Reware Vintage Blog

I’ve probably asked my friend Sean to model for RewareVintage.com a dozen times over the past year and he’s always said yes, but for some reason I dragged ass actually taking him up on it. Now that he’s moving to Las Vegas with his girlfriend (and one of my favorite people) Amanda in just over a week, I finally got my act together and brought clothing over to his place to shoot yesterday. It’s the first in several shoots I’ll be doing over the next month to begin to prepare for the holiday rush (and cold weather we can’t shoot in).

Thanks so much, Sean! I’m glad we finally did it!

If you want to check out the shoot and see a preview of new items being loaded up in the next couple weeks, check out the Flickr set!

Come on out the the WHFR record show this Saturday in Dearborn!  We’ll be selling record notebooks(I’m making sooo many new ones this week), record earrings and band T shirts! Check out my friend Care’s Glass Action booth too, chock full of pop culture glass work!

Wow! Last weekend was our favorite selling show of the year (besides the ones I help plan), the Royal Oak Antique and Garage Sale. It’s held in a big parking garage in the middle of downtown Royal Oak, and has been an annual event for 33 years! This was our third year selling, and was just as fun (and exhausting) as our past sales. This year we moved up 1/2 a floor, and had some great neighbors selling some fantastic vintage housewares.

This year was the first year that we actually packed up the entire stock of the website and brought it all, which was awesome to be able to do with my new Aztek! We had a number of friends stop by, and even some of our online shoppers and watchers! I even managed to do some shopping during a slow time, and picked up a couple fantastic vintage dresses from a new seller on the first floor.

Thanks so much for everyone who came, shopped and helped this weekend! And special thanks to the awesome organizers and volunteers who help make this such a great weekend for the vendors and shoppers!

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 occasionally look at their website just to see what they are up to, and usually I am pretty unimpressed by Torrid (the plus size shop by Hot Topic), but I’m really loving their “American Girl in Paris” collection!  Not sure about the quality, but this collection is cute, classic, and would really mix in well with a vintage wardrobe. Nice job, Torrid!
