Theme Of The Week: A Vintage Life.

I've always been drawn to vintage. In high school, argyle v-necks and shinny wingtips were my fashion weapons of choice. I was basically a 17 year-old version of Kramer. I even got my hair permed! But that's a story for another day...

The infamous "Kramer" painting.

These days, my love for vintage is bordering on obsession. My apartment is filled with vintage treasures: office supplies, kitchen doodads and various off-the-wall furniture finds--many of which are still highly functional. To me, there's nothing better than vintage chrome, steel or faux wood. Give me something old...something with a story to tell.

The Fancy Lamb's "Vintage Addiction" -- Q & A with Half Pint Salvage

Normally, me and half-pint (aka, my boyfriend, Karl) refrain from talking about our Etsy shops, here at Featherette. But today, our friend Robin (aka, The Fancy Lamb), is interviewing Karl as part of her renewed "Addicted To Vintage" series.

If we listed all of our favorite vintage finds, this post might be 2 miles long. These are simply a few of our current faves. Although, we must say, the post office box doors may just be the most awesomest vintage find ever!
