Vintage Yard Sale!!

Ugg, moving, why are you so dreadful? It's actually not as bad as it has been in the past and I'm so proud of myself for getting rid of so much stuff. Which leads to the title of this post, Vintage Yard Sale! If you will be in the RI/Mass area on Saturday or Sunday, May 17-18, please do stop by. I promise it will be worth your while. It will be at my parents' house in Tiverton, RI. There will be lots and lots of clothes including vintage shoes, bags, dresses, coats, etc. Also lots of neat stuff from the 90's to the present that's just doesn't fit me anymore. Also fabric, art supplies, picture frames, etc. It pangs me to get rid of most of it, but I can't keep dragging it along with me, everywhere I go. It needs a new home.

I Wasn't Expecting This

So I started an etsy store a few days ago (fidgetfinds.etsy.com). I haven't announced it here yet because there's only a few things up and I wanted to wait until I did the big spring update. However, Agathe, from the famous Stylebytes bought this vintage faux Dior tennis bag that I had for sale. I was so excited and was hoping that she was going to post something about it on her blog and list my site. Well, she did but not quite in the way that I expected it. Read the article here.

Ch-ch-ch-changes

Sorry I haven't been posting very regularly lately, there's just a lot of changes going on in my life right now. But lots of new and exciting things are on the way! I am in the process of moving to a new apartment downtown, and changing up the shop (we will be moving to etsy). I am very excited about what the future has to hold and hope you'll come along with me for the ride. I'll be back to posting more often in a week or so and can't wait to show you what my new apartment looks like (hint: rooftop deck over looking downtown, the harbor, and newport bridge!) For now I'm packing and enjoying this absolutley wonderful weather! Be back soon!

Thrift Score

Went to a few thrift stores yesterday and today and picked up quite a few good finds. Total cost: $30.16.

Love these two skirts. The plaid is great and seeing as it's thin cotton it'll be great for summer even though it's chocolate brown. There's something about this floral print that I love. It's kinda a mix between vintage print and granny chic.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do with Ms. Purple here. I'll probably chop the top and shorten the hem to make a cool skirt. This bright floral dress is great but it's too big and too conservative. I've got to take it in and do something about the neckline. The tag is in the back so the zipper goes in front?

Some awsome fabric finds. The one on the left is really thick, perfect for some totes. The one in the middle is gorgeous! I'll have to make something classy and fitted. The one on the right is actually a very sack like dress, but I'm sure hope is not lost.
