Getrödelt, Gefunden, Gefreut ... Play With Me

 

i hope you had a lovely start into the new year ...
as it is the first day of a brand new year, it is the first day of a brand new month ... this means, it's time for getrödelt, gefunden, gefreut again ...
this time i want to show you the original pin up play cards we won on ebay.

the seller said these mint cards are out of the heritage of an famous german magician ... we got our hands on several sets of mini play cards and normal sized ones from the 50s ... most of them are still wrapped in plastic and come with the original instructions.

we also got a box with huge play cards from the early to mid 60s with photos of pin up ladies. they are still totally fun and cute ... but i didn't wanted them to be on the blog .... too many naked boobs.

ok, let's check out this month's purchases of the other bloggers taking part at getrödelt, gefunden, gefreut over at beswingtes allerlei.

Happy New Year!!!

Big Black

black seams to be the colour of this winter, ... even i ended up in a quite black look some days ago ... vintage cardi: charity shop // 50s dress: ebay // belt: from my mum // shoes: deichmann // early DDR 60s hat: flea market  ... bag: didn't got pictured ... it was black ...

... this is what i wore some days ago ... 90s does 40s sweater: ebay // vintage belt: thrifted // vintage skirt: thrifted // vintage boots: ebay // vintage tooled leather hand bag: flea market // hat: flea market // 50s gloves: flea market // brooch: flea market ...

B, B & W? blue, brown and white ... those are the colours i wear a lot lately ... probably because of my two pairs of brown lace boots i love to wear ... (one pair cozy and warm, the other less warm ... perfect for 'normal' cold winter days).

Take Me To The Movies // Gold Nach Singapore // 1935

on past sunday's indoor flea market i didn't found much but i found a bunch of movie programmes from the 30s ... including movies with famous actors marika rökk, heinz rühmann, zara leander, clark gable, marlene dietrich and jean harlow.

i'm so excited about the programme from the movie 'gold nach singapore' (original titel: china seas) with jean harlow and clark gable that i have to share it with you right away ...

i hope you enjoy jean's beautiful costumes as much as i do!

wow, did they finally put gfc down? my list of followers disappeared right when i put out this post ...

Taking Care Of Business

 

this is what i wore yesterday to a couple of business meetings ... blazer: old h&m // top: primark // 50s skirt: thrifted // leather belt: old h&m // shoes: deichmann // 60s bag: flea market // 50s hat: flea market // 50s rose pendant: flea market ...

... no, i haven't found a new job yet. ... if there is not the right job out there - create your own job ...

when i put this outfit together, i really wanted to be me but looking super professional as well. i think, i did quite good.

Swingy

 saturday night outfit ... during the photo shoot i was listening to the andrew sisters and started swinging ... sorry for the blurry pictures but it was dark and late ... dress: 90s does early 40s // shoes: deichmann // early 60s hat: flea market // 50s bag: flea market ...

this is what i wore when we went out to see the runaway brides playing at wild at heart club ... i loved the show ... great girls, great country music, great lyrics ...

Mummy's Got A New Baby ...

 

what to wear to a freezing cold indoor (!) flea market in december? ... cardi: primark // long knit top: no name // 70s skirt: flea market // vintage belt: came with a skirt // ski underwear ... not visible // tights: avanti // warming faux fur lined 70s boots: flea market // beret: flea market ... not very fancy but warm enough to survive.

look what i found on past sunday's flea market ... aaaah, isn't she cute?! a creme coloured mid century purse in a quite perfect condition. the lady told me it's an east german piece from her mother. but the same lady wanted to sell typical 70s as 50s dresses. ... so i don't really know, if it's east or west german, maybe from poland or from the moon ... oh, don't think this bag is white - it's definitely creme coloured - otherwise the seller will kill you. i almost ended up in a fight with her ... crazy lady!

anyhow: mummy's got a new baby in her collection.
