Welcome New Members: glasspanic, kentoncollectibles and fireflyvintage

Based out of Denver, Colorado, GlassPanic offers a lovely selection of vintage house wares and home décor including some nice silver serving pieces and Pyrex dishes. The shop is run by Amy and Jeff who describe themselves as “amateur vintage hunters.” “We love finding new pieces and love the history associated with each piece.”

KentonCollectibles has a little bit of everything a vintage collector could want. They specialize in antiques, oddities and hilarities with an emphasis on ephemera and machine age wonders. Also available is a beautiful selection of vintage jewelry including some fabulous rhinestone brooches. They are based out of Portland, OR and have a Brick & Mortar shop there as well.
FireflyVintage is a beautiful vintage clothing shop. On offer is a wide selection of women’s clothing as well as some men’s and children’s clothing. The women’s selection ranges from party dresses and career wear to beachwear and also include accessories and shoes. Rita’s passion for clothing started at a young age, “as a little girl, I used to beg my mother to save the beautiful dresses she wore for me. She would laugh and tell me I would never want ‘those old things’ when I was old enough to wear them. She never guessed that those lovely 1950's fashions would be one of my life's greatest passions!”

The Colors of Spring

After declaring honeysuckle pink the color of the year, Pantone has now come out with a complete palette for spring fashion. As usual, they had some fun naming the colors; coral rose is neither coral nor rose, but orange; and peapod—a muted greenish shade—looks more like a swimming pool than something you’d eat.

But enough of semantics. The vintage-loving fashionista can get in on the fun as well. Here are some lovely pieces in my five favorite colors from the Pantone 10.

For Holiday Parties, Go Vintage

It's that time of year--festive holiday parties, where everyone dresses to the nines, sips martinis, and flirts with someone they shouldn't. (OK, that's not my life, but someone lives that way, right?) This year, do it in style with vintage clothing and accessories. Here are just a few sample outfits; for more options, follow these links for vintage hats, dresses, shoes, and purses.
