    LOL, Actually, the way I got into vintage DID have to do with my hippie days. I lived in a little town (50,000 people) in East Texas. They didn't have ANY places to buy hip clothes in 1968. So, I began to haunt GW. While there, I got sidetracked by all the lovely 30's clothes etc. I accumulated quite a big stockpile of clothes between my Jr. year and high school and my Senior year in college. So, to help pay for college, I sold my vintage finds to a Vintage Store in Dallas (can't think of the name..it's long gone). Oh, how I wish I had those clothes now!!!!!
    Yes, I did wake up one day and rub my eyes and see that the 70's were over and the 80's had passed. I was in a clothing time warp. Plus, I had been hired as a teacher in the mid 80's and had to buy all those boring teacher clothes. It was traumatic!!!!
    I shelved my love of vintage for the "teaching years"..no time to hunt. When I married Ray in 1999, I was suddenly free to indulge my passion to an excess!

  2. RVW Joey, 50,000 is not a little town, it is a CITY!! Think 5500 but close to the big cities. That's us.

    Thanks for everyone's help. This will be on auction starting tonight.
