Vintage Crimplene Suits and Being Swallowed Up By Dresses and Such!

suit4

After having recently acquired a fair few (crate sized) bags of vintage clothing - most of which I'm selling in my newly opened vintage shop  (obviously, I'm keeping some pieces for myself too, it's only fair) but now my house is turning into a warehouse; first it was just contained to the living room.......3 big vintage suitcases constricted and hid away my stock and that was just peachy! Now, however; I have dresses and jumper drying on hangers on the back of doors; boxes and bags clutterer the dining table and everywhere you turn........argh!
Piles of things to be repaired and revived; the stock seems to have grown and multiplied through from the living room, into the hallway and up the stairs. There doesn't seem to be a single corner or surface which doesn't have something waiting to be bought and loved. It's like we're slowly being swallowed up by dresses, coats and such. Gav has been very good about the clutter too - but I've a feeling his patience will wear thin in time - I know mine will. Who knew that running your own business from home could be so messy? I need to get organised - seriously quick!

We've a plan - we'll I've a plan anyway.......so hopefully soon, life and work will become slightly more separated. I hope.

This little vintage suit was one of my recent finds. A rather quirky 60's crimplene number. I actually have another one too, a blue one - but I prefer this green one if I'm honest, especially whilst posing in white gloves and a vintage hat: it helps you know. Although I like it, I'm not sure I care for it enough to keep it, or infact wear it, which would be a shame!

We'll see!

  3. i totally know how you feel! our place is over filled with vintage pieces ... that were actually sitting in our storage room just waiting to get repaired, to move back in my wardrobe or to be sold. sadly the owners of the storage building stopped the air conditioning system and everything got a little musty. i spent all my free time during the past 2 months with cleaning the content of 15 moving boxes filled with 40s, 50s, 60s clothes up to a bunch of modern vintage pieces. now there are three boxes waiting for next sunday's fashion flea market.

    good luck with your shop!!!! ...and your crimpelene suit suits you perfectly!
