SALE SALE SALE!

I have WAY TOO MUCH vintage right now. I don't really see it as a problem, but I'm running out of storage room, so I decided to mark down some shoes and clothing in my ETSY store

Yes, those Balenciaga's are on sale now!!!

Back to Etsy time!

This week has been a bit of a drag. My Grandmother passed away and I quit a job. Lots of stress.

Today, I decided to start anew and put up some more listings on Etsy. I know lots about fabric and garment construction, but I keep finding myself stumped on fabric types today! The fabric section of the Rolodex that is my brain won't open. So, I put up a few listings. I'm hoping the fog will lift by tomorrow, so I can go full steam ahead.

Well, I still know what cotton is!!!

Re cap

I'm exhausted and headed to bed. The last 3 days have been emotionally draining, but FULL of good vintage. I will elaborate on them some time when I'm not going to fall asleep on my laptop. Good night!

Char...The one that got away...

So, I was doing some reading online today...I'm trying to be a vintage sponge and educate myself on every label EVER! I've learned more in the last few months than I ever imagined I could, which is why I'm so annoyed when I do research on a label that I know I've passed over in the past. I know that not too long ago I passed up a leather Char piece. Grrrr! It's water under the bridge now, so no use in my being upset. I stumbled upon the label while perusing Posh Girl Vintage. I looked around online a bit and all I could really come up with was that its a leather design company from Santa Fe. If anyone can give me more info on Char I would greatly appreciate it!

On a wonderful bright note, I did stumble upon another Vested Gentress dress (I have 3 now!). It's the popular front/back horses print. It has a small stain at the top (and of course it's off white!) so I'm thinking if I can't clean in that I may re-purpose the dress into a skirt. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Getting started

I've been reading other people's blogs for god knows how long. Now here's my contribution. Voyeur becomes exhibitionist!

I really live and breath vintage. (see some of my vintage @ www.teastreetvintage.etsy.com) I'm going to post more on this Tuesday when I plan to update. For now, it's Sunday, beautiful outside and my friends are about to start up a back yard picnic. I'm headed out.

Til Tuesday...
