Vintage.

My love affair with vintage items started with Antiques.

Lucky for me I live in New England and their are a plethora of Antique stores around. 

Recently I have branched off to many other items. 

It first started with vintage sheets for sewing/ craft projects, then home goods for decorating, and most recently vintage clothing. 

I love the idea of finding unique, well made ( in the US!) items. 

I find many of the children's items are age appropriate and simply adorable- all for a reasonable price. 

Here are a few things I have recently picked up for myself and Bristol: 

One thing to keep in mind with clothing is sizing. Most places on Etsy that sell vintage clothing give the garments measurements since sizes have changed.

Also, I find most places are very upfront about any wear or defect in the clothing they sell. 

Here are a few shops that sell a great variety of items: 

Kid Wonder

Sally Jane Vintage

Second Wind Vintage

I love that shopping this way you are supporting small businesses!

Here is B today wearing GAP skinny jeans, a thrifted plain pink onesie, and a vintage sweater. 

The only vintage thing I am wearing today are old GAP sweat pants from 10 years ago... not the cute kind of vintage ha. 

Hope you all are having a great weekend!
