Summer Is Almost Here!

Well its been a while since I last blogged, shame on me! I have been so busy thrifting, listing and more thrifting, whats a girl to do?
So far our weather here in the mountains of PA has been cool, damp with some sunny bright days and oh yes we did have a heat wave, 84 degrees. I love when its in the 70's here, not hot nor cold but just right! Great to go to garage sales, auctions, flea markets and more.

I opened an eBay store in April and I must say I am getting a little happy with eBay. I stopped selling there about 2 years ago or more as I didn't like where they were going. Now they are doing better and better, they still have their share of disgruntle folks who complain about everything, but somehow eBay is better than most venues and etsy takes 2nd place, well for me that is.

On etsy I can only sell vintage and a lot of my clothing is not vintage so where do I sell it? I tried ecrater, but alas its deader than a doornail over there. Sure every so often I get a sale but not enough to put my clothing, so I decided its time to go back to my first roots. Yes eBay is where I started in 2005.

I now have a new store, changed my old name to backstreetstyle. My store is located here in case you want to take a peep!

Starting Out in Vintage Fashions!

Well I am finally taking the plunge. Been wanting to do it for a long time and that is to sell vintage clothing. I opened a Ruby Plaza Shop and have been adding vintage clothes for the past few months, been a little slow at it as I am finding time to be a problem.

I love vintage clothes whether from the 1700's to the 1900's. I find then romantic, enchanting, lovely and just cute! My growing up years were when I reached 17, so I can say the clothes of the 70's to the 80's were when I appreciated fashion. The 50's and early 60's, my mom dressed me, and not bad at all, she was fashionable and dressed my sister and I on a very tight budget with a lot of hand-me-downs which she altered and made to fit.

I have never lost that concept since today I buy vintage clothing at the thrift stores, auctions and wherever I can find them. I love wearing them and now I love to sell to those who have a desire for vintage clothes.

Since I am a beginner there have been challenges to purchase, many mistakes and probably will be more. I will share some of the clothing I started with, they are cute, different and very wearable!

You can find some of these pictured at my Ruby Plaza Shop here!
