Whilst talking to a co-worker yesterday about all things vintage and magical, she mentioned that she collects all things Vera Neumann. I immediately googled her and then the madness began! I am in love with everything this lady designed, it's ridiculous. Vera is most well known for her mod scarves, but she also designed textiles, clothes and dinnerware. My co-worker said her mom does tons of thrifting and is always on the lookout for Vera, I hope I can magically come across something Vera in my search soon ;)

Here's the magical lady herself, surrounded by all of the things that inspire her ;)



I will take one of each dress please!



I am in love with this wall of Vera!









Do you have any Vera Neumann creations? I want to seeeeeee!

Katy guess what? That embroidery I have that you like, with the woman with the scarf? It's a 'Vera' design. Also I have that orangey floral tablecloth you pictured.
OMG you lucky duck! It's going to be the best thing ever when I find something vera while im thrifty shopping :)

I love Vera, too! I bought my first scarf on Etsy recently, and they are even more stunning in person. I am on the hunt for a dress now, and all things Vera are on my short list for thrifting. Good luck; I hope you find something fabulous!

I have <3 Vera since the 60's. (I'm old.) My Daddy was buddies with a Vera sales rep and used to bring home the most amazing sample dresses for Mom (a perfect 1960's size 8) and fabric samples for me!
I have scarves and one dress which looks dreadful on me but I will wear it now and again. (Makes me look preggers - A-line shapeless but with big bold flowers!)
I have a Vera scarf that I got on eBay for about $2 (in perfect condition.) I love her stuff, too...
I loved reading about all of your Vera love! I really want a dresssssssssssssssssss! I went to about 10 thrift stores over the weekend, no such luck :( Now it's my neverending goal, find VERA!
BPS- I can't believe you have a vera dress, I want to see! Woah dream come true for your momma, sample vera dresses sounds amazing ;)
xoxo
