A piece has a past...

One of the many reasons I love vintage is because of it's charm and the knowledge that there must be a story behind each piece. Like this lovely 1940's era WWII dress ( http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=27029617) ... did a dashing dame wear it to a fall wedding in 1949 while wearing bold red lipstick & issued out stockings? Who knows ? All I know is that is the charm & mystery of it all...

My first entry. Who will read this anyways? Other style/vintage/decorating/deal making obsessed girls like myself? I guess only time will tell. I have a feeling my husband Ryan may take a little while to get used to the fact that his wife is a blogger... if is that what I am to be called now? oh la la...
