Flopsy wanted to go antiquing for her 16th birthday, so that’s what we did. First we hit up a nearby antique mall…
shopping for gloves
Y’all, I was SOOO good. I didn’t buy one package of quilt squares.
Any guesses on year of Girl Scout uniform?
The girls laughed at this camera so hard.
Then we went to a vintage store specializing in painted furniture and vintage clothes (and various and sundry other things)…
Just about killed me but I did not buy this. Sigh.
Would you believe she bought this? Loved it.
Proof I went along.
This mink hat had the mink’s foot in the center top.
She could actually carry off a fascinator!
And here are some of the finds:
(the skirt)
She looks adorable in this hat.
(Duchess put on a pair of Flopsy’s gloves for the photo.)
I couldn’t resist some old photos. There were tons.

One of my indulgences. They were only $6 apiece and in beautiful condition.
My other indulgence. It will go with my other vintage paper mache egg for Pascha.

The Girl Scout uniform is probably 1930s or 1940s. They are pretty valuable, especially one in that good of condition with the scarf still attached!
