Ok, yes, I am late again, lol

I know I said I would list some vintage French trims a few days ago, but it is sooooo hot, I don't have any energy left at all, once the garden has been watered, the vegetables picked etc. We did get a bit of a breeze this evening though, and the temps in the house are only in the high 20Cs right now ( 10pm ), so I listed a few of the trims -

Totally adorable vintage French Bébé baby trims, they are so cute

I might have another go at listing some more trims tomorrow, if the weather is a little kinder. Toodlepip xxx

Fabulous 1920s French glass and chrome double inkwell  with secret monogram inside the lids- SOLD



Because I knew I couldn't post anything from France more than 3cm thick without paying huge postage costs for small packages, I rummaged through my stash of ribbons, buttons and other small things and brought them with me to France. I just didn't want to spend the summer not listing anything. I started with a few things -

Darling little 1950s child's knitted socks with original label -

Set of three beautifully embroidered vintage French hankies -

These gloves sold almost straight away -


Tomorrow I will start listing some gorgeous old French ribbons from my own collection :-).

Here are just a couple of other things which were sold before I had a chance to show them -


See ya tomorrow! Toodlepip xxx
