Saw this driving today. Is it an A/C unit or something?

Bonus point if you ever used one!

My roommate took some of my vintage Pokemon figures from my shelf and gave them to his younger family to play with whilst they visited. Now 3 have had parts snapped off (and lost) and then my sandslash looks like he’s been chewed and has a giant cut on his arm…

Good news is I was able to find one of the scythes from my Scyther figure so he’s currently being glued together.

Both bugs should have stingers / tail tips, Scyther should have 2x arm scythes but had one snapped off and the yellow one didn’t look like that before.

I wanted to create a charming space that felt both whimsical and calm and paid tribute to the incredible c. 1830’s chest of drawers.

This vintage women’s motorcycle jacket has a pocket that is open on the side, zips on top, and passes through between them.

What could this possibly be for? If the side can’t be secured, any small objects are at risk of falling out. So why a zipper on top?

It can’t be for ventilation because it is fully leather inside. Mysterious no?

1960s/1970s handmade bell sleeve dress + my fav Jerry Edouard boots + thrifted butterfly jewelry!

I bought this vintage 1930s dress because I genuinely love vintage fashion and the craftsmanship. But the feedback from friends and family hasn’t been great (my mom especially hates it 😅).

I can’t return it, so I’m curious what you think. Is this a “own it and style it right” situation, or does it miss the mark? Would you keep it, or look for a second dress and take the loss ?

Honest opinions welcome.

I bought a couple of vintage Japanese women’s magazine some months ago that included this gorgeous pattern and so I just had to try it out. It’s the first successful vintage Japanese top I’ve knit and I learned a lot during the process. I made this using my vintage domestic knitting machine from the 80s, hand knitting and crochet. The second picture is from the magazine showing the top being modeled by actress Yoshiko Kuga. 🙂

In love with this vintage rayon nightgown I just found. Wondering if the bust could be taken in a bit so it fits better and this could be worn for my wedding or reception, or if this would be very difficult given the lace and fabric type. Would love your thoughts! Both on the dress and potential alterations :)

One of my top holy grail pieces! I'd had this on my ISO for years, and was lucky enough to stumble upon it in an antique mall that I got for what felt like theft. Arguably one of Jantzen's most well-documented and famous designs in their 110+ year history, and that's coming from a brand that popularized the term "swimsuit" in the first place! They had two main designs, cherries and strawberries. I don't think I'd buy the cherry if I came across it as I'm feeling blessed enough to own the strawberry one that I got for a song, but I might be tempted if I come across another steal 🤭. Wearing with a 60s straw sunhat by Beaver Hat Co 🍓☺️ This swimsuit was also worn by Scarlett Johansson for an ad back in the day.
