I had a lucky weekend.
Art Deco costume jewelery brooch from Hobby Lobby. Cheap, yes, but under $5 with the weekly 40% coupon. Sometimes you just need a sparkly:
Two yards of Marcus Brothers Judie Rothermel Civil War fabric. I have a bunch of this in green with wine/brown flowers, that I mean to use for a dress. I also made a wrap skirt out of it, years ago, in brown on brown shades. I absolutely love the pattern. This is dull blue with brown. It will probably just be a skirt.
Four yards of older Marcus Brothers fabric, navy blue with large red robin-like birds. Very weird but somehow very awesome. Will be an early 1960's shirtwaist dress, possibly with fine red piping trim.
Simplicity 2012 (circa 1937): Sports dress in one or two pieces. Similar to the DuBarry I made a few years ago, but awesome.
Simplicity 1422 (1933-1935) National Recovery Administration: Dress with either blouse bodice (I think it's still one piece) or with double-breasted bodice with oversized revers:
