A Place to Shop for Vintage Fashion, Decor, Jewlery & More
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 [...]
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 [...]
by JoAnnEnough with the March snow!!! I retaliated by getting out the ceramic easter bunnies and spring silk flowers out! I’ve been shopping like crazy and folks have been bringing in things to sell. I discovered some incredible 50′s leather stilletos in Columbia on Sun. and a treasure trove of spring hats full of floral petels and [...]

by JoAnnI’m totally addicted to fashion magazines. As many of you know, there are piles of them in the shop to enjoy. I love vintage magazines, and collect old Vogues. I also subscribe to lots of new mags such as Vogue, Lucky, Elle, Bazaar, Glamour, In Style, Romantic Homes, Victorian Homes, etc. It helps me keep on top of [...]
by JoAnnToday at the shop a lady came in with a few things to sell plus her lovely 1959 wedding dress she was finally ready to part with. Her name is Nedra Rank and I’m sure many local people know her as she had a 37 yr. career teaching jr. high at York Suburban and Red [...]
by JoAnnIt’s always interesting being in the shop and noticing trends in what people are looking at and buying. The trick in the vintage business is to acquire items that fit the trends in a business where you can’t go to a wholesaler and say send me 20 of this or that. Vintage in general is [...]
by JoAnnToday was such a fun day at the shop. The commute is great (I live above the store) , snacks are handy and I can keep an eye on Ziggy, my bichon puppy, and Ozzie, my ginormous black cat. I sold lots of costume jewelry, linens, a purse, and various cards. The best part of [...]
