About shopping in New York: the vintage stores i went to were a disappointment as most had a poor selection (and were not even vintage) and the prices were NOT low. Hopefully I can find better stores next time. I thought macys and century 21 would be way expensive, but they were not, so i recommend these places - go for quality! And look out for one day sales at macys. Shopping in New York, even in early December, is really chaotic and even the streets are way crowded, i'd rather avoid it, but the christmas displays and ambiance are wonderful - go here while xmas is still magic to you ;)

Letting vintage hats go to my head

My most recent Flickr set shows just a few of the Vintage Hats I had a chance to try on during the past several years. I have a big head* and I never thought I could wear hats, so imagine how happy I was to find out how many great hats don't have to fit down on your head! Now I can't possibly get enough!!

It's an Etsy world, and we just live in it, part 2: Seattle, mi amor

I was fortunate enough to grow up in Seattle, and even though I live just 285 miles away in Spokane, I haven't been back in over two years. Last time I was there it was sunny and rainy and I saw a double rainbow for over an hour; just another typically spectacular day.

I miss Seattle, and went looking on Etsy for images to remind me of home. I even miss slugs...a little.
