I'm so excited! Vincent and I have opened a new Etsy shop just for men's clothing and accessories, and it's called MisterBibs ! (in honor of our kitty, Mr. Bibs!) We only have a few things stocked so far but we have lots of amazing menswear to list. Could we get some etsy love from you folks? http://www.etsy.com/shop/MisterBibs Also I'd like to add the VFG team tag to these listings, no problem with that, right? Oh, and it's such a joy having a partner now, who is really into vintage! We love working together. We do everything now as a team. ...The backstory, which some VFGers know: Vincent is my old true love of my life from when we were in our twenties. Life got complicated then, we lost touch, but we found each other again last Spring, after 17 years! on facebook! I thought he was living somewhere out on the west coast, but he was right here, he was 15 minutes from my shop and neither of us knew. We are getting married in 2 weeks!
Can't wait to check out your store - and congratulations! Being with the right person is the best feeling in the world.
Congrats How great you two have partnered in business as well! I think the men's shop is a great idea btw. I never dreamed of selling vintage men's clothing, had no idea there was such a market for it. Now I look through the men's racks before I hit the women's sections. I can relate! Met my guy as a teen - was best friends with his sister. I had a secret crush on him but didn't tell anyone. We met up again 20 yrs later and have been together almost 10 yrs now. Wishing you both tremendous success with the new shop
Fabulous news, Jen, so happy for both of you! It's nice to have a partner to share your love of vintage with!
Thank you all so much. I feel like my personal life and work life is all finally really falling into place - as if I'm, at last, doing exactly what I'm meant to be doing, in all aspects. I feel very fortunate.
That's SO romantic!!! Oh, I so happy for you two! What an amazing story of love . And your new shop is coming along swimmingly. I especially love that Indian Head Jacket; how cool!
Congrats and best wishes you love birds you! And heres wishing you great success with your new shop. melody
Jen, I'm very, very happy for you both!!!! Congratulations on your upcoming marriage and on your new Etsy shop. It looks great. Please tell us all about your special day - are you wearing the vintage dress you showed us when we all visited you in October? I don't think we got to meet Mr. Bibbs but I do remember meeting Vincent. Hope you will share photos from your wedding! Linn
