Yes another vintage wedding dress how lucky was I?Was only $12 as well and is similar style to my other one I got HERE both 50s era.So glad not many others see the beauty of them like I do and think they are only good for dressups.Just wish they would fit me.
This is the back
Had a rotten morning and had to do groceries a day early as Lovely Laura is looking after the 4 grandies and her brother while The Captain and I go to Brisbane with Miss4.5 tomorrow for the 2nd eye operation attempt fingers crossed.For my new friends who didnt read that post and want to know what the story was go Here , Here and Here.
So what do you do when you are having a rotten day? You hit the oppies of course in the hope something will put a smile on your face like my dress finally did (was last buy too) and I got these buys as well ....
I cant resist kids dressups and this Indian outfit was too cute top leave for $4 including the pants.We now have 2 Indian outfits in the collection.

What great finds Nelly ~ yes, that wedding dress is just beautiful! I love that sweet little jug! And how kind of LL to buy that wonderful dresser ~ I think antique white would look great, as it would then be a great back-drop for whatever colourful things you'd like to display. Love Brenda
Love that wedding dress....will you wear it? or do you just collect them? its gorgeous anyway....and love that little owl, very seventies, reminds me of my mums kitchen when I was growing up, the colours I think. Hope you Have a better day xx

Glad you like the eyelashes, Nelly!
How kind of LL to buy you that dresser, it would look lovely painted in a matt "Aged White" paint with crystal handles.
I've seen those classic car shot glasses here, they must have been tremendously popular back in the day.
That dress is so pretty and I love the psychedelic owl tea pot stand. xxx
Darl,I adore that wedding frock,how heavenly!
The shot glasses are right up my alley,and I'm partial to those kitschy alt & pepper shakers!
I reckon your eldest's GF would love you indeed!

Firstly, I don't do wedding stuff so I'm gonna leave that one alone!
I'd give that dresser a nice rough sand, taking a few edges off, then alternate layers of cream and white paint, then sand again, gives a nice aged finish and you can use up whatever crappy bits of paint you have lying around. I agree with Vix on the handles.
Sorry I didn't comment on your last post, I've been having with my feed reader, thought you may have been ill again.
Let me know if you have time to meet up tomorrow, I got a new van today and I'll be on the northside in the arvo anyway.xxx.
Oh and for my 2 cents worth, good score on the s&p set, always buy kitschy ones like that, they are very collectable.
Oh I LOVE that owl teapot stand! And I have a little salt and pepper shaker collection - the weirder or tackier the better for me!

Oh my you are a tease Nelly!!! I'm so sorry you had a rough day - but isn't it wonderful how we all understand how a good old oppy trawl can smooth things over when we've been touched with the shit-stick?!! I am amazed at the wedding dress - lots of weddings in Bundy eh?;))). I love the Ballerina and wedding book - if I had those books as a kid I would have just lived in my room! Sooooo glad you didn't leave the shakers and shot glasses behind and **sigh** the jug!!!! Isn't beautiful!!!? I'll be looking out for your email and thinking of you tomorrow - I really, really hope it happens this time. Ring ABC News if it doesn't. With your carer responsibilities there is no way the hospital can treat you the same way they did before. Especially with the distance!!!!!! Warm hugs xoxoxoxoxo
there is no way I would've been able to resist that orange owl either and I don't even collect owls! And I adore that wedding dress... there is no way you'd get one like that for 12 bucks here! x
I don't think you have nearly enough wedding dresses! Go get more! Yay! The owls are my fave in this set. :D
I'm so glad you are getting another chance at having the surgery for Miss 4.5! I'm praying and sending out best of thoughts to You, your ever graceful Hubby, and the young Miss 4.5.
well done on the wedding dress - fabulous find and a bargain!! Love the s&p set and the ballerina book. My mum has that dolls house book, she a dolls house nut :o) Scarlett x
Nelly that wedding dress is a stunner! Don't be scaring off the new girlfriend though - "Hey, look at all these wedding dresses - you can choose"!
Really hope surgery goes well, let us know

Hi Nelly, love the little owl collection, they are one of my favourites. Lovely dress too, what ever will you do with them? Tam x
oh Nelly big Hugs and Fingers Crosses for the little one tomorrow♥
Love the dresser, yes, some sort of antique white/creams and crystal would be WONDERFUL!
well I think you know what to do with the dresser by now!! Would the sweet GF have a look at your blog do you reckon?..quite a good way to get to know someone especially if you have common interests. Love your buttons..they'd look nice + some in a pretty jar on the dresser ; ) Thinking of you for tomorrow. Much love Catherine
Hi my dear-what lovely amazing finds, the owl pieces and the wedding dress is really lovely! Thanks so much for stopping by too! x
what fun stuff
how fun it would be to come over and just admire all your goodies!
I got a 1915 kids reader book for $1.35 the other day at a second hand store and felt like I won the lottery.
aawww love the wedding dress what a beauty yet again ;-) 50's style is just lovely and you can't go wrong i say ;-)) Great finds to. Enjoy the rest of your week, dee x
I adore the wedding dress Nelly! Your other finds are wonderful too. I'm still under the weather but wanted to send positive thoughts for today. Thinking of you all. Hugs xx
OoOOo oOoO oOoO Lovely finds Nelly.
The dress is really pretty & aren't owls so darned sweet?! I like them too
Woohoo, golden hands!!! Thank you so much! I'll see if I can email you my address, haven't checked to see if your email is listed yet though. I love vintage wedding dresses and hope to one day wear one, but who knows when that will happen! Your owl collection is gorgeous :)
Great finds! Claire xoxox
oh my gosh you've been busy! you must have the best op shops up there. that dress is a real steal, they charge $60 for similar down here. not fair! because just as i decided I wanted to collect them I found they were collectable. Also wanted to say that I just saw your gypsy caravan and it looks exactly like the one I want to own!!! oh my gosh!!
