My online vintage shop is located in beautiful Concord, North Carolina just outside of Charlotte. I *LOVE* vintage clothing. I fell in love with them when I was a little girl in the 1950's. My mother and I visited a thrift store one day. Standing in front of me were racks and racks of breathtaking 1950's formals! Rows of heavenly net, fabric flowers and yards and yards of flowing satin. I thought I was in *heaven* my eyes glazed over and my heart pounded as I walked through the clouds of poof. I giggled as I walked past them letting them brush off my fingertips and dreaming of my first dress. I never lost that feeling of wonder and love them today just as much as I did the first time I discovered them. I entered *The Vintage Zone* and never came back! I have been selling vintage clothing and antiques for over 30 years. I carry a full line of "Beautiful" vintage fashions from 1900 through to the 1980's (and what ever else I decide I just can't live without). If you lean towards the soft and feminine style of the 30'and 50's or the bright fun clothes of the 60's and 80's please check out my items, you may find just what you are dreaming of!
