...detail...
...fancy girl's dress...
...sweet baby dress - love the bows and ruffles...
...$3 estate sale prom dress...
...sweet little bed jacket...
...here are some more pretty details...
My favorite vintage store in Greensboro is Design Archives. I find lots of treasures there. The owner, Kit, is so wonderful and you can even shop on line.
Here is my little shopping assistant...
If you'd like to see more vintage prom dresses, Rachel Ashwell has put together a touring collection that will be visiting all of her Shabby Chic stores this summer. It looks SO lovely - wish that I could go see it! If you do, I'd love to hear about it.
I really miss being able to watch Shabby Chic on the style network. And it's been a long time since Miss Ashwell had a new book too. I need more! Too bad I don't live near a store, I would go see those gorgeous dresses.
Yours make me want to go to the thrift store right now!

What a wonderful collection! I'm totally drawn to the orange dresses in each post. Odd, because I'm really not an orange person. Ava is precious as usual. That child has got style!

I saw the collection in Austin Texas. They just opened their first location in Texas, so my daughter and I went July 4th. They were beautiful. If you get the opportunity to see them, don't miss it. Also, the shopping complex that Rachel Ashwell's shop is located in Austin is call the Domain. It is a fabulous shopping experience.
Smiles,
Carol
