  • Check out these babes from 1949: “Beaumelle works in fabulous fabrics, imported brocades, magnificent crepes, exquisites nets and laces. With pure artistry she drapes and tucks to achieve the couturier look every woman desires. Surprising and wonderful are the very modest prices. Dresses sketched, $55.00, from the collection on our fashion floor, the second.” Ad for Regenstein’s Peachtree, Georgia from the Atlanta Constitution, August 14, 1949. // #1950sfashion #vintagedesigner #1950s #1940sfashion
  • Also how precious is baby Claire? All five kittens are gaining weight and just starting to explore and interact with each other. Follow @peachandherpits for more of them ♥️ // #fosterkittens #kittenrescue #spayandneuter
  • Sometimes I hold off on posting dresses because I’m not sure I want to sell them, sometimes it’s because I’m too busy and sometimes it’s because I feel like I’ve only scratched the surface of the story behind them. This one is all three. By Beaumelle of California, coming soon. // #1950sfashion #vintagecalifornia #1950s
  • Peach’s little kit pits were born one week ago tonight 🎉🎂 This is big boy Brutus carelessly stepping on his twin sister June to get the best angle for snuggling. If you want more, you can follow them at @peachandherpits ♥️ // #fosterkittens #kittenrescue #peachandherpits

  • Turns out it’s really tough to get anything done when you have a room with tiny kittens
  • Here are a few reasons I’ve been absent this week: sweet stray mama Peach finally had her little pits on Wednesday! Everyone’s doing well and eating pretty much all the time, the little orange boy on the right is the smallest at 95 grams so we’ll keep an eye on him in particular. We are fostering this little family through @kittenrescuela so in a couple months these nuggets will be ready for adoption ♥️ Now the big question... do they get their own Instagram? 🤔 // #fosterkittens #kittenrescue #spayandneuter #adoptdontshop
