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

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!!

While Thrifting last week I found this lovely 70s wrap around skirt that actually fits! So to celebrate the find my photographer/husband Mark and I went out for a fun day in the park once again, except this time it was at Radnor Lake which was the first park we went to when we moved to Nashville Tennessee in 2004 and the picture of that old wood fence was ingrained in my mind. That may sound silly to some but we truly enjoyed the beautiful day spent outdoors.

When I was putting the outfit together I thought to myself since I'm ussually 15-20 degrees colder than most people I know I might want to wear a more chunky top + tights to keep warm. 

Have a great rest of the week everyone and until again.
