100th SALE DAY...

I just got through sending this email to everyone on our email list... We want to thank all of our customers for making this possible...

..................................................................................

We are fast approaching our 100th sale and to celebrate this event, we are going to give our loyal customers in the US and Canada FREE SHIPPING and everyone else will receive HALF OFF SHIPPING for that one day only. So keep watching our shop for that 100th sale. This sale does not apply to HOLDS or SALE items.

.......................................................................................

We are amazed it only took 5 months for this to happen and we hope to get to our 200th sale in half the time!

Spring has Sprung...

Living in a rural area of Oregon has a lot of perks...no traffic, lots of retirees with vintage clothing and room for chickens.
The rain has finally let up and our chicken coop has been blessed with three new beginnings. The mama hen is so proud and little did she know that she was part of our experiment to see if we could put fertile eggs under her and have her hatch them (even though they were not her eggs). It worked for the first time in 5 years of having chickens we finally have ones that are native to our own chicken coop and not the grange or school's incubator. She is a great mom and we get to listen to the sweet little peeping chicks. My bet is at least two are going to be roosters. We hope not for our own sanity and well being , but we won't really know for a few more months...until then we will just enjoy the cuteness.

Vtg Safari Finds...

Vtg Safari Finds..., originally uploaded by vintage urban renewal.
So if last week was Sante Fe week @ vintageurbanrenewal then this week has to be safari week. Check out my photostream http://www.flickr.com/photos/vintageurbanrenewal/ to see all the upcoming items. As I was posting these photos it brought back memories of some of my favorite outback or adventure movies of the 80s - Crocodile Dundee- Man From Snowy River-Indiana Jones to name a few and of course all their many sequels. Not so much for the story plot but more for the great fashions. Let's face it that was when Banana Republic was still the store with the jeep coming out of the wall and you felt like you had just walked onto a movie set in Australia. The Limited also jumped on the band wagon with their version of safariwear called Outback Red. We're bringing it all back this week stronger than ever!

Coming this week to our shop...
