| Introduction | Welcome! I am a 50 something vintage loving woman who is starting the next chapter of my life in a new town, with my first house. I am inspired by the style and romance of the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s, and am having a great time decorating my house and crafting using my vintage collectibles as inspiration. Although I am looking forward to the future, and believe that the best of my life is yet to come, starting over at my age can be scary. This blog is the story of those new adventures. |
