What's on Sale- Spring on the Patio

(pic from fashionpreserve.blogspot.com)

It's getting warm and I can't wait to start wearing my cotton dresses again. One of my favorite 40-50s looks is the patio or squaw dress with espadrilles. Want to see a nifty vintage video about this popular "western wear?" Click on the image below to go to the video on the internet archive website.

I was surprised not to find any cute ankle wrap espadrille wedges on etsy, but I did find a shop on ebay called zapatopiashoes that has various strapped styles, like the ones on the right, that would look adorable with any of these dresses.

Payless also has some cute wedges right now too.

What's On Sale- Vintage Inspired Short Wedding Dresses

Check out these fun wedding dresses from Dolly Couture! These dresses are in the $400-600 range which, for those of you who have researched brand new wedding dresses know, is pretty affordable.

I pieced my dress together using thrift store dresses, but to be honest- if I knew about these dresses, I may have gone a different route...

Free Text-fillable Vintage Labels

 

Saw these mentioned on Pink Cupcake Vintage- there are SO many uses for these adorable vintage labels, from the worldlabel.com blog. The best part is that they have been modified for you to be able to add your own text easily, either as one whole sheet with the same text or each label with its own text. Sounds like a super easy DIY wedding item for sure! I'm actually thinking about printing them out without text and using them for handwritten Thank You notes when someone buys something from my shop. Really, the possibilities are endless... any other suggestions?

BTW, I apologize for not posting new Blog Special items this week. My comps for library school (25 pages in 2 weeks) is more intense than I originally hoped. Once they are done on March 8th, I will be back on track and will post specials that will certainly make up for it- promise!
