Hi all. It’s been a little while since I blogged, but rest assured I am BACK! Here are few things that I added to my Etsy shop last week for the 20s and 30s lovers. The first dress is stunning! The geometric shapes and fagoting are superb. The second dress is also lovely, and in a rare larger size.
Patty Andrews, the last surviving member of swing-era vocal group the Andrews Sisters (and the center sister in the photo below), died today of natural causes. She was 94. A beautiful lady with a golden voice.
‘Bounce Me Brother With a Solid Four’ will always be my fav of their songs. Thought I’d post the clip here. Not the mention that we get to see Jewel McGowan and Dean Collins dance. 🙂

Hi all, I recently had a 10% off sale for Australia Day in my Etsy store, but I have decided to extend it until the end of January. The code is KOALA for those interested.
Here is the link to the shop: Violet’s Vintage Emporium
Just a reminder for all my readers that are fans of Art Deco design and the fashion 1920s and 30s, I have several boards full of my favourite visual collections over at Pinterest that I add to on a daily basis. You are welcome to follow me there also. Enjoy 🙂

For all the ladies who adore 1940s style, look at this amazing early 40s set that I found recently! A rare find indeed and it is in mint condition. This set has a bolero tie top and a pair of wide, high-waisted pants with gorgeous embroidery. Very similar to the 1940s sewing shown pattern below.
If you are interested, this item is for sale in my Esty store. Just click on any of the pics and it will link you there
