Above the Boardwalk



As I'm sure you all know by now, I'm completely crazy about anything sailor inspired. I got this dress by doing my first ever vintage trade. The lovely gal I traded with is Maria with a wonderful shop on etsy, Adelaide Homesewn. Maria and I both traded sailor inspired dresses. What's so great about this dress, is that it first belonged to Maria's Moms! I love knowing the history behind vintage clothes. Maria doesn't have a blog, yet anyway. She really should because she's just a doll! So, go check out her shop and you're bound to fall in love with something! Thanks Marie, and Maria's Mom!

I hope everyone is having a nice weekend! It's cold and rainy here, so I plan on cuddling up by the fire and watching a good film!

Oh, and I'm having a 20% off sale in my shop all this weekend!
