Vintage Find of the Day

Talk about Fa-bu-lous, this Rare 1920's BUTTERFLY DESIGN Glass BEADED Fringe found at StylishRibbons on Etsy, wowed us all. 

fringe

This seller acquired this magnificent 1920's Lamp Fringe at a Fine Estate Auction a few years ago. She went crazy bidding on it; had to have it, and it has now sat in a box for almost 10 years. She decided it was time to pass it on to someone who will use it.  She thinks this was designed to be a lamp fringe, but bought it with the idea in mind of making a purse with it as fringe. There is enough of it to use on a cape or dress. How about a flapper girdle around the waist?   There is 59" of this magnificent fringe; the longest strand is 6". The colors are vibrant orange, royal blue, rose pink, copper, emerald green and there are large gold beads at the bottom. Beads are attached to a heavy cotton trim. Of course, a large heavy beaded piece like this that is 80 years old will have some bead loss

We really went crazy over this Retro Fabulous Ice Cream Set discovered at ReclaimTheThrone.

Vintage Find of the Day
Talk about Fa-bu-lous, this Rare 1950s Pink Royal Typewriter found at PoeticHome on Etsy, definitely caught our eye.
poetichome
Every button, shift, knob, and cranny works beautifully in this antique typewriter. It has the "magic margin" for which Royal is famous, as well as an ability to switch between red/black/corrective white ink (if you have a tri-color ribbon). In addition, by pressing the button on the front of the typewriter, the top magically opens to reveal the "touch control," which allows you to adjust how hard you wish to type on the keys.
As an antique piece, the typewriter is in great condition. On the back of the typewriter, as well as one spot on each the left and right side, there is paint loss (about the size of half a dime), which come from where the latches in the case hold the typewriter.
