“New” Vintage Listings in MissEileen’s Shop

 

Vintage Stockings Nylons by Lorette Original Package Never Opened           Vintage Nylon Stockings….Lorette Exclusive with Kline’s

These stockings were made from Cantrece by DuPont, 400 needle, 15 denier. Cantrece was a new type of Nylon that was developed by Dupont to give perfect fit. It has stretch  but is sheer as regular nylon stockings with no looseness and were made to fit every contour of the ankle, calf & knee, all important to the fashionable woman of the 60’s.

 

Vintage Mid Century Black Rotary Dial Telephone    Vintage Mid Century Black Rotary Dial Telephone 

A little scuffed from use but still in incredible vintage condition. From the days when you had to call the phone company (there was only one) to hook up (install) your phone because jacks weren’t invented yet. Don’t even think or wireless or hand held. Those were imaginary things only seen in the movies or cartoons. Still works. These phones were built solid and heavy, meant to last a long time.

Vintage Chenille Bedspread Yellow with Blue Basket Pink Roses Full Size     Vintage Chenille Bedspread Yellow with Blue Basket and Pink Roses

This bedspread is gorgeous and in very good vintage condition. Absolutely beautiful. Tufting is all intact. It has been stored away for a long time. Full size, from the days when people were a little smaller in stature and money was tight. But then smaller beds meant snuggling a little closer. Hmmm….

Vintage Hand Held Mirror Blue Three Ladies Avon    Vintage Hand Held Mirror by Avon

This cutie was made in the Wedgewood Jasper style with 3 Grecian Ladies. I used to think hand mirrors were oh-so-feminine. Bring to mind pictures of Victorian ladies admiring their long tresses.

All of these wonderful finds are in my MissEileen’s Etsy shop.

Thanks for stopping by!

Vintage Crochet Booklets--Star Books

Well, I finally took some time away from my school work to inventory some of my Vogue patterns. I just love them. The styles of the outfits are incredible to say the least. I just wish I had enough time to sew some of them. I came into some wonderful old pattern booklets from the 1940's and 1950's. They are for crocheting and tatting. I already listed one of the booklets on Etsy; it's called Pot Holders: Hot Plate Covers, Swedish Embroidery. It has directions for numerous pot holders, a BBQ mitt for Dad, and directions for Swedish embroidery. What fun! The other booklets I will be listing in the Goofing Off shop are "Handkerchief Edgings" from 1948, "Handkerchief Edgings" from 1953, "Spreads that are Different in Motifs easy to make" from 1949, "Pillow Cases, Decorative Crochet" from 1950, "Ruffled Doilies and the Pansy Doily" form 1948, and "Crocheted Chairbacks, Church Laces, Shade Pulls" from 1954. With the exception of Pillow Cases, these booklets were published by the American Thread Company of New York and are called Star books. Each one is numbered as in a series. Take a look. They are very unique with lots of wonderful patterns that can still be fresh today.
