First Post! ... An Introduction.

Helloooo out there! I've been trying to think of a good idea for a first post on this blog for about a week now, and I've decided I just need to stop thinking about it and do it!

So basically, this is a blog I've created for me (Simone) and Mary (my partner in crime and this blog) to showcase all of the fabulous stuff, vintage and otherwise, that we sell on etsy and ebay. It's also a place for us to post photos of vintage and antique things we think are beautiful and awesome, and to pontificate about the "good old days" that we never experienced ourselves.

A little about us: I am an artist and vintage seller living in Brooklyn, NY. Mary is a writer, artist, and vintage seller extraordinaire currently living in Philadelphia, PA. We both grew up in San Francisco, CA, and met while in high school. We both share a love of vintage that probably comes from Mary's mom, who owns a consignment store in San Francisco. I worked there throughout high school, and Mary has worked there probably since before she was of legal age to do so! I bought my first vintage dress there with my first paycheck and the obsession began.

Anyway, that was my little first post blurb. Now that that's over with, let's look at some photos!


Ladies Camping in England in the 1920s or 30s.


"Old Ladies Home" campsite from the turn of the century


A tattoo design from the 1920s. So cute!


1920s girls "eating" burgers on the beach. Such cute headscarves and outfits.

That's all for now. Thanks for looking, and we'll be back with listings soon!
