Vintage Couture

     If you love vintage fashion and your closet is in need of some new threads then set aside some computer time on Sept 20th for a fantastic online auction brought to you by Leslie Hindman Auctioneers!
      It seems as though I'm always on the computer looking for unique vintage clothing and about a year ago I stumbled onto said auction house and was beyond thrilled at their offerings. Glamorous evening gowns, runway jewelry and more than a few Hermes bags are among their usual offerings. It seems they've been holding their famed vintage couture auctions twice a year for more than a few years now (Where have I been?!) and the next one is right around the corner. What makes this one so exciting for me is that I sent in some of my own items. I have bought from plenty of auction house including Leslie Hindman, but NEVER sold at any! Some items will go into the THOUSANDS but if you have a keen eye and are fast on the mouse, you could score some beautiful pieces! For more information go to the Leslie Hindman website.
