About Us
**Proud Member of Vintage Fashion Guild**

WELCOME! It's a brand New Year, and time to celebrate the coming 12 months with joy and optimism. Make it your resolution to add more vintage to your wardrobe and home this year and shop with me! You will be helping to sustain the environment and making both of us very, very Happy!

Thank YOU for my six successful, joyous and memorable years here! My shop has been in the Top 50 shops for nearly five of its six years, continuously, and that couldn't be said without your continuing patronage and support. I am adding more items almost daily~jewelry to clothing, purses, shoes and accessories, paper ephemera, sewing patterns + MORE, so be sure to check in often and have fun shopping with me!

My philosophy is that vintage jewelry, clothing and accessories are meant to be WORN and admired, and I believe that vintage and antique pieces look absolutely smashing whether worn as a complete fashionable statement of an elegant bygone era or combined with modern clothing pieces and accessories. In alignment with that philosophy, the choices I display for sale are in the best condition available~Excellent to Mint~no damaged or 'study' pieces for sale here! You can always wear the wardrobe items you purchase from me with pride, confidence AND sassy style!

Welcome To My Shop! Don't Be Shy If You Want To Make An Offer~Every Item Is Considered On An Individual Basis. I love to chat about our stock and will always give you my Best Price when you send an Offer.

The shelves are stocked and I am ready for You, with over 2,300 individual items of vintage clothing, jewelry and accessory items. Dozens more gorgeous pieces are being photographed for inclusion in my shop stock.I have also added new selections and will continue to do so on a daily basis from my 'bottomless' warehouse!

I will also continue to add dozens of vintage sewing patterns and sewing and design books on a weekly basis to help you create the BEST fashions and gifts yet!

Whether you sew or have a trusted seamstress who creates your clothing, there are dazzling vintage designs here that will keep you both 'unique and trendy'. All patterns are ORIGINALl (NO reproductions) and are piece counted and checked for completeness prior to being added to the shop. At least 75%-80% of the vintage and antique patterns I offer are in UNCUT, factory folded Mint condition.

I am a proud member of VINTAGE FASHION GUILD, with over 25 successful years in buying and selling fine costume jewelry and vintage clothing. Why buy new reproductions and 'retro' designs when you can buy the fabulous, ORIGINAL vintage designs from me?

Here are recent comments from some of our wonderful customers:

"I LOVE the shoes and I LOVE the bracelet. They were beautifully wrapped and are in wonderful condition. Each fits perfectly! Thank you so much."

"The faux fur hat arrived safely today and it is PERFECT! I have a VERY small head and only vintage hats work for me; I could never wear a "Medium" from a store like Macy's--LOL! My husband thought it looked great too, and it just fits so securely on my head--ultra chic! Thanks again for being such a great Ruby Lane seller!"

"I just came home and found the lovely Monet set I had purchased from your shop. Thank you for the beauty of the set and the speedy delivery."

"I got home from vacation and the necklace was waiting for me. What a great and beautiful piece it is, too. Thank you so much for getting it to me. I hope to shop at your store again soon."

"The purse just arrived.....Thank You!! I love it. It has been a pleasure doing business with you."

"The dress and purse are gorgeous and arrived safe and sound. Thanks for packing them so nicely.."

"Just wanted to let you know I received the silver glitter handbag, IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL! AND IN PERFECT CONDITION!!! Shipping was so fast! I will shop here again and again! Thanks..."

"Just wanted to let you know that I received my handbag today. I love it. Even nicer than the description. Thank you!"

"Just a quick note to let you know that the earrings arrived today and they are wonderful! A perfect match to a vintage necklace that I have. Thanks so much!"

"Thank you for offering this gorgeous dress and for such excellent service..."

I also carry a special selection of Religious Jewelry, Rosaries, medals, statuary, and other collectible items for the Spiritual You. Being a Smart Chick myself, I know Glamour Girls are also as bright as they are beautiful, so I have excellent vintage and antique book and magazine offerings, updated 'periodically' (pun intended). For the lovely and frilly Little Girl in You, I offer vintage paper dolls, 1950s romance Comic Books, and vanity items. There are also old collectible artworks, postcards and advertisements to decorate your personal space.

For that Special Man in Your life, I carry Vintage Cufflinks, Vintage Ties, Belts and Buckles, Clothing, jewelry valets, and other gift items.

Come in and browse to your heart's content, and when you are ready to buy, I will be ready to serve you. It is all here, presented just for YOU...

VINTAGE CONDITION RATING CHART~CLOTHING, JEWELRY, ACCESSORIES & TEXTILES:
MINT~Rare, like new condition. Tagged or obviously Never Used, or found Mint on the Card or never removed from package.
NEAR MINT~Without Tags, but in fresh and nearly 'as new' condition. Obviously unworn or unused, with unblemished finish or pristine, unlaundered condition. Also known as 'Original' condition.
EXCELLENT~No flaws found and minimal or no wear that does not in any way distract or detract from the beauty or functionality of the piece. Almost as perfect as Near MInt, with only slight touches of use visible.
VERY GOOD~Normal age-appropriate wear noted that does not compromise the beauty of the piece (true 'vintage' condition). Piece has its original finishes and stones, all buttons, zippers, embellishments, etc. Small flaws, repairs and/or soil marks noted in description.
GOOD~Noted minor flaws, wearable as is with cleaning or easy repairs (button reattachment, seam stitch, etd). Normal age/use wear that does not compromise functionality. **Please Note: Our shop rarely sells anything that would be graded as 'Very Good' or 'Good', with 99% graded at Excellent-Mint condition. NO 'STUDY', 'DYI' OR 'MUSEUM' QUALITY PIECES (with hidden flaws such as shattered or missing linings, broken zippers, etc. making them appropriate only for display) ARE SOLD HERE.

Our shop uses the following standard GRADING SCALE FOR POSTCARDS adapted by most dealers and by the leading postcard hobby publications:
M - MINT ~ A nearly perfect card just as it comes from the printing press. No marks or creases, and no writing or postmark. A clean and fresh card, not a reproduction. Rare and hard to find in this condition, making it highly collectible.
NM - NEAR MINT ~ Very light aging or very slight discoloration from being in an album for many years. Not as sharp or crisp as the Mint graded card, but far above the norm for its age.
EXC - EXCELLENT ~ Like Near Mint in appearance with no bends or creases, or rounded corners. May be postally used or unused and may have writing and postmark only on the address side. A clean, fresh card on the picture side, with no fading or significant soil.
VG - VERY GOOD ~ Corners may be just a bit rounded. Almost undetectable creases or bends that do not detract from overall appearance of the picture side. May have writing or postal use on address side or slight edge rubbing wear. A very collectible card.
G - GOOD ~ Corners may be lightly blunt/rounded with noticeable bends or creases. May be postally used or have writing on address side. Soil marks on verso or slight discoloration from album mounting to the corners. Small nicks to the edges. No tears or holes. Rarity makes this card collectible.
FR - FAIR ~ Card is intact. May have signficant soil, stains, creases, writing, or cancellation may affect picture side. Tears and holes to edges may be present. Could be a scarce card that is difficult to find in any condition, making it the primary reason to purchase.

Our shop adheres to these accepted guidelines in grading all of our postcards.
You can always buy with confidence!
