Welcome New Members: Dime Store Vintage, Bumber Stickers 'N More, Add Vintage and The Vintage Reader

 DimeStoreVintage who's motto is "Rescued Vintage to make you smile", has an eclectic mix of playful vintage items that are indeed reminiscent of an old fashioned dime store. Janis and Randy "have been rummaging through garages, back yards and even dumpsters (!) to bring ajunkin' pile of goodness for you to rescue and reuse." They are based out of Minnetonka, Minnesota and also have handmade wood signs and ampersands available. 




 Bumperstickersnmore Specializes in vintage bumper stickers but also features vintage books, maps and coloring books. As Debbie says in her profile: "Most of the cool old paper ephemera in my shop come from an old stash that I found in the upstairs attic of an old barn/workshop on a property I purchased a couple years ago. Lucky for me everything had been preserved just as it had been left in the eighties." You can take a virtual cross country road trip through her shop and remember vacations long past.


AddVintage is the duo of longtime friends Michele Piccolo and Yvonne Barineau. "We're vintage gals who love vintage stuff. Between the two of us we've been in the antique textile and embellishment business for over 25 years." Based out of Houston, Texas they specialize in vintage buttons but also feature cotton trim and lace, jewelry findings and other hard-to-find items.

Fresh Picks: So Sew!

Around this time every year, Mom began sewing my back-to-school dresses. Beginning in 7th grade, I created my own new fall outfits. Today my sewing machine is hidden in a dark closet corner, but seeing these fabulous vintage patterns and notions…I’m itching to go again. Even if you don’t sew, the addition of vintage buttons or trim gives a ho hum piece fresh vintage style!
