Moire Taffeta 50s Dress with Heart Scatter Skirt

The Holidays are over. Valentine’s Day is soon to be. Spring is just around the corner. Still the weather keeps us guessing with it’s never ending twists and turns…then there’s monster waves, moaning and singing Earth tones, comets and shooting stars, shaking Earth and so much more to make us wonder at the times…  We could all do with a little normal these days….something to make us believe every thing is as it should be.

True vintage with it’s playful, treasured history gives us a steady, sure past, one we can believe in, one full of movie stars, silent films, cherished times when children played outside making stone and stick cities in the grass, blanket tents hanging from the clothesline, and dressing up in grannie’s and gramp’s old clothes….long before the days of electronics zooming around and in our heads like so many worried frenzied bugs and bees. Think real true vintage! Maybe a full skirt with a lovely sheer blouse, or a cotton dress with buttons and pockets and colorful twists and turns you can no longer find on new clothes these days. Oh sure, there are mass produced retro clothes, styled after the treasures of the past, but they are not the real thing. They only pretend to be inspirational, carrying no hidden love stories within their quiet threads. Come to Vintage Lucy and find a precious gift from times gone by, one that will drape you in past times when we could count on the beauty of a summer’s day and the chilly wind of a winter’s night, when our minds were free to wonder far away from time that moves too fast without care for our sweet souls so craving all we miss…find that comfort in true authentic, playful vintage, mix it up, dream of the “unique chic” on you, and bring back the magic of long afternoons when we were children playing dress up! All things true and wonderful will come back to you.

Welcome to Vintage Lucy.com! Just starting here with my new blog….so there may be some unexpected quirkiness until I get my sea legs. Please do stop by my eBay store and peruse the collection….there are new beauties added frequently, and now things should speed up some with my fancy new computer on board.

First, I wanted to say, when you’re buying vintage you may pay more per piece, but remember you’re paying for the “mystery history” and the charisma that history has brought to the piece, even if you don’t see it, and most often you don’t unless someone has added a cherished button or some other such momento. You are also paying for the loving search that went into seeking out the item, inspecting it for flaws and determining if the piece can be artfully saved and presented…this process takes a lot of creativity and experience in itself. You should be delighted to know that the vintage treasures you are looking at and considering in Vintage Lucy are all one-of-a-kind…not massed produced anymore, even if they ever were a long time ago. “Now” they are chosen and loved, each sweet item, by the presenter, me….hopefully, all presenters are vintage lovers as I surely am, but you will have to ascertain that for yourselves each time you try a new store or seller. So, these thoughts for your consideration…..next post I’ll rave about some fun we can all have modifying our looks by how we wear our vintage and what accessories we add. Many of you probably play around for those quirky looks already, but here we can share our ideas. You just can’t get intense fun like that and the mystery charisma when you’re buying new stuff! And….buying new stuff is not recycling, another added bonus to vintage buying!
