70s Summer │ Vintage Summer

I tend to shop and sell 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s product for the store. Those are my favorite decades. And I suppose I like the 1980s too, but that's a decade all to its' own, and one that deserves its own post.

But every now and then, the 1970s appear and said items collide, coalesce, and all find their way to me in the same week.

True, there are more 1970s product to source than older, because obviously, the '70s were more recent than say, the 1940s.

(I'm also vehemently enforcing this concept because I was born in the 70s and it makes me feel young - albeit, if only briefly). But, it really goes in waves, and this week has a '70s vibe all over it.

I'm a Levi's gal, and these striped beauties are a true flash to the past. And would you check out that big E on the pocket tag? Pretty sweet. (Coming soon, this week!)







The belt here, mushroom and ladybugs included, are incredible. Who wouldn't want a belt like this? Stunning painted leather. With one glance, it says "Brady Bunch"and this is without you having to wear the bell-bottoms and part your hair in the middle. (Coming soon, this week!)

This blouse is in the shop right now. It's semi-sheer, it's embroidered, it has a key hole neck as well as lace down the front and cuffs. Lightweight and perfect for dressing up, for the office, or casual with jeans. So groovy.

Looking for a bit of 1970s in your wardrobe ladies and gents? I've got it!

And also, for Father's Day and for the start of summer now through the 21st of June, the whole shop is 15% off. Visit right here◄ to find just what you're looking for!

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 ...
