Things I'd Buy If Money Grew on Trees

Haven't done one of these posts recently, so here goes:

Skull Soap on a Rope-Put that theatre training to work...in the shower! http://www.goodgoth.com/Scents/Alas-poor-Yorick-Skull-soap-on-a-Rope-p1287.html

The 1960's Coat of my Dreams! https://www.etsy.com/listing/123347672/vintage-atomic-circles-space-age-coat?ref=shop_home_active_9
A Beautiful 1950's dress https://www.etsy.com/listing/200567538/showstopping-perfect-original?ref=related-0
Something a little more 1895, perhaps? https://www.etsy.com/listing/90051310/1895-7-green-wool-dress?ref=shop_home_active_11
 A Blouse I'm Seriously Considering (I don't understand why it hasn't sold-the price is great, and just LOOK at it!) http://pastperfectvintage.com/1910slaceblouse.htm
I Tried Dropping Hints That I'd Like This Coat (I don't think I'm getting it) http://www.1860-1960.com/xa7126p0.html
The Only Thing Better Than a Great Blouse? A Great YSL Blouse  http://www.coutureallure.com/collections/vintage-designer-couture/products/vintage-70s-blouse-yves-st-laurent-cotton-stripe-small-bust-39
Now That You're Dressed, You'll Want to Smell Good https://www.etsy.com/listing/203792225/vintage-guerlain-lheure-bleue-perfume-1?ref=shop_home_active_4
Or Maybe You're More the Yendi Type (This is the fullest bottle of it I've seen in years) https://www.etsy.com/listing/168044349/vintage-yendi-eau-de-toilette-by-capucci?ref=shop_home_active_8
Or a Perfume For The Grove Press Fan in Your Life https://www.etsy.com/listing/176238872/chateau-de-paris-fantaisie-12-fl-oz?ref=shop_home_active_1
Alas, money doesn't grow on trees, so it is thrift shops and the odd Ebay score for now. These are all shops I haunt regularly, and when I find great places on the Internet, it only seems right to share.

And if anyone wants to buy me that velvet coat (or Grove Press books) I wouldn't protest.

  1. It's nice to do a little virtual window-shopping now and again, love the 60s coat and the 50s dress. And I can just see you in the velvet coat. Heavy hints to Mr ETB? There must be an anniversary/birthday/Christmas around the corner that needs marking with a delicious present, surely? Just a thought...! xxxx

  2. The 1950s frock is divine!! Money does grow on trees but apparently it is illegal?

  4. The 60s coat first referenced, must be a designer piece so lovely!

    If I could get away with a tent shape without looking like I was actually wearing *a tent* I would snap that thing up.
