She also says..."...I have appx. 5000 pieces of vintage clothing and accessories. I have anything from Civil War era, to the swinging 40's 50's, mod 60's, disco 70's and pink 80's. I have modern day designer labels. And of course let's not forget the accessories to go along with the clothing!"

Harriet of <a href=http://www.tastyvintage.com/> Tasty Vintage</a>

<center></center>

Harriet hails from the UK and is a long-time member of the VFG having served as Public Board Chairman, Board Member and now serving on the Board as Treasurer for the VFG.

Harriet says..."...I've been wearing vintage clothing for as long as I can remember, occasionally selling at festivals and to friends in my teens - but mainly buying (and buying, and buying…). I have a fairly large collection of vintage clothing which I began to try and condense a little by selling at online auction (hattysattic)..."

In the past several years she has opened her online store, tastyvintage.com and just last year opened her very own brick and mortar vintage clothing shop at 18-20 Rasen Lane in Lincoln.

This girl loves vintage, especially novelty prints, and says she cannot pin herself down to just one era because she loves it all!

Wow! So many actual b&m shops!

Harriet -- that Emerald green chiffon dress is to DIE for!

Sydney -- you'll have to let us know as SOON as you find a shop space! I'm rooting for you! (and hoping you have WAY less red tape than *I* am!)

And how did Susan & her museum escape my notice before now? Thanks for featuring her, Linda! I had no idea we had a museum curator in our midst -- I'll have to plan a stop when I go through Texas next year ;)

I apologize for the late check in but I have a KEY!! Yes, I have a key to Sydney's Vintage Clothing B&M store!! :singing:

I am proud to announce that sometime in late August you can visit Sydney's grand opening in Auburn, Alabama at 420 S Gay Street, a few doors down from the famous Amsterdam Cafe, for those of you that might be War Eagle fans and are familiar with the area. Otherwise if your in Atlanta or Birmingham, it is a short drive.

 

Sydney, I'm slow... I thought you were in southern Alabama. If you are close to Atlanta, I feel a road trip coming on!

A BIG congratulations to you and the new store!
