Stratton compact with a flamingo print!!! Its so amazingly clean inside too:
Its sad how excited I was about bagging this baby!
Here is the other more subtle lady:
Again another Stratton compact which is a bit more understated, but still just as shiny and fabulous.
So these are my two new lovelies, I also discovered this weekend that there is a British vintage compact collectors society - who'd have thought! Its very exclusive though as charges a yearly membership fee ;o) lol.
And here is one last look with my beautiful hairbrush from Kylie:
Ta ta for now

Hi Scarlett, loving the flamingo compact. I too have pink flamingos in the back garden but, unfortunately, they've lost their legs (how, I know not) so they lie around looking a bit hopeless and sad! I can't bear to throw them away, though. I tried getting replacement flamingos from the internet (this was a while ago now) but couldn't find any anywhere! The US company that made them, apparently, went bust. Boo hoo.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day. xx
That flamingo compact is absolutely beautiful Scarlett, I can easily understand your excitement at nabbing it.
ReplyDeleteps have a look at Dawn and Steven's White Horse blog for flamingo info...Dawn has just got some from the states for her birthday x
Molto romantico e dolce lo specchietto.portacipria!Un abbraccio,Rosetta
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of flamingos too... maybe I should sneak some into my flats shared garden?!

Oh what beautiful compacts ~ well done indeed! How many compacts do you have in your collection so far? What a lovely thing to collect! Love Brenda
ReplyDeleteI saw a compact just like your flamingo one on eBay! Is that where you got it? If so then I'm glad you won it because it's stunning! Such beautiful colours! I was looking at compacts on eBay last night too! xxx
ReplyDeleteI so love the vintage compacts im always eyeing them up on ebay but saving for our holiday so not alowed to spend on stuff we dont need at the mo :(
ReplyDeleteMore fabby finds from you! Love it! Thank you for your sweet comment regarding my gift tags! I'm on a high at the mo as I've just come back from a little jaunt to the charity warehouse, which can be a little hit and miss, today it was a hit!!
ReplyDeleteWill post about it later!

Stratton compacts are my favourites - there are some utterly fab designs! Although my plain gold coloured one isn't too fancy but I adore it. Those flamingoes are incredible - it's so you! Lol. The plainer one is just as lovely though and they look great with Kylie's hairbrush!

I love compacts and had a love affair for flamingos as a teen so love what you got
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic find. defiantly of its time. so very cute!
ReplyDeleteScarlett I love Flamingos. I have some in my deck garden and a whole 'collection' of Flamingo items. That compact is so spectacular! I would swoon if I found one. The other is lovely also. I think I'm falling in love with compacts now. hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteGosh, there's an association for everything these days isn't there?! That Flamingo compact was a great buy, have you got a dress with Flamingo print on it? I'm sure I've seen someone wearing a halter-neck. That's be a lovely combo.
ReplyDeleteIndeed they are pretty amor.
ReplyDeleteI have the the blue compact ,but with flower version.flamingos are a must for rockabilly girls.
Ooh fly my pretties, fly! There is a wetlands centre round by my folks (Swansea valley) which has all the local birds - mallards and such - and then some random flamingos which are unbelievably noisy and stinky. I think I prefer your compact ;-)
ReplyDeleteOMG I love flamingos! So jealous of that compact right now, its so pretty! :)
ReplyDeleteLoveeeeeee the flamingos compact! adorable arent they??? look how shiny the inside is!! and the stratton one is so elegant!! im surprised they have the compact collectors society lol.
ReplyDeleteooohhh i love this one the flamingos is a real beauty and such bright colours still, no wonder you were excited i would have been to. I can't believe there is a club for this that did make me smile bless ;-)) dee x
ReplyDeleteOh girl that flamingo compact is killer! Great score! I'd be excited too...heck I'm excited for you! *winks* Vanna
ReplyDeleteLovely compacts and practical too. Imagine the glamour when touching up your nose! I'm on the look out for some flamingos for the garden too, to keep the gnome company!
ReplyDeleteI never realised how much of a kitchsy girl at heart I am - (I like to think I am understated...hahahaha as if).... those flamingos are the bees knees!
ReplyDeleteCompacts are looking fab!
ReplyDeleteBee happy x
Have a delicious day!
