intro post

 Howdy! I'm Leigh Ann and this blog will serve as a peek into my vintage obsessed life and Vintage Stuff I Love in general. My husband and I are originally from Texas but have been living in southern California for 13 years. We live in a small ranch house built in 1952. Since moving in a few years ago I have been on a mission to decorate it will all things pre 60s. (Though the modern 5 year old couch, laptop and wide screen tv will have to stay!) I still have not talked the Hubby into investing in a 50s car, but maybe some day...

The era I focus on most is the early 50s but I do also love all this from the late Victorian era all the way through the mid century. I am crazy for vintage Asian kitsch...

Fiberglass shape lamps...

and of coarse 50s dresses...

 I have a AA degree in fashion design and sew about 60% of all my own clothing, the rest in the closet are mostly vintage. Most of my posts will be about my adventures in sewing. I also love to share thrift finds, retro beauty and hair styles, talk about my garden and post about recipes and cooking. 

My tiny cluttered sewing room with a pile of newly found vintage dresses all waiting to be photographed and sold in my Etsy shop. Pictures of the dresses to come shortly. ;)
