A big hello to Vintage Urban Renewal…

A well-stocked shop full of lots of vintage goodies. Those pictured above are some of my fall favorites from the shop (so wish I was a size 7 to fit those camel boots!). The shop not only has shoes and accessories, but also a wide range of clothes from a variety of eras. This poncho is great, this shirtdress amazing, and these gauchos are cool. I am sure you could easily find a few favorites for yourself!

Welcome fellow blogger Morgan who pens the blog Mama loves Papa.

She has got 3 boys and a little baby girl. It could be the opposite version of me, if I were to have a little boy, but we will find out soon enough won’t we?! She features the stylings of little ones in “Small Style“, she does “30 Items for 30 Days“, and just shares her various family adventures. Go on and check out Mama loves Papa and you may have another blog to add to your probably already long list!

Also, welcome to the blogging world Rae from An Eclectic Heap.

Rae’s (I want her red embroidered dress) delightful blog focuses on vintage, diy, vegan cooking, and daily life. Sounds like all the good things a good blog is made of! She frequently features outfits, tutorials, and delicious recipes. Also, she will be opening a shop with the darling name, Scarlet Cake Artistry. I can’t wait to see what goes inside!

Make sure to check out both Mama loves Papa and An Eclectic Heap!!!

Stop by Arrow Hwy…

Come by and visit Arrow Hwy, a little collection of vintage pretties curated by yours truly…

What does the name Arrow Hwy. mean? I first fell in love with vintage when I was in high school and my mom and I came across this vintage shop on Arrow Hwy. I loved all the furniture and the uniqueness of each piece. I particularly fell in love with a vanity set that I bugged and begged my mom to get me until she finally did. Funny thing is when she bought it and put it in my room, I didn’t sleep in my room for awhile cause I was a little afraid of “someone” coming along with. Eventually, I got over that fear and started sleeping in my room again and my collection of vintage (from furniture to clothes) has grown exponentially since then.

I am glad I finally bit the bullet and did it. I have been saying I was going to do it for awhile now, but kind of chicken (and maybe secretly wanting to keep everything). I have a few more shoes to put in, some pretty dresses, and a lot of vintage for men (stuff from Ben’s own collection, I told you once he has been collecting vintage from way back when), but it will all be coming in slowly. My goal is to put in a couple things a week, so I hope you enjoy for now!

Take a wander through Arrow Hwy…
