http://archiviavintage.blogspot.com/

Since I am not a large vintage seller I mostly intend to use this blog as a valuable resource for vintage sellers and collectors alike, using my knowledge of 28 years of collecting and researching vintage clothing and furs, one that I can edit and add to on my own at will (I hope I… Continue

OH Lucrezia ... Oh no you Didn't????????? The poison ring that kept on killing.. ( Really)

Lucrezia Borgia was a beauty but she really was quite the devious enemy when she needed to be... Sometimes I think that mean gene never died and still exists (I saying this with love from past experiences with people) .. BUT, getting back to old Lucrezia .....

Trash to Treasure- This is really a treasure!!

I couldn’t sleep at all last night. Ideas were racing through my head. This antique bronze from an old light fixture has been calling out to me. It just wants to be a canopy over a little girl’s bed. Just picture this…wide, faded, vintage ribbon, spaced around the circle, pulled up and attached to the ceiling. Sheer, gauzy, fabric attached to the tiny holes at the base, draped over the bed. Leaded glass drops dangling randomly beneath the cherubs… Continue

I will gladly post whatever information or suggestions I find so all can benefit.

So my question is - How do you dress in vintage when you feel like everything you find is small… Continue

~Our Collections of Vintage Timekeepers~

There is just something about the ticking of a wind up alarm clock that brings me back to my Grandma's house in my younger years.

My parents would put us down to have a nap in Grandma and Grandpa's room. Being a hyperactive child, I did not do naps. The only comforting sounds was the tick tock of the clock on the bedside table as the other children napped.

Here are three of the clocks that are part of my collection.............
