Thread: Charlie Chaplin shirt

Look what I found in my vintage shop!


Isnt the fabric the best thing ever!
I'm finding it difficult to squeeze the twins into it though so I may have to get a minimising bra
Just thought I would post my purchase!

Has anyone else brought something brilliant recently?

Shouldn't that be brabaric?

Sorry, I have a fondness for awful puns.

I really am going to come and check out this shop soon. It sounds amazing. Do you tend to get anything 1950s/ 1960s in larger sizes (bust 40-42 ish) that isn't tent like, Mama Cass style?

That was one of the best puns I've heard in a long time!

And everything passes though that shop! The mens section isnt as good because men usually wear clothes/shoes until they drop off but the womens and jewellery sections are really good. Last year we had a suitcase donated full of genuine 50's dresses and a few months later an old woman brought about 15 60's mini dresses in various brilliant colours.
You honestly never know whats going to be in there!
In March they are expanding into the other half of the building they're occupying at the moment so they'll be able to have even more furniture and clothes!

I love awesome finds like that! my best one recently was in a vintage shop in Dewsbury (great charity shops there!) where I bought a gorgeous white chocolate coloured chiffon pillbox hat with peekaboo veil for £2.50! It was quite a find. Will post a pic if i can.

Theres brilliant stuff in my vintage shop almost all of the time, we've just put loaaaads of shoes out and normally we dont get a great deal of them.
The only thing that makes me sad is the amount of fur we come across and cant sell, some of it is absolubtly beaaaautiful..

Awesome! I'll definitely pop up at some point

What do you do with all the fur?
