An Avalanche of Vintage purses, Clothes, Shoes Finds in Nashville Tennessee

Vintage purse needle point and more

I just discovered years of vintage dresses, skirts, blouses, sweaters, shoes, hats and much more. Word of mouth got to their family members that I would be interested in buying some of the vintage clothing from not one but three sisters each with a very different sense of style. For the record the ladies did not believe on throwing anything away. While riffling through the mountainous terrain of cloth meet threads, buttons and zippers I found pieces right in line with spring, fall and summer’s hottest trends from the ‘30s, ‘40s, ‘50s, ‘60s, ‘70s, ‘80s, ‘90s and I could only describe the clothes as an avalanche of wearable.

As an Etsy-obsessed as I am, I will be sharing some these beautiful finds once they are washed, soaked and ironed and at times steam cleaned before they will go on Etsy. So wish me luck!


And yes there’s more……………

Ahh…the light at the end of the tunnel. It was great to know it wasn’t a train. It did though lead to an amazing bridge scene. Soon this scene would take on a much more ominous appearance as the sun disappeared and the clouds quickly rolled in. An unexpected storm approaching!

So as we make our way for a snapshot on the bridge the dark comes on fast… as if the bridge was angry for us being there. But thanks to my quick photographer husband we managed to get the lucky shot right before total darkness set in. Then it was a total rush back to the car before the bottom of the sky fell out.

Last but not least today is my Birthday and I’m 33 years old!!
