There are many reasons why I started this blog. The absolute necessity to document my vintage finds has recently become apparent. The vintage gods really are smiling on me. I opened a little vintage etsy shop and many items I find cannot be sold there because they are not vintage. So I need a forum and here it is. First, I think it is more important to tell you why I opened a vintage shop on etsy, as these reasons are real important for why I started this blog.
1) I really don't want to sound cliche, but I have thrifted all of my life and have a pretty lovely collection of stuff I think others might enjoy. I wore a beautiful 40's off white dress with black polka dots and big shell buttons to my high school graduation. To my college graduation, I wore a wonderful silk 40s dress with an almost zebra print. I love to thrift and I love vintage dresses. 2) I want to have a place to showcase items I probably won't sell. I have a 3 tiered system when I shop. I look for regular, unnamed vintage, designer clothing (not vintage) and the ultimate find is vintage designer. I found a vintage Givenchy jacket (I didn't buy it) a little while back and could kick myself for not buying it, but this is the ultimate tier I look for. I have found some doozies recently, but I will dole these out in bits, with pictures! And finally, 3) like many, this financial crisis has forced me to step outside of the box and think harder about how to meld my passion for thrifting (really, an addiction) with a way to make a little more money, hopefully. So, there you have it. I promise to keep up with this blog and showcase my lovelies.
