Reware Vintage Blog

Thanks so much to Adrienne and Real Detroit for featuring our Prince T shirt in this weeks Real Detroit! Check out the photo shoot here!

I’m still recovering from last weekend! What a great time!

Friday and Sunday nights I had a great time hanging out with Sandhya at the Flair Boutique booth at Cityfest (formerly Tastefest) in Detroit. I had a lot of fun - and tried my best to help her out. I tried some really fantastic food when we had a quick opportunity to eat, and decided that Dan and I really need to hang out at this fair next year!

Saturday night was the Baar Bazaar, and my favorite one yet! Phil from the Magic Stick booked some rad bands (Bad Party, The Dead Bodies, and Deastro) and the DJ’s (Art Fag) playing in between sets were awesome! We had a great mix of vendors as always, selling anything and everything under the sun! The turnout was absolutely amazing and  everyone really seemed to have had a great time!

The new “Alley Deck” is now open outside of the Magic Stick and it is incredibly cool, too. It was a perfect night to sit outside and get some fresh air and a cheap drink, and it was packed all night! What a great new addition to the Majestic Complex!

You can see more pictures from the Baar Bazaar on our Flickr page, and on the Cement blog!

Thanks to everyone at the Magic Stick, Sandhya at Flair and everyone who came and supported all the local businesses involved at each event!!!

Have you noticed all the new items going up on rewarevintage.com this week? In case you haven’t, I’ve listed over 30 new items so far (and it’s only Wednesday!). I’m trying to get super-stocked up, as we’ve got a bunch of events coming up over the next few weeks that we’ll be selling at (check them out on the main page), plus Dan and I will be taking a road trip vacation for 5 days in July for my *gasp* 30th birthday.

Some of my favorites listed so far this week:

1984 Huey Lewis Tour Shirt - My favorite Huey Lewis shirt I’ve ever found!

Detroit Tigers T Shirt with some random guys name on the back in fuzzy iron on letters

Tote Bag I made from vintage fabric (there’ll be a whole bunch of these in different fabrics later this summer)

and Record Pins - an ingenious idea of Dans!

And there is soooo much more - shop around and see!

Last night at Club Red Thursdays in Ferndale, my friend (and selling neighbor for the night) Phil recognized a group of guys checking out our stuff for sale as the band The Whigs. They were playing that night at the Magic Bag which is also in Ferndale, and had decided to take a walk and explore the downtown area!

They were a really nice guys, and it was cool to talk with them for a while! Tim and Julian from the band, and their friend Matt bought a few vintage T shirts from me (and may I say, “Great choices!”) and were nice enough to let me take their picture for the blog!

Yesterday Anna and I had plans to go to downtown Detroit to do a photo shoot for the website with her friend (and new model) Roxy. Unfortunately, it started raining just 20 minutes before we were going to meet up and didn’t stop all day. Anna had the brilliant idea of going to the parking structure at Somerset mall instead - we’d be sheltered from the rain, but would still get good light. It worked out great, and the shots turned out really good! There was cute little bird that hung out with us most of the time in the structure and stairway, just following us around and sitting pretty for a few pictures! Afterwards we went to Bo’s Brewery in Pontiac for dinner and drinks, and some fairly unimpressive service.

There are a ton of new items going up this summer - get a glimpse at the first of them on the new Flickr page from this shoot!
