It was the summer of 1993. I was 15 years old and finally ventured into a vintage clothing store. It was nothing like I had ever seen. Every piece was unique and had a story to tell. Some items were demure, others were over the top and dramatic. It was at that moment I fell in love with all things vintage. I left the store with what I now know to be a Gunne Sax dress. Very traditional style. Blue with calico print and the lace up corset. It made me feel unique and special.

Etsy has been a wonderful addition to my life. For the past 18 years I have scoured thrift stores, swap meets, estate sales, etc. for goods for myself. I have passed over hundreds of unique items because they weren't my size or exact style. Etsy has given me the chance to bring those items to you. I look for items that have that je ne sais quoi feeling to them. They are all special and I hope they give you the same feeling that I got when I walked into my first vintage store all those years ago.
