My weekend in Payson

I went to Payson last Wednesday to visit my BFF Gail and to shop sales and thrift stores.  In particular, an estate sale that had vintage clothing and other items.  Here's a few of my special finds this weekend.

I found a lot of vintage hats.  These are summery and will go into my booth shortly!  Love the roses!

I also found vintage hosiery in the box.  The pair on the left are supposed to be seamless stretch and will help block runs.  The box on the right contains seamed hosiery.  There are three stockings in this box so if you know any three legged person who would like seamed hosiery, let me know!!  Just kidding!  The third one could be an extra in case of a run in one of the others.

This pair of hosiery is much fancier!  Note the black heel with the rhinestones!  They have seams as well.  Really fancy!

For winter (these will NOT be in my booth until the weather cools off!!) I found a great mink stole, a pink rabbit fur collar and a child's fur muff.  Too cute for winter!!

Some old photos found this weekend

I was shopping this weekend for things for my booth at Merchant Square. I went to an estate sale in Mesa and found these pictures. This picture was probably taken in the late 1800's. She has on the cutest plaid dress. And I love her high button shoes! Not to mention the lace from her petticoat showing at the hem of her dress. Too cute! I did edit this picture because there were red streaks on it. You can see a bit of it at the top of the photo. I cropped as close as I could to get rid of the red streaks.

These sisters had their picture taken one afternoon. This is a postcard and on the back is a note telling about the day and having their picture taken by Walter. They were down in the strawberry patch on a Sunday morning. The dog's name is Dingo and the girl on the left has three kittens in her lap. They also noted on the card for the reader to notice how they are dressed up.

This lady had her picture taken in her finery! I just love that hat and the fur coat she is wearing. Lots of pretty pins on the coat and her blouse. I am just sorry that I could not get the scratch on her face removed. I tried, but didn't have any success. Since I got my new computer I don't have Photoshop loaded on it. Can't find my disk to load it on the machine! It will turn up eventually!! Somewhere!!
