1937 McCall's magazines. They have the most amazing fashion plates I'm dying to share!
A little leather pouch that loops onto a belt. For when I go.....hiking...(?)
A pretty 1930s style pillow.
"Snubbers". You know how those 30s and 40s catalogues have peep toe shoes with absurdly perfect mannequin toes peeking out? These are little rubber inserts you put in the peep toe, to look ideal, and keep rain and dirt off your toes and stockings!
1937 knitting book, I want everything in it, including the hats and shoes...
A cute little pencil holder.
Blue ice trays to match my kitchen.
Carved wooden birdie pin.
A darling dress pattern that looks quite a bit like the sixth photo in this magazine.

Good finds!I always love finding old magazine
That birdy pin is so cute - and I LOVE that pattern I can't wait to see the McCall's plates too!
I look forward to seeing the pics in the magazine.
What lovely finds! I love the look of that knitting book and pattern particularly. I'm just delving into the world of vintage knitwear.
Oh goodie! Lovely McCall magazines. I'm doing a challenge over at my blog to try and find images of all McCall patterns from 1936 to 1940 to update the Vintage Pattern Wiki....I just started 1937! Can't wait to see the pattern drawings from these magazines!!
LOVE the knitting book!! And I want some snubbers!! They're a great idea!! I would wear peep toe shoes more often if I had some of those!!!
LOL! Those snubbers are insane! And where are they now? I bet a remake would have people interested :-)

Oh my goodness--those are great finds! The magazines look especially good; I have one copy of an older McCalls and the fashion illustrations are so beautiful. I love the "Snubbers" too--such a weird/neat idea!
Snubbers! I need some, then I would buy peep toe shoes.. I am not a big fan of the peep toe, toes look.. snubbers are what is needed!
Love the new post! I know you changed the header for your blog, but I thought the old one was much nicer. The new one does not show the true beauty of you or the vintage items you blog about.
Seriously terrific stuff! I need to start hunting for some snubbers, they seem awfully handy. Also, I LOVE the new look of your blog. I'll miss the old one for sure, but this one is really neat!

That bird pin is too darling! I love it! And that dress pattern looks incredible too. I always see vintage dress patterns but I'm hesitant to buy one, as I'm almost positive if I tried to make one that it would end in a disaster, haha. Last time I tried to sew a blouse I had to cut myself out of it when I tried it on...it was not good, haha.
Oh, and my sister Wendy was so thrilled that you posted her photo on your Facebook page! We were all really excited for her, and she was so glad you liked it. :)

Ooh, such great treasures!! I hope you make a dress from those patterns you found. I'd love to see a post on that!
aw, they're wonderful! I love every last bit of it!See, this is why I love to go to antique stores and thrift stores. Never know what you might fine. :)
Adorable finds. Just found your pretty both through my google alerts. I love that little wooden birdie!
I'll be back to read more!
Snubbers! I never knew - would love to see them modeled to get a better idea of them. I always find the details of vintage dressing the most interesting.
Ooh I can't wait to see the fashion plates from those McCall's magazines!

Snubbers?!? What a weird item but I can see why ladies would wear them. Looks like you scored some awesome goodies on your thrifting trip
i really love that pattern, the dresses look gorgeous.
Oh what an awesome haul! =D
Great finds! I know I'd love to see those McCall fashion plates!
And I really want a pair of Snubbers now, for when my toe's nail polish is all chipped and I want to wear peeptoes, hehe! It's a neat idea!
You really look lovely!
