fabulous finds and a late birthday gift

My favorite thing to do on my days off is to wander about this old town in search of new treasures, art, inspiration, or a new secret spot :)  Today, I was so fortunate to find some fabulous new items......

For those of you who have not met Judy....this is her...she is delightful.  She is a mannequin from 1940 and was gifted to me by a great friend of mine...she serves many purposes in my tiny apartment:

1. a dress form

2. keep Flower company

3. scare away ghosts  

Today, while thrifting about I found a vintage swim-cap which Judy is now responsible for modeling

My other find of the day is this terrific vintage suitcase! I am such a sucker for old suitcases! I have a million, but I can't stop buying them! This one is in amazing condition, lined with red satin! How could you say no?  I have filled it with my Grandmother's vintage scarves that she gave me last year when I was home for Christmas.

This great Chanel book was gifted to me last week as a late birthday present!  It is from the early 90's with all photos by Karl Lagerfeld himself! Amazing!
