twentyeight does Vintage.

It is my obvious love of clothing and accessories that led me to start twentyeight. I have been making crazy clothes and costumes for myself {and even my nieces and nephews} since as long as I can remember. And all of that energy just spills into everything I see.

Whenever I walk into a store, I have to brace myself. Clothes are my candy. And with this recent surge in popularity for vintage clothing, it's only natural that I extend my obsession to decades past.

I've always "borrowed" my mother's clothing and accessories. I'm constantly looking at old photos of her, and I can't help but reprimanded her for not keeping her dresses and jackets and blouses for me!

So, in attempts to "share" the items I've collected over the years, that I can't actually fit or have to many of, I've created 28Vintage. A new Etsy shop dedicated to vintage awesomeness.

Check it out: 28Vintage on Etsy

More items will be added as I continue to collect {and let go}.

it has begun.

I just joined Twitter.

I still don't know what I'm doing, but you should follow me anyway! And I'll follow you too!

Also, if you have any suggestions on how to use Twitter, let me know because I don't. I feel like an old, technologically challenged woman...
