So, over the past many many years I have been sporadically selling vintage & handmade on eBay,  Etsy & now Market Publique.  Now I want to see which one works best for me, and to keep things organized! eBay is mostly designer newer clothing that I don’t wear enough, I’m trying to keep Etsy handmade, [...]

I went peeking at the Fall 09 collections to distract myself from absurd heartaches. Curious how the trends that stand out to me are the ones I always like anyway. I wonder how different other people’s perspectives are? Also, I’m ready to forget spring and jump right into fall – I should start adding spring [...]

Modepass has an interview with me up!! Exciting and cute. I love everyone else’s answers too, so interesting. Please to note I did not say my age. Haha. Shhhh.

Added about a dozen new things to the shop – a lot more to come, but I’m not super pleased with the lighting / set up here, so I want to fuss with it before I take more photos. I’ve gone through so many backdrops depending where I’ve lived – currently, the only nook available [...]

So, we did not go camping – it will have to wait!! The Bay Area was tossed and battered like a ship in the storms of the weekend, so we spent Valentine’s evening in a tiny turret room, kept awake by lightning, the wind wuthering around the redwood trees, and the sound of Tomales Bay [...]

A Victorian cream silk and lace pleated ruffle forms an epaulet over one shoulder, with a wee fleur de lys pattern and [...]

Some amazing updates to the shop, including 2 of my favorite finds ever! A grey wool 1970′s princess coat, and a 1940′s dress with ruching and pockets and puffed sleeves & oh oh oh perfection. Click the link to the left or visit Etsy! Saturday afternoon tea and cookies dress! I got this one in [...]

I just came across is a huge page / shop of vintage silk Chinese children’s hats. What? Birthday, soon, mine.

I’ve been wearing Dior’s Hypnotic Poison for about 5 years now. It’s How I Smell, when I am not smelling like a ripe little dirtball. I recently ran out, and while wandering Bloomingdale’s trying to keep my mind off the election until more results were in, asked them for something a little more modern to [...]
