Wow what a ride it's been !!!

Can't believe March 1st is almost here. Last year this time I was busy setting up my shop on Main St. Moving in was a lot of work but I had a lot of help from family and friends. April 1st was my opening date and I am trying to plan something special for my first year anniversary. Any ideas out there?

I have met a lot of nice people there and a lot of them have come back over and over again. I can't say THANK YOU enough !!! My vintage clothing and accessories have been a big hit. Altered art people have found some really neat things there and lots of photographers have come in for props. Collectors have found that special item to add to their collection, some have been looking for years for a certain item. I even keep a "want book" for people to add to. And there is a lady in town who loves my primitives. If you are looking for 50's retro kitchen, I have it. The retro and clothing have been my most popular items.

Today a young college man came in and purchased a little child's tea set to give to a teacher. He says they always have tea together. I thought " what a nice thing to do".

It never fails to surprise me when someone finds something special for someone else.

If you ever come in on a Friday you met my daughter, Jennifer. She is my mentor when it comes to marketing and keeping me up to date on the latest. She makes the neatest one-of-a-kind greeting cards and sells them at the shop. She is a dog lover and uses her 3 "boys" for models on the cards among other things she see here and there. She does a great job with the cards. Make sure you check them out when you come in. She also loves to recycle things and has a line of jewelry there. Just recently she introduced her Pin-up girls necklaces. Cute!!!!

I have so many plans for the shop and items to bring in. Today I put some children's games from the 40's and 50's. The Candy Land game is the exact one I had as a child. Tempted to just frame the game board, it is soooooooooo cute!!! If you are a camera buff, you will find some things from the 40's.

Do hope you enjoy my blog. Feel free to make comments so I know you're out there. Shirley

NKOTB

Ok all you New Kids on the Block fans, look at this young man modeling the NKOTB coat for me! Looks great huh? Not too many of these around and in mint condition. It was one of my daughters must-haves but she never wore it. Just worshipped it! Now she is ready to part with it and has put it up for sale in my shop. If you are interested don't wait too long, it may not last.

New items added to the shop weekly and sometimes daily. Currently opened Fri thru Mon.

Stop in and say hi. Shirley

P.S. Just checked on Ebay and there is one for 488.00!!!!!! Ours is MUCH LESS!!!

Here we go again!!!

Ok, I found this 1950's navy dress just recently. It has a full circle skirt and is embellished with white daisies with rhinestones in the centers of the daisys. It is drop dead gorgeous ! Don't you agree? Dressing and undressing her is not a simple chore. Her arms have to come off in order to get the dress on, she doesn't bend like we humans do. But I love her never- the- less!!!! She is doing her job very well, I may have to give her a raise. Stop by and see her sometime, she may even let you take your picture with her!!!1

Here she is again!

Found another dress for Jill to model. She is so good to me. She watches over the shop while I am gone. She has the prettiest green eyes. Some of the men who come in like to have their picture taken with her. WHOOPS !!!!! This dress is gone now too! Hope the lady enjoys it. Now, what shall I do ?????????????

Meet Jill !!!!

All That's Vintage I would like you to meet Jill. My husband named her after she stood in our hallway for some time. The "Pretty Woman" dress she is wearing went out the door right after I posted my new remodel of the shop. Very cute dress. The lady also bought the purse and suitcase. Can't leave her naked can I ?????????????????
