I seem to have a little addiction to vintage furs right now :) I recently snagged another mink stole. I found it on eBay and got it for a good price, I really like it because even though it's smaller, only 3 pelts, it's a lovely silver grey color. It has it's crocheted snap closure and it's little clip mouth.

Unfortunately the mink came from a smokers house and reek of old smoke. I have been trying different methods of airing them out as well as storing them in a separate box with lots of lavender. If anyone has any suggestions on getting smoke out of fur, I would love some help :)![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf_WVxxBkuA5INHRouMFZBcb9mC7g9kpGWannxlKySEHQTkJASyhxobjjGOcpKByvqft7xafIqv52g2lOcDJpcpjiC43COGJQwZC-fd6kDDBqPtFyETVKv125BVDQmAQQANauaco96PnkM/s320/3C1338C1-34A1-4FED-9671-3DC9BC1609AE-778720.png)
By now he probably smells better, but if not, bury him in clean cat litter for a while. That worked for a musty-smelling one I bought. Then lightly shake/vacuum him clean.
