Hello lovers of 1940s attire! I just added these 4 amazing pairs of shoes to the shop. Hopefully they will all go to a new home where someone will love them as much as I did 🙂
    
My Etsy store – Violet’s Vintage Emporium
Hello to our lovely followers. Just wanted to let you all know that I have finally opened my own Etsy store: Violet’s Vintage Emporium, so I will post items that are coming to shop here as well as the Facebook page before I put them in the shop so you have a heads up. I will have clothing, shoes, hats, sewing patterns and jewellery from the 1920s to the 70s for sale.
I was inspired to open the shop because of my love of vintage style since childhood, which has never waned.So now I have a large collection of vintage clothing and accessories and I am always looking for more, as I have been selling on ebay for years too. But Etsy is easier and more efficient!
I hope these little pieces of history give their new owners as much joy as they have given me – in both hunting for them and passing them on to you 🙂 Please pass on the FB page and Etsy pages to anyone you know who loves vintage style 🙂 Some samples from todays listings.

Vintage colour swatch: Bold Black and white
So, I thought I would do something fun and write a regular post every 2 weeks that focuses on a particular colour. I will also include pics showing all sorts of vintage fashion items that were produced in varying shades of that colour, hopefully to inspire some new outfit combinations in the future and some possible purchases.
Black and white: Yes, I’m generally a fan of darker colours like black and navy, so I’ve always been a fan of 1930s Coco Chanel. Even her home was decorated in black white tones, which at the time, was quite daring. Schiaparelli also used black and white very well in some of her clothing lines. Anyhoo, I love the contrast of black and white garments and the streamlining they give the body. Here are some lovely examples that I have found.
  
  
  
    
    
    
    
   
  
    
    
   
   
   
  
   
Michelle’s Etsy pics of the week – vintage sunglasses
I love 1930s sunglasses and I have 3 pairs of the acetate round type with various coloured tinted lenses and celluloid frames. They are stylish, classic and great for everyday wear and really do make a vintage ensemble complete. My nana had a white pair (like the ones below) with green lenses that I adored when I was little and I wish I had been able to get hold of and keep them as an adult, but they disappeared when I was a teenager. Anyhoo…I’m always looking for more, so here are range of 30s, 50s and 50s shades that I found on Etsy for sale.

New multi-sized 1930s pattern from EvaDress
This new addition to the EvaDress catalogue is a gorgeous 1930s gown and it is available in multi-size. Lovely simple lines and I adore the sleeves. I’ll have to add it to my sewing list!
