My 1980s frock chosen for the Saturday Blues Collection

After spending nearly five hours scouting around for pretty sceneries to take pictures of the dresses I will soon be listing on my etsy shop I came home to find out that my 1980s frock was chosen by Meadowview Vintage, who specializes in vintage, to be in this lovely collection. It made me smile and oddly enough I was no longer exhausted. Thank you Meadowview Vintage!

happy friday. add color to your life.

With spring officially two days away and spring cleaning tugging at us, here is some inspiration to help you welcome both with lots of color and cheer.


Martha's living room, owner and curator of Opendoor Studio.

They don't make them like this anymore (men, that is)

A series of events (more like two) earlier today led me to search for photography reminiscent of the times when men were still gentlemen; when common courtesy was the norm and not something to be debated. It's 2011 and I still wish the door to be held open for me by a man. I'm not saying that if you're some distance away from me I expect you to run and open the door for me. All I'm saying is that it's very nice to hold the door if I'm right behind you. That's all. Where has the chivalry gone?

Perhaps gifting the men in our lives with something from the past will help us retain the little chivalry that remains.

I picked out excellent vintage items from the 1940s-1980s on etsy. Click on each picture and it will automatically direct you to the etsy shop where you can purchase it from.
