We are two sisters in laws married to brothers. We are best friends and literally identical in our passion for all things vintage. Traveling together is a must as we are discovering new areas around the US to find our favorite goodies. Tremendous joy and elation is felt when we come across that little piece of vintage that someone had no clue about. Together we enjoy each others company as we share our passion and learn more everyday about the thing we love most...VINTAGE

Who got their Kicks on Route 66







We Know the Hollywood Story..But do you know the rest of the Story?
**********************************
Cyrus Avery used a little known trail from the California Gold Rush that ran through Oklahoma, as he drew plans for the route that would become Route 66. He was successful in his bid to have the new route pass through his home state. This route was designated U.S. Highway 66. On November 11, 1926 a bill was signed in Washington creating the American Highway System. Roads to carry a nation on the move, through hard times, war, and rebirth.
Route 66 would become the most celebrated and famous of these two-lanes.

Route 66 is uniquely American. There are a thousand stories of hope, heartbreak, love, hate, starting over, and new dreams found along the next bend of the highway we call the Mother Road. The story of Route 66 is our story;
No other culture has had the same type of love affair with the automobile, and few have had the wide-open spaces offered by the American West.
Route 66 became the twentieth century version of the Oregon Trail, the golden road to the promised land and has inspired our spirit ever since.

The VINTAGE BRIDE




Brides has worn everything in History from Grass skirts to togas...but the white dress rains supreme...
Through the many eras of the wedding dress, we find our favorite era being the 1950s. The gown during that time were predominately made of lace but there were so many different styles and designs. They were feminine, fun, and mostly romantic.
Boat neck styles were very common. Grace Kelley probably epitomized the 50s with her Priscilla of Boston Chantilly lace gown. After that, dresses really seemed to echo her style. These are a few of our favorite Bridal gowns that we have come across, altered or not and now have for sale on our Etsy site...
