Pink and Black Polka Dot Pot Holders Handmade by by forthebettys

Pink and Black Polka Dot Pot Holders Handmade by by forthebettys

Yup- here they are. I was doing a little sewing therapy and this is what came of it. LOL. These are cute for your retro rambler. The girly inside and well, just to look at. They do work! I have made a few in my day and when company comes and they see me pull out my polka dot holders they always ask where I got them. Where else??..Me!

Of course they are not going to be perfectly sized the same since they are hand made. However they are aprox 7 1/2 inches by 7 1/2 inches. This listing is for the two you see in the pictures. They would make for a great first apartment gift or a cute splash of color to your kitchen! (via ForTheBettys on Etsy)

Vintage 70s Light Brown and Creme Mens Tux by forthebettys

Ahhh, he's getting ready with his button on ruffles while she is getting the last finishing touches from her brides maids. It is a retro wedding just waiting to come together! Great Fall colors in this suit and excellent lines make for a perfect wedding shot.

This is a lovely tux that is just waiting to be worn again! The label states Chancellor by John Weitz and below that are two more labels. One for care and launder instructions and the other from Amalgamated Workers of America Copyrighted in 1949 however this suit is pretty much dated to the 70s. Size 37 R. Pants have a tag that state 28-30 REG. Palm Beach Formals.

I just love this suit! It looks so great on the model and the lines are just perfect. This comes with pants, jacket and a great button on ruffle to give it that complete look!

Vintage Christmas Tree Candy Dish Spatterware by forthebettys

Vintage Christmas Tree Candy Dish Spatterware by forthebettys

This little cutie is a 70's candy dish. It had been hand painted and fired. I have a couple of these that I use during the holidays but I don't need so many ;) The main color for the background is a creamy white with greens and red splashes. This application of color was highly popular as I have many hand painted owls and flower pots just like it from this decade.
The dish measures just over 7 inches long and 6 inches wide at the fatest area towards the bottom. The dish is at least less than a pound.
The paint and shine are in very good condition. I do not see any cracks or chipping and the color, very vibrant. (via ForThebettys on Etsy)

Vintage Black Classic Clutch with a little flare by forthebettys

Vintage Black Classic Clutch with a little flare by forthebettys

This clutch is classic just like the title says. With 11 inches across at the bottom and just a smidge smaller at the top coming in around 10.4 inches it will give just the cutest flair to it. Faux gold coin purse like clasp are sturdy and will hold this closed nicely. Great clutch in good vintage condition. Item shows a little wear on the inside, however on the corner of the outter corner on the top left there is one spot that has started to wear thin and you are able to see a tiny bit of white coming through. For this reason I have lowered the price as is. (via ForTheBettys on Etsy)

Vintage Cotton Candy Pink Suit Late 60s by forthebettys on Etsy

Ohh for the love of PINK!!!
This suit is great! Just look at the buttons. You have bling down the front with a great Jackie O feel cut.
I am working on the measurements right now for the skirt but I can tell you this would fit a modern med. I have noticed that though this is a pencil style skirt it would be great if you need a bit more hip room as it has it.

I have noticed and tried to show this in the pictures that there are tiny little moth holes. For the Vintage Lover this isnt so bad. Other than that this suit is in great condition! No fading or rips or tears.
