Selling...not buying for once! Antiques by the Bay in Alameda, 9/4/11

Sunday, I awoke at the ungodly hour of 3:45, so I could take the rollers out of my hair and leave San Jose by 4:30 to sell vintage clothes at Antiques by the Bay in Alameda.

A few months ago, my good friend Dorian married my "vintage cartel" consignor from the vintage shop I worked at. Mike Middleton is a guy I met at an estate sale (the only other person who would beat me to the clothes at 6AM!) and after talking to him for a while, he agreed to consign at the shop. Now the shop is closed, and he is selling at many flea markets and antique fairs. He really does have some of the best stuff around, as you will see from the photos.

Anywho...last month, and this month, I helped transport a fortune worth of vintage, as well as helped sell with them at Antiques by the Bay in Alameda. I cleaned out my closet and sold a couple of items, as well.

Good Rockin' Tonight...

My friend uploaded this video to youtube today...thought I would share this interesting documentary on the London Rockin' Scene circa mid 1980s.

Another public service announcement...

I have a few followers who I suspect have blogs, but I can not be certain. See, when I click on their profiles, it only tells me their bio and what sites they've started following recently. There is no link to their blog in their profile.

I believe, and I could be wrong (it happens occasionally) that you must add your blogger web address in a box that says "website", or something like that, in your profile.

Go figure it out so I can cyberstalk...or at least get to know you and leave pointless comments on your outfit posts.

How I spent my summer...and a gratuitous outfit post

First...the outfit. It seems that a lot of people like to post pics in their fabulous wardrobes, so here is a pic of me in a dress Frank bought me for Christmas last year. Black and white taffeta gingham, with black lucite buttons with rhinestones in them, and a dropped, pleated skirt from the mid-50s.

I know I have been bad about keeping up with all that I've been doing this summer. The truth is that I have not had much time for blogging. Between work and commitments with the Bombshells and my kids, there has not been much time to blog.

Aside from my trip to the UK, here is a brief recap of some of what I was doing this summer...
