The Vintage Fashion Challenge - Throwback!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How far do we go back, #thevintagefashionchallenge? I went back to when I was around 30 years old. Which, for some of you hasn’t even happened yet. But, for me, that was back in 1998! I had been doing vintage for a few years by this stage. But this photo, taken at a wedding of a couple of my friends, shows me in what was, at the time, my prettiest dress - an evening gown. And since I don’t have a lot of photos of me back from this time (remember, back then we had to use actual cameras for photos and have them developed 😱), this is one of the earliest pics I have. How is that for a throwback @iliveinmylab, @makethislook, and @tinyangrycrafts? I’ll try and catch up to the challenge. I know I’m behind!

For #31daysofdeco, I peeked into one of my old blog posts and found these from an old tour I went on. Here I present #onebunkerhill, originally the Southern California Edison Company Building. In days past, the building glowed completely around the exterior, as would have befit the home of an electric company. I have several more of this building I think I’ll post this month.

The Vintage Fashion Challenge - You, in a Nutshell

For #thevintagefashionchallenge, I figured why do one photo challenge when you could do two? I’ll never be able to keep up, but I’ll give it the good old college try. Thank you @iliveinmylab, @makethislook, and @tinyangrycrafts for kicking me in the pants again to post!

Me, in a nutshell, is a vintage loving mama doing the best she can to raise an awesome boy. He already makes me proud every day. It’s not easy being a single mom, but he is worth everything.

I do vintage events when I can (but of course that has been nonexistent recently.) I love not only buying original vintage, but also taking vintage patterns and seeing how close I can get as I whip up new frocks. Lover of the ‘30s, shoes, and jewelry, I try and live my best life in my 1924 Storybook cottage.

For #31daysofdeco, I thought I would dust my old Instagram pics off and post some of the beautiful Art Deco gems in Los Angeles I’ve been fortunate enough to visit. Of course, here we have the #easterncolumbiabuilding, not of the famous clock tower, but a street view of the entrance. Scrolling through all my pics on my blog, I was having a hard time choosing.

@artdeco_la, what do you think I should post next? #showusyourartdeco #historicpreservation #thisplacematters

HAPPY NEW YEAR ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This yea

HAPPY NEW YEAR
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This year has been a challenging one, no doubt. And yet here we are, facing 2021 ahead of us. I wonder what shall it bring?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I hope to face it with positivity and enthusiasm. There will no doubt be bumps along the way. But there is the opportunity to grow, enlighten, and embrace the future. I have seen many people over the years say good riddance to the old year in hopes the new would be more positive. Every. Single. Year. While there is the possibility that, yes, tragedies befell them, the common denominator is...them. I don’t want to live my life, when I look back, as a series of regrets, negativity, and loss. So I want to approach this year with a positive attitude and, hopefully, next year when I look back, I won’t see it as a series of regrets and resentment.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So how will this year treat you?

Safer Santa wishes everyone a Merry Christmas and
