Baja Hoodies │ Mexican Pullover │ Cozy Blanket Surfer Sweatshirts

Okay ... so living in California, we see quite a few of these hoodies around. I mean, Mexico and Hawaii are where we Californians go for someplace warm and amazing (when we're not here, when it's warm and amazing.) And also, because we border Mexico, I come across quite a few of these wonderful sweatshirts at my thrift store treasure-hunting.

Having said that, these hoodies literally FLY off my Etsy shelves when I list them. Everyone wants one. Why? Simple. They are darn cute. They are soft. They are cozy in a California surfing-style kind of way. And everyone looks good in one.

The vintage ones are extra soft and cozy, and it really does pull a vibe that says "lets go to the beach and watch the sun set," even though the beach closest to me is cold, with very icy water right now. As gorgeous as San Francisco is, the beaches are cold. L.A beaches are what you want to keep warm.

But, we'll keep with the surfer style, warm-beach thoughts. That's where I want to be right now! I love these hoodies. I literally want to keep every one of these I get for my shop

I have a few in my store at any given time, so stop on by. Nothing says California like a Baja Hoodie.

Hoodie up!

Perennial Vintage Turns Ten

Winter Sweaters in the Shop It's hard to believe for me, but on November 30th, 2010 I began my foray into the world of Etsy vintage. A lot has changed since then. And I don't mean just in the world. I mean in Etsy itself. When I opened shop a decade ago, there were so few sellers compared to now, and things sold much faster because there was such little competition. But competition is good. It makes us more creative and promotes grit: both of which are necessary for growth and success. And I have to say, this has been THE MOST creative, fun, rewarding, and exciting work I've ever had. I took a hobby and learned to make a little profit from it on the side. Even though this is a business for me now, selling vintage is still my hobby. While it's nice to monetarily benefit from it, it isn't the only reason I do it. The reason I sell vintage is simple: I love vintage.  I want to preserve it, research it, wear it, love it, talk about it, and naturally, I want to sell  i

Vintage Cardigans │ Fashion Cardigan Love

I seriously have a good "issue" with cardigans. Yes, they're in. But, they've always been in. And this one that I found a few weeks ago is no exception. It's straight from the 1970s, but exactly what's back in today with the almost bell-like wide sleeves, hood, and Aztec/Native American pattern. Hate to say it, but I'm keeping this one. Of course, if I find more (and choose NOT to keep those too, ha!) then I'll sell those. See how great it goes with jeans and boots from today? (both from Target.com by the way). The belt is vintage too! (pic 4) Best part? Cardigan was $4, belt was $2. Ooh la la! Love this outfit...

Vintage Cowichan Cardigan Sweater

So, I have this thing for vintage sweaters. That has been established. And I definitely have an affinity for wool sweaters, particularly of the quality variety, i.e. Pendleton, Filson, etc. I was lucky enough (believe me, I was hyper-ventilating when I saw this) to snag this last year at a thrift store. It's hand made, made of wool, no tags. Looks to be from the 1960s. Of the Cowichan style (a native-American tribe, which I believe is Canadian. Their sweaters are what began a movement of quality, thick, warm, amazing sweaters) this thing is THE warmest sweater I have ever owned. This one isn't for sale. But, if you want one just as good, may I recommend you to Filson. Click here ◄ for some gorgeous Cowichan sweaters. Of course, Pendleton ◄ has some great ones too. And for the right price, you have buy them on Etsy ◄. You'll have yours for nearly a life-time or more. Happy New Years Eve and Day, dear readers ...
