Re: Please give suggestions for VINTAGE COLLECTION of women's items. Thank you!

In the '40s and '50s (and NO, I'm NOT speaking from experience...lol) a lady was not considered well dressed unless she had on her white cotton gloves. And in the summer she wore lightweight gloves of a lacey, nylon type material. That would be a fun item to hunt for.

Thanks, Piper! The older gloves can be sooo beautiful, and I saw in an antiques mall what I guess you would call a 'gloves bag' or something, kind of like a big felt envelope: it was made of felt, with cute felt appliques of gloves and pearls, etc., so cute and for just a few bucks, I think I'll have to try to get it next week!

I loved the old vanity sets with a hairbrush and mirror.

Ashleigh, thank you for the suggestions! I just looked up the 'Scotch Cooler', that looks so cute and sooo vintage! I'll have to keep an eye out for one! Thanks again!

Thanks, Aunt G! I got a cute green plastic set, but I'm hoping for a little more luxurious one someday, lol! My plastic set it a brush and comb, and I have a pink plastic hand mirror! I've seen some in silver and such, maybe someday! They sure add a touch of femininity.......

You could start a museum!

I kept my old Marshall Field's charge card & a bag. I was heartbroken when Macy's bought them out.

Mary, it's a sickness, I tell ya, lol! And yes, I WOULD have my own museum, lol!!! I guess I just love things that are so commonplace, yet so loved. [One of my favorite collectibles is old scrapbooks. Not the expensive Victorian ones (though I wouldn't turn down one as a gift, lol!), but the plain old homemade simple ones. Hubby and I just got a simple, few pages one from WWII, and it was so moving, I was in tears.] I will definitely be on the lookout for a charge card! Thank you for the suggestion!

Glove box, (long oval box covered in quilted satin), hose keeper, (silk like bag that held nylons so they would not snag), anything Bakelite (jewelry, buttons, utensils, brushes etc.)
