Toast to Tosca--throwback thursday!!

So I've temporarily abandoned this blog--I started back up with school and I was trying to finish all the cataloging for the shop so I've just been busy busy. Anyway, I had a fun idea for this blog that would be a great way to tribute my shop to the owner of all these clothes!! I have these boards at my house that were made for the lady(Tosca) that passed away who's clothing I'm selling and on these boards are pictures taken of her in specific items that I'm selling. So as a little twist to throwback Thursday I'm going to share some ultra throwbacks! =) Not only will this be fun, but it will also help authenticate a few of the items in my shop as Vintage and give my customers a glimpse at the wonderful woman who took such great care of these pieces they are receiving.

Throwback Thursday #1

To find dress go to: https://www.etsy.com/listing/103546832/early-70s-vintage-one-arm-ruffled-black

What is amazing is that the slip she is wearing with the dress in that picture she kept on the hanger with the dress I have the dress and the slip for sale together as one item. =)

Treasury, The Beatles and a little history

I don't know how many of you are familiar with making treasuries on Etsy, but I know when I first started on Etsy I kept seeing all these treasuries and my question was: How do you make a treasury? I went through and taught myself, but boy it's harder than it looks to make a really good, Front page worthy treasury. I remember my first one I made back in November--it took me probably 2 hours (this was before I thought OH hello-'right click' 'copy link source') Anyways I was pretty proud of myself, but it didn't get a lot of attention right away because I didn't have many followers/wasn't part of any teams etc--then suddenly I started getting all these views and comments and people were saying things like "great fp" and I was like 'What is a FP??' I don't remember how I figured it out, but I went to the home page and WAHLAH- There was my name! So exciting!!I definitely wanted to make more, but the time was not working for me. ...

Pop up show, rebranding, class, throwback thursday, banner and logo

Happy December everyone! The first week of December is always the most hectic for me--being in school and now being part of an online sellers community it was extra crazy this year. I participated in my first pop-up show on 12/4 called "All Vintage Everything". It was fun, I got to meet other local vendors that sell vintage and I got a feel of how they do things and heard about some other great spots to sell my items! All in all a successful night I think. I am looking to redesign my brand a bit, I worked on a banner and logo last night when I was babysitting, it was a long process because I haven't edited images in a while. I started with an old black and white(also our throw back for this Thursday):  I actually have that dress from the late 40's--she had it in a teal(the one she's wearing) and a silver. Unfortunately the silver one got rusty from the metal on the sleeves. The teal one is in great condition it just needs to be dry cleaned and right now I'...
