San Diego Finds

July 19, 2014, 17 Comments

Well, we are home from San Diego! What a trip! It was lots of fun, but I’m certainly glad to be home. I was planning on my “haul” post to be my last post about San Diego, but it seems y’all are just too impatient to hear about this vintage shop I’ve been hinting at on…

July Expo

July 13, 2014, 4 Comments

This weekend was one of the most anticipated events in my calendar, the summer antique show at the Portland Expo Center, aka Expo. While Expo happens three times a year (the other two shows being in March and October – learn more about Expo by visiting their website) the summer show is often the best,…

Day Trip Treasures

Yesterday I took a little day trip down to Eugene to visit with my friend Lyndsie, owner of Retro Rejuvenation. Under grey clouds and sporadic downpours, we drove around town visiting vintage and thrift shops alike and when the day was done we nearly filled up my trunk! Here’s a peek at the treasures that came…

A Few Finds

This last weekend was one of the more anticipated events of the year, the thrice annual antique expo. With the upcoming Palm Springs trip looming in the back of my mind, I spent a reserved amount of dough and only a few things came home with me… While there were a few dealers with clothing,…

Girls with Cars

Now, normally I just go hunting for pictures of fabulously dressed women when rifling through old photos, but photos of cars stand out to me as well, for reasons described in Boys and Their Cars. So today, I bring you photos of girls with cars. Other Vintage Photograph Posts Clowning Around Real Fashionable Ladies Vol.…

Stocking Boxes

When you wear vintage clothing, you sometimes inadvertently collect things. For me, that became stocking boxes. When I began wearing more and more vintage, some of my earliest fashion icons were the pin-up girls of Gil Elvgren, and nearly all of his lovely ladies were found in precarious positions that showed off their garters and…

Animal Friends

When sifting through vintage photos I don’t actively seek images of people and their pets, but every so often I come across a few gems that I feel I just have to pick up or they show up in an album that I happen to buy. So today I share with you people from the…

Vancouver Swag

Patrick had a conference in Vancouver, British Columbia the last few days, and I tagged along since I’d never been to Canada, plus I have a friend in Vancouver that I was looking forward to seeing again. We took the train up, and on our way there, I was Instagram’ing, and had a gal mention…

Real Fashionable Men Vol. 1

November 10, 2013, 7 Comments

In my last vintage photo post I highlighted more fashionable ladies, and while most of the time I look for well dressed gals from days gone by for inspiration, every once in awhile I come across a photo of a gentleman I just can’t pass up. I think it’s time we highlight some of these…

Just a Few Treasures…

This weekend was the third, and final, Antique Expo of the year… Dealers are trying to hustle their Halloween decorations just days before the holiday, and kitschy ceramic Santa Clauses are at every turn. While the show didn’t expand my wardrobe (and this time I’m quite thankful) it was still a lot of fun and…
