by JoAnnI 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 [...]
by JoAnnI 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 [...]
by JoAnnI’ve had this stash of vintage 50’s dress patterns in my size for a while now. One has to go strictly by measurements, not size, on vintage patterns as well as clothing. I generally wear a plus 16 in modern sizes but need a 40 bust in vintage patterns which is a size 20-22. I finally got [...]
by JoAnnThe shop has been busy and so have I. I’ve found so much fun vintage Christmas jewelry and folks love it. It is so much more charming then the new stuff. My favorite piece is a graceful reindeer pin leaping into the air complete with red rhinestone nose!
Julie and I took a field trip to [...]
by JoAnnYikes! How did it get so late in the year?
My daughter Jennifer, her husband Jason, and son Nate were here for a whirlwind visit over Thanksgiving when the shop was closed.
They live in upstate New York and we don’t get to see each other very often. I cooked dinner and my folks and brothers came [...]
by JoAnnMandi 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 [...]

Please check out all the girl’s pictures , as they all looked adorable!
It’s been a busy few weeks here at [...]
by JoAnnIt 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 [...]
by JoAnnWow, it’s a steamer today! I know it’s not a hot flash because every one else is hot too.
It’s a lot cooler in Vintage JoAnn than outside! Lots of fans and shade to keep things comfy. I shop way too much and of course as usual have TOO MUCH INVENTORY.
If you need cute vacation wear [...]
by JoAnnLast month a very attractive young couple stopped in and and I enjoyed their visit. One of the items they bought was a bright green halter dress, form fitting and dripping with long fringes, like a 20’s flapper dress, even though the dress is circa 1970. She looked absolutely fabulous and they left but not [...]
