Fanciful Foxglove | My Vintage Garden

My foxglove is flowering and gorgeous. It’s  a perennial but can act as a biennial So, I never know where it’ll pop up - and flower - in my garden. 

The squirrels and birds move the seeds around. So, it may be in one part of my garden one year, but show up in a new spot the next year (no flowers in the old spot.)

Then pop back up in its old place after that! It’s always a surprise. 

Hope you have a lovely weekend.

TGIVF │ Vintage Victorian Photo

When I went to Disneyland last week, the ride The Haunted Mansion was closed for renovations. The Haunted Mansion is a fun and spooky ride, and I missed all the music and merriment of "99 Happy Haunts."

But, I came across this beautiful Victorian photo via Facebook on the page "Historical Pictures." I love their page for all of the true vintage photos they post.

A recent picture they posted is of a woman in Victorian-era clothing. Hauntingly beautiful, and a perfect stand-in for missing a haunted house ride, this photo would be a lovely addition to any haunted house. She is a beauty.

Happy Friday and thank God it's vintage Friday (TGIVF). 


Mini Thrift Haul | Vintage Mug Alert

My two thrifting days are Tuesday and Thursday. 

Today’s little haul was nice; more of the usual things I love to sell like denim, belts, and bandanas.

But the mug… I had to get it - another one for my collection. Love her shape.

A Garden and a Library

I love this quote. 

The simple things are the best things. And I can’t imagine not gardening or reading for a fulfilled life. 

These two actions are a part of my everyday life.

I believe Cicero was right…

Vintage 1978 Military Coveralls │ Vintage Workwear

When I found these vintage military coveralls, I noted they were a size men’s small. 

That meant I could try them on (just because) and they might fit! (Men’s small are usually a perfect fit for me because I’m on the taller side).

So, naturally, I did, and they fit great.

Coveralls are back in style (you can find similar modern ones, especially for women, in stores now because of the resurgence of  “workwear”), but nothing beats the vintage ones.

The color, fade, patina… you can’t duplicate real true wear.
