Purpose of This Blog

Hello my name is Erica; I created this blog in order to help those of you who love vintage and pinup just like me. When I decided that I wanted to wear vintage clothing and use antique furniture I decided to go out and find places to buy them. At first it was hard because I didn't know where to start. But after a year of searching I have learned that high end boutiques aren't the only places with vintage treasures. I will be posting about the places I have visited, as well as the objects I have found there. As well as the clothing items I have that my mother and I sewed together. Oh and I live in Southern California so that is where most of the places are going to be located.

Family Treasures

Besides going out to buy antiques or making your own vintage clothing, there is another way you can come upon old treasure. That is through family, For instance some of my most valued items was passed down from my grandparents. Such as...
Photobucket

This Remington Rand Type writer, which still works and is valued around 50 bucks on the internet.
Photobucket

Or this jewelry box, which has a breath taking story behind it.

These treasures are the items that make me value each and every piece I come to own because everything has its own story. But what makes these different is it keeps me in touch with my family's history and I will never depart from them. Perhaps your ancestors have left your family with some treasures, I suggest for you all to charish them.
