I know I said I wasn’t going to buy anything for at least a month- well, I’m weak! I purchased these dresses from a nice lady who popped in today unannounced. All are 50’s dresses from dress shops in Philadelpia and were owned by the same lady.
This is just a quick preview- they all need pressed [...]

I finished sewing my red rose dress today from the 1957 pattern. I wore it with modern peep toe pumps I got from penneys a few years ago. They look so vintage, you can’t tell! Sunglasses, bead necklace and bracelet- all vintage 5o’s. The red crinoline is enormass with many layers- looks great but not [...]

Have any of you watched Kirstie Ally’s new show? I love the show and her. Beautiful and hilarious fat or thin. The tabloids were so vicious about her weight gain. Sexist!! They never get on James Gandolphinis’ case or any big actor. John Travolta is a good 70 lbs heavier now that he’s in his [...]

First of all my apologies to Shakespeare. Have any of you watched all the shows on hoarding????
I have and they are freaking me out. It runs in families, my Grandma, Mom, and brother are hoarders, although their homes are not dirty or unsafe, stuff has taken over. They are also loving, kind people and I love [...]

Mandi does it again! She was kind enough to send me some pics of her modeling photos wearing clothing she got at Vintage JoAnn.
The blue 50’s dress with the lace and tulle looks adorable, and I LOVE the hat! Also 50’s netting and blue millinary flowers.
The leopard skirt was a 60’s find and very cool [...]

Last week I spent some enjoyable time talking 70’s fashion with a customer. She brought several things in to sell and she could remember where and when she wore them.
I do believe that for most woman clothing represents the history of our lives. An article of clothing can take you right back so clearly you can [...]

It does’nt get better than this!!!! My good friend Julie McLaughlin picked me up last Sat. at 8 am. to go to a HUGE community garage sale.
As anyone who knows me will attest to, this is about the only activity I will get out of bed for that early. I’m a night owl plus. Why [...]
