Getting ready for fall activities and need something to keep the chill away.........this OOAK shawl is crocheted in blue and green with luscious white fringe.


Special Dinner party or Cocktails by the Lake? Nelly Don does it well with this acetate faille dress in an Atomic Swirl print of black on brown.



And it's never too late to pick up a spectacular Bombshell Bathing Suit. This one is from Dotty Mann and has a wonderful fold over flap on the bust that is sprinkled with rhinestones, studs and tiny little pink flowers.

Every Vintage Fashionista needs a Resource Library

And there's no better source than the Tom Tierney Paper Dolls. Not only are his illustrations fabulous, but his story lines tie everything together. Research, entertainment and glamour all rolled into one.



His American Family of the 1920's takes 3 generations through their daily lives up to a glorious 1920s Wedding. Mr Tierney reinforces the fact that not every woman in the 20's was a Flapper.


Documenting the Glory of the Old South, American Family of the Confederacy brings to life the decadence and glamor of another 3 generational family on a Southern plantation pre Civil War.

Perhaps my favorite of all the historical families.........The American Family of the Colonial Era........sees 3 generations through the beginning and post American Revolution. Authentic under garments as well as post war Pioneer wear is fabulously presented.

Look for these and many other great goodies at cemetarian on eBay.

SISTERS! Twin Sisters. Dressing Alike for 88 Years

Born in 1915 these Identical twins loved playing jokes on the people around them.

They confused teachers in grade school and in High School they usually liked the same boy. One would flirt with a young man, leave and the other would come in putting on her act. The poor guys didn't stand a chance. The always shopped together and dressed identically. Calling to tell each other what they were wearing that day even if they weren't going to be together. One sister married twice and was in a long term relationship when she died. The other never married. In the thousands of pictures we found, there is only one of them NOT dressed alike and there are several of the Man of the Moment sandwiched between the sisters.

But like the song says "Lord help the Mister, who comes between me and my Sister, and Lord help the Sister who comes between me and my man"

A select lot of 100+ Twin Photos can be found this week at cemetarian on eBay
