 40's, 50's and 60's Plus Size Dresses!!

Its something so classic about a vintage dress. Its flirty, fun and feminie usually made with premium quality unlike the fashions of today. I love thrifting and hopping from one garage sale to another. I love the rush of finding treasure among "rubbish"...I also can appreciate the history associated with vintage. It tells a story, a symbol of that particular era. Ebay is a one stop shop to all things vintage and retro. These are a few faves, they are all offered in plus sizes. Some of these are actually vintage and some are vintage-inspired.

You can find these sellers (the-collezioni ,hellodollee, bearflag135 ) and many others on eBay...

Vintage Gucci..what more can I say?

I won both of these beauties on Ebay. I'm not sure what decade they are from but I finally found a place that will put new lenses in these Gucci vintage frames for me. The frames above I am getting a slight rose tint...They will be prescription shades...

I'm not sure if these will be shades or prescription glasses...
It was a bid war but I'm glad I won!!
