Sunshine Alley

Today I thought I’d post about a brand I pretty much know nothing about – Sunshine Alley. I’ve found a number of their dresses over the years, all from the 70′s and 80′s. Unfortunately, I’ve never been able to find out any information on the brand! Some of my favorites we’ve had over the years [...]

Basse Mode

There’s a new magazine in the works that I am very excited to see launch, called Basse Mode. Their mission statement says it all – “Basse Mode is a magazine about what real women wear, feel and believe.” As I’ve operated Reware Vintage over the years, I’ve always strived to provide fashionable choices for ALL [...]

Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band

Bob Seger is a Michigan icon (and had one of the best beards in world history), and in my opinion if you’re gonna own a vintageĀ  Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band T shirt it’d better be from a show in Detroit. This shirt is from the band’s 7 night sold out show at [...]

Parties and Beer x 2

Wow, what a weekend! Friday night was Care’s baby shower, and it was the best time I’ve ever had at a baby shower! Unfortunately, I forgot to take ANY pictures at all, but I managed to steal this pic from Care’s Facebook page to show you the GREAT vintage dress that Care wore. Love it! [...]

What to do in Seattle?

I’m really excited to be going to Seattle next month with Dan!!! We’ll have a few days together to wander the city, and then I’ll be on my own for a few days while he is in conferences. We’ve never been to Seattle before, so I’m hoping you can tell me some “essential Seattle” and [...]

File These Under WTF

No, not THAT kind of vibrator, but I couldn’t help but laugh at it anyway. It looked like a dead animal inside the box. Scary. Apparently tray liners were considered artwork by somebody in 2001, and this thrift store agreed. All from thrift stores in Metro Detroit last weekend.

RIP Dinger

You and Duckie were my movie crushes when I was little.

Sonic Youth – Confusion is Sex T Shirt

One of Dan’s favorites, this shirt is in the “archive” (i.e. sealed up in storage in the basement). As a big Sonic Youth fan, Dan was really excited when I found this shirt at a garage sale for him years ago. Confusion is Sex was Sonic Youth’s first album and came out in 1983, but [...]

Thrifting/Hunting/Estate Sale-ing

I was so excited this weekend to go to an estate sale of a former Herman Miller executive! The house and furniture throughout were AMAZING (and completely out of my budget). I managed to grab some quick pictures, though! Sales awards he had won in 1979 and 1980. I did however, get some stuff that [...]
