fashion items:
50s-60s lady hats, some are to weard to wear (like huge round feather hats) but I love them anyway. They can make a creazy outfit if you want to stand out at a party or for cool pictures.
recently 50s-60s lady gloves, they are all over the catwalk but street fashion hasn't picked up on it.
70s-80s party/disco clothes, I love those colors, glitters, prints, even the model of the clothes
bags! I have a lot of them from difrent periods but don't use them all and they take so much space up
jewelry! I had it several times now that old jewelry I bought was a lot like sudden trends only better looking and I had it for a long time waiting for the right moment. I also found some stuff which is a lot like designer stuff. (For example a handmade little salamander broche from little beads on iron thread for 50 sent. While I saw similar broches from a young designer called Mada van Gaans for sale priced around 40 euros!)
shoes, if I can find them in my size. I prefer the 50s-60s lady shoes with small heel and the 80s slutty stuff! I think both are more elegant than current fashion. I also like old skool sneakers, like run dmc wore.
nylon tights and stockings
O man I'm a fashion junky... my world evolves around it!
toys & crafts:
Love old toys like the 90s(?) brite haired trolls and old little McDonalds plushies from the Happy Meal. (There's a designer in the Netherlands called Bas Kosters. He makes little plusies and puts pins behind them, so they are like broches. I decided the old McDonalds plushies are perfect for that too.)
Then there are other little plastic toys which can be used for jewelry. I don't feel I have enough for the crafting projects in my head so I'm just collecting spare parts little by little.
buttons, specially the 60s(?) glass buttons those are so adorable!
vintage fabric if I can find it and other sewing appliances. Though I have a huge collection of sewing stuff at my mothers place. It would take up too much space at my room in the student house. So I stopped with the sewing items for a while. My latest big purchase in that field was a good old iron sewing machine for 10 euro's. It's beautifully decorated with flowers in the iron and has a decorated wooden case. I haven't tested it yet but hope it works.
Almost forgot my latest obsession... pre 90s Polly Pocket dolls! I'm sold since I've seen diy queens make jewelry with these tiny cute dolls. I never seen them at thrift stores in Holland and I think they are pretty rare here compared to UK and USA. So I used eBay to look for Polly Pockets. Bought a childrens child braclet with faery dolls which I'm going to use for some other jewelry. I also stumbled on the original Polly Pocket jewelry made for kids, like clip-on earrings and rings. I'm pretty sure I can fit into those or at least I'll try. I even found some Polly Pocket picture lockets I could use as jewelry. (People in the clubs hang My Little Pony's and Barbie dolls on ropes/chains around their neck, so why not Polly Pockets?)
