My first GIVEAWAY...

And here it comes.... my first GIVEAWAY!!! I'm really proud to have reach the 100 followers this week and I know there are much more people who follow it without being a follower!
I don't have any sponsors for my blog so I had to search in my cupboards what I can offer to you and which will be easy to ship worldwide...

So here are what I found for you :


First a so cute keyschain from the 50's (perhaps early 60's)! I own exactly the same for my '54 Chevrolet but in an aqua color, just check the following picture. This cat also exist in black and red!


And I think that a lot of you love nice 50's fashion pictures and drawings, vintage magazines and sewing! So I will also offer 3 vintage sewing magazines from 1953 and 1957.


The covers of these magazines are not in perfect condition with some tears and names written on them, but there are so much nice things to see inside!!!


Summer dresses...


Playsuits...


Winter coats...


Winter dresses...


Full skirts and wiggle dresses...


Wedding dresses and nice knitts...
 

And the best thing for you who know how to sew and knitt.... you can find all the pattern of these beauties in these magazines in various sizes!!!! But be carefull these magazines are german, I don't speak really well german but these kind of magazines are my favorites european ones because they show everyday fashion and not only HAUTE COUTURE! Moreover I always dream to be able to use all those patterns... I own about 400 of these german magazines!!!

Google translate can easyly help you to understand the patterns instructions....

Look here to see scan of about all vintage Burda magazines.


So HOW TO ENTER THIS GIVEAWAY??????

First chance to win: you must be a follower of my blog of course and leave a comment which tell me which of my older post did you prefer. It will help me to know what you like to read: vintage magazines, flea markets, vintage cars, outfits posts...????

    I liked the post about your vintage glasses best! http://lostin1950.blogspot.com/2011/12/my-collection-of-glasses.html
    I'm into vintage glasses and porcelain myself and therefore I always like to see, what other people have found on fleamarkets or ebay! :-)

    I love your blog - it's so awesome, keep it going! :-)

      I am a follower! I have to say my favorite post is actually the last on "50's sweater girl". I adore the whole outfit. From the sweater to the coat to the lovely green gloves that you can barely see of your hands. And that bag! To die for!

    Im glad I found your blog its a delight. I love all your posts especially the ones about flea markets. But if I have to choose my favourite it is on your tumblers. I recently have been forced to buy vintage glass as a seller I have much admired has decided to move and is selling all his stock. So far I have purchased some pin up girl tumblers and some babycham glasses. Next on the list are shot glasses.

    Wow, what a great giveaway! I just became a follower and I'm honestly a bit surprised I hadn't found this lovely blog of your before! Well, now I've got lots of catching up to do with your old posts. Going through part of them, I already and immediately found my favorite post! This one, about Jukeboxes: http://lostin1950.blogspot.com/2012/01/juke-boxes.html. I simply love jukeboxes! Another great post was the one about dieting, just prior to the jukebox post.

    Hi! I have followed your blog, am commenting here, and have reposted on Facebook and my own blog... so that makes three entries, right?

    My favourite post of yours is "HATS from PARIS!!!!" - I WISH I could have a huge frivolous hat collection!

    Here is the link to my Facebook page where I linked to your blog (I hope you can see that!).

    And my blog where I made a post about it!

    http://highballemys.blogspot.com/2012/02/lost-in-50s-giveaway.html

    I actually need some magazines like this for my university dissertation this year, believe it or not! So I'm really hoping to win.

    OK, that's it from me!

    Love,

    Emy

    I'm a new follower (Holly S.), but I love your style!!! Looking back through your posts, I love anything to do with vintage fashion from the 60's and back. Vintage magazine scans, vintage finds, anything related to sewing. I love strange or weird (to us now) vintage ads (your 'dieting' post is a perfect example) for strange and mysterious beauty creams, Lysol brande douche, etc. Thanks so much for the giveaway; I'm super-excited and I can't wait to see more posts from you!
