In honor of the fallen, please take a moment to salute all who gave their lives sixty-eight years ago today at Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941.

May freedom always reign, thank you for your sacrifice.

Lost Blogger Surfaces...

I told you not to hold your breath....I told you so...I told you so....

Well, I am here, alive and well.... with no excuses....why bore you with all that....I was gone but now I'm found.

Here are some new vintage pieces for your viewing pleasure over at ClubVintage....enjoy!

Abducted By Aliens? Or.......

I could say that I was abducted by aliens...but that is a lie...at least I think it is...it would at least, be a lame excuse for not posting in ever so long. I have had no strange dreams or marks on my body to suggest I was abducted so I guess that I will just fess up to being a super lazy blogger.

I will do my best to keep up with my postings and not lapse into nothingness.....although I am a very imperfect person so don't hold your breath or anything, ok?

I want to show off some fabulous Etsy offerings...I may be slightly prejudiced as I think my fellow Vintage Fashion Guild members have the best vintage on Etsy or the planet but I promise you won't be disappointed.

Just too cute....

Vintage Fashion Guild...Fall Inspirations

I just have to brag about the Vintage Fashion Guild's 2009 Fall Inspirations layout. It showcases some of the "best of the best" vintage clothing sellers. This fantastic piece of work gives vintage sellers a chance to show off their vintage items that align perfectly with this seasons fashion pieces hot off the runways.

I am a small seller compared to some of my fellow members of the Vintage Fashion Guild however, even I have a dress represented in the extravanganza!

Be sure to check out all the fabulous pieces over at The Vintage Fashion Guild

For fall 2009, designers have been inspired by past hits from the 1930s
through the 1980s, with everything from Depression-era flights of fancy
to timeless work-worthy suits. Come explore the inspirations for current
fashion, presented by the members of the Vintage Fashion Guild.

This Weeks Estate Sale Treasures

This post is going to be a big tease because I have no pictures of my newest finds. It was overcast and raining all day so picture taking was impossible.

I found some wonderful pieces at the first stop of the day....two formal 50's gowns...five late 40's to early 50's dresses including one that is pink & black...several coats, a nice selection of purses, hats and a sexy 50's swimsuit!

On my second stop the only thing I got was one dress...it is a beautiful aqua blue color fitted sheath, it would look right at home on the set of Mad Men .

The third stop was a treasure trove of vintage sewing patterns, mostly uncut from the 1950's & 1960's.
I also found a great brown faux alligator round suitcase style beauty case filled with sample bottles from Beauty Counselor. Each pink-topped glass bottle fits into its personal built-in pink elastic niche, just what every vintage loving gal needs!

Enough of the tease....if the sun pops out tomorrow I'll snap some pictures of my fabulous haul.

The Rising Guilt...or...My Momma Raised Me Good

I feel so guilty for not posting anything for so long...I guess that my momma raised me right...to feel guilty about everything!

I will be putting up some new fall and winter items at my Etsy store...ClubVintage soon so be sure to check them out...especially the boots.

I want to also recommend that you search Esty vintage by VFG team member...you will find some great offerings from my fellow Vintage Fashion Guild member's stores.... have fun!
