Vintage Attic

Lately, I've been looking back with amazement at all the emotional, physical, spiritual and--let's not forget--technological changes the world and I have been through.
After all, I grew up without computers, when a phone call or a jukebox song was a dime, when Disco was king, when gossiping with your friends happened face to face, and when a notebook, pen, and a good book were the best entertainment.
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, to bastardize Dickens. We also had the energy crisis, Watergate, bad hair, bell-bottoms, Queen and Twisted Sister.
 But you never had to answer a demanding cell phone at all hours, check emails, or go online to find your friends.
I guess I've lived through a lot. *endearing smirk*

Luv! Luv! Luv! this piece. 
Ever drawn to vintage pieces...this one must take its rightful place in my jewelry box. 
Imagine the surprise when the whimsical word is revealed to its admirer.....

I Dream in Vintage




I awoke this morning with 'vintage' on my mind.  Can't explain, but I'm going to definitely run with this yummy idea...

Here we go...

Little Bit More Vintage...Wedding







 {via}::special thanx


Luv these pictures of a gatsby-themed wedding.  The vintage-styled fashion , throwback bottle labels, and the autos...
The hair is simple but fun.  Ladies were ladies and men, men.  Makeup was minimal and alluring.

The gatsby era must have made getting dressed fun.
