Thrift Haul- Tons of Vintage! 

Hi, I just discovered you and love your style and vintage finds. I wondered if you model what you buy, I would love to see all those aprons on you so we can get a better look at them. 💖🌹

And racism

So many people feel just like you. Back then, the world wasn't overpopulated & most of the population weren't on drugs.

and closed minds

Racism and closed minds still exist. Try not to be so negative !

Vintage vibes, not vintage values 💛

Exactly. I love that, too. What a nice tribute to her and her treasured pieces.

Hehe yay! It’s just so exciting!

Patty - I was born in 1952 and forgot all about using Vaseline on my patent leather ankle-strap Mary Janes! Sweet memory.

@@debbiem6406 - I wish I could have experienced more of the 50's!! (I was born in 1957).

Patty, my Mom used Vaseline on our patent leather shoes too! That brought back a happy memory.....thank you.

Good question!!!!

@Diana H not every one has stopped , so that ‘s so kool

Grandma was gettin' busy!

Good on grandma!

She found so many goodies!

Yes! You’re right. Vintage clothing usually holds up really well compared to modern.

planned obsolescence .. watch the lightbulb documentary on yt .. it made me so angry... i am flabbergasted at the audacity of people

Don't forget that EVERYTHING was dried on a clothes line back then. I have 50+ year old t-shirts and clothes I made in my teens - I'm 70 now. I'm not that great of a seamstress, but have never owned a dryer. They ruin fabric faster than anything. Wash in cold, line dry or dry flat on a drying rack. Your items will last for decades, not years.

Fast fashion was created so we would always be consumers, very very frequent consumers

Thanks so much for sharing that with me! You are amazing for having the courage to be yourself. I’m so sorry about the bully’s. Don’t let them get to you. Sending love!

stlgtrace I have read about Dorothy Kilgallen. Truly a tragic story. I wish we knew what really happened.

Thanks so much lovely!! It was a mega haul for sure lol!

SO many good finds! Loved the gloves!

I know what you mean, Marylin. One of the joys of travelling abroad (from the UK) is to scout for charity shops etc to find things which give you a good feel for the local culture. In Hamburg, I was amazed that I could only find one charity shop. (similar disappointments in Munich and Berlin) The only exciting thing was that chain of stores, Pic 'n Weight, but most of the stuff is from the 80s. But it was fun to look. Come to the UK, we have LOTS of charity shops and vintage fairs and the stuff is mostly affordable. Bring a big suitcase!

@peggy olson yes that's true! Stuff from the 80s or 90s are not so hard to find here in Hamburg and all over Germany. We have some flea markets around in the summer time mostly, there you can find some stuff but in other parts of Germany like Berlin, lower Saxony or in the Rhine Ruhr area you can find more antiques. I know that from friends of the vintage and rockabilly scene who live there. They can find more antique things at flea markets or in thrift stores.Sometimes they sell some of their findings via Facebook 😉 I really think because not all German people could afford a lot of special things after the war so there is more less to find nowadays especially fancy things, in different parts of the country yes but not everywhere. My whole furniture (only some parts are modern) I searched and bought all over Germany but they are not extrem very special things. Fancy Handbags or hats I always found and bought via the internet in the UK and USA or in some countries around Germany. Thank God for the big scene and a lot of vintage fans 😉But we have very good handcrafted reproductions of hats and jewelry or clothing also in German Mostly old things I found in Britain or in the US. Sadly because of the Brexit and the Customs duties that we must pay now again it is getting harder to buy 50s, 60s things via the web because prices increase now. So yes I think we should visit GB with a little truck one day... 😁😉 I love the British vintage style and we like to visit some British festivals in the future because I like England very much even if I wasn't there before 🙈But it is definitely on my to do list 😁

@@Marilyn473ify Yes, Brexit sucks!! Hate it!!

Yes! I’m excited to get sewing!

Make great pjs!!!!

Thank you!! Yes for sure. Thrifting is so good for our environment.

When someone's slip showed we would say " it's snowing down South"😊

Sue Brown, yep, the give away is the button hook, for high button shoes and the box with the hole in the lid. Women would brush their hair, then take the hair out of the brush and stuff it thru the hole in the box, when they had enough, they would use the strands to make "hair pictures" with, the strands were twisted together and sewn down on a piece of fabric. Some of the pictures were quite large and very beautiful, yeah, sounds kind of gruesome I guess, but during the Victorian era they showed how creative a woman could be!

LOL!! That is so cool, I have a few items from my Grandma. Clothes were made so much better back then!

Artsy Cupcake Yes indeed they were! And natural fabrics too - now I have difficulty finding anything that isn’t a polyester derivative 😧

Yes it’s so cute!!

Thanks so much! Ahh that’s so neat that you have her hats.

Yay!! That’s awesome! Congrats on your finds!

Thanks so much! Me too! So lucky!

Thank you! Yes! Thrifting is the best!

Yay! Thank you lovely!

Ahh thanks so much! I’m so glad.

Oh I’m so glad you enjoyed! Thanks so much!
