Vintage Life

Fall is in full swing and though it's warm here today, I'm praying for cool weather and getting ready to do a rain dance. I'm ready to celebrate Fall. As in, NOW!

Anyway, I'm scouring my usual haunts for the best merchandise.

As noted in the picture, sweaters and button downs and leather in browns and golds and dark tones are in tow (as I write) and I'm only going to be adding more.

My favorite season deserves the best I can give especially when it's not acting as it should. Ahem. Mother Nature!

Regardless, I'm wearing the sweaters and boots and I hope that acts as a promoter of seasonal changes.

Also, did you know that My Little Pony is 35 years old? See, I know you're wondering how this relates. It doesn't.

But, it's vintage, so there's that. And back in 1983 I was seven years old and this was my dream toy.

So, to hop into Target and see the exact same toy -- thirty  five years later -- is both heartening and disheartening at the same time.

How can I be that old? is my first question.

And Can I find a reason to by this for myself? And Do I need  reason? are my next questions. It's only $9.99.

Happy November my friends, and next Monday we honor Veteran's Day. Needless to say, the shop will be on sale -- probably all weekend. ◄

Have a wonderful week. Now, I'm off to rain dance and find My Little Pony.

All good things, yep. All good things.

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
