| Fabulous Edwardian Lace Dress c. 1910- Mint Condition $225 SOLD |
As many of you know, in September of 2011, I combined shops with Kate Fine of
The Hope Chest. We now have a lovely spot in a historic building in the heart of
Kensington Antique Row. Kate specializes in vintage linens, clothing, hats, purses and all sorts of feminine antiquities. I thought I would share some of her latest fabulous finds and let you meander through her collection.

On a side note, wanted to spot light a fellow blogger and antiquer,
Liz Mathews. Liz just did a post on my shop and took the most FABULOUS pictures... I am so honored that she chose my shop to write about! Visit Liz's blog as well as her 2 Etsy boutiques - Liz Mathews'
Vintage Treasures and
The French Poste. You won't be disappointed!
Also, I plan on doing a future post on theft in antique stores. I've been doing some interviews as well as research so hopefully I'll be able to give an informed overview of this serious topic. I was "inspired" to focus on this due to the overwhelming problem of theft I've had in the last two months. Over 6 items have been stolen! If you have a chance, leave a comment concerning your thoughts on this subject.
