McCardell's original is very modernist, and was once modeled by a Long Island socialite who had to start cleaning her house during WWII because her "help" decamped for the defense plants. (McCardell's version is in the Met Museum's online collection, and it comes with an angular pot holder.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-30442395704479859532014-06-22T08:53:31.539-04:002014-06-22T08:53:31.539-04:00Very Lauren!Very Lauren!scorpioninbluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12004830986247178040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-75029526332379560292014-06-22T08:47:40.300-04:002014-06-22T08:47:40.300-04:00Definitely!Definitely!scorpioninbluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12004830986247178040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-37429810347534097232014-06-22T08:33:59.748-04:002014-06-22T08:33:59.748-04:00The dress pattern looks like something Lauren Baca...The dress pattern looks like something Lauren Bacall would have worn.Leigh Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17459054294111375380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-78597139731633694262014-06-22T08:31:23.308-04:002014-06-22T08:31:23.308-04:00Really?

Otherwise I get overwhelmed and don't know where to look. For years, I thought I didn't like going to flea markets or estate sales for that reason. Then the vintage bug bit me! But I guess I'm odd one out on the display thing. It probably is the thrill of the hunt that they like. Or maybe they think prices will be better if it's all mixed together.Leigh Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17459054294111375380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-73260659764169471542014-06-22T07:45:32.415-04:002014-06-22T07:45:32.415-04:00Pattern 5728 looks like a great one for Cathy.

It's great to see customers having that 'aha!' moment after a good rummage. There really is no such thing as refuse; chipped plates are bought to go under houseplants, teapots with no lids end up with bulbs planted in them, soft toys (with no eyes) are a dog's delight. Hoarders are our biggest market, and biggest donors when they get around to clearing out their closets. <br /><br />It's a fascinating job, pity I'm not paid for it!SaraGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-11316176726197665642014-06-21T23:58:10.568-04:002014-06-21T23:58:10.568-04:00I would have purchased every one of those kimonos....I would have purchased every one of those kimonos.Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15242005980195348193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-20111154647357092162014-06-21T22:42:50.017-04:002014-06-21T22:42:50.017-04:00Don't know whether I am fortunate or unfortuna...Don't know whether I am fortunate or unfortunate that I don't live near the Chelsea Flea Market, but I would love to dig through that stuff.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17032903680375150744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-74480158781301329322014-06-21T22:10:46.356-04:002014-06-21T22:10:46.356-04:00Love your 40s patterns, especially 2640.
