Well this is me! I am excited to start a blog and look forward to sharing my stories with the internet world.
I wanted to begin by explaining a little bit about myself. My name is Christina, and I am a young fogie. I am not quite 30 and feel as though I was born in the wrong decade. I'm pretty sure I have felt this way my whole life. I remember as a young girl (around the age of 4) looking at an old print of girls in dresses, and aprons wishing I was one of them. My mother was kind enough to put together an outfit for me, with a dress and apron, topped with a handkerchief on my head. I was thrilled to be dressed like one of the old fashioned little girls.
***I long to live in a world where girls wear dresses, and no one goes to Walmart in their pyjamas!
As I got older, I felt as though I wanted desperately to be a teenager from the 60's. I remember in grade 5 being on vacation in Cleveland with a school friend, who was uber cool for the early 1990's. We were in a shopping mall and I found a pair of saddle shoes. I was desperate for them. I remember buying them, and explaining that they were for Halloween. This was the first purchase of vintage inspired items that I made for my self. I still have those saddle shoes, and unfortunately, Halloween has been the only time I have had them on!
And can't wait to get started with this!
Enjoy!
