Nice post! Thank you Sammy for your super cool website =) I am a vintage fan too.
But I have some questions:
1. Is it safe to buy vintage electronics? There are so many cool designed stuff that are not around anymore! Like hair rollers, lava lamps, turntables, radio and TV etc. They look futuristic even now!
2. Undergarment: How about bras, girdles, garters that are worn outside? The vintage underwear are well made and can’t be found today!
3. Vintage magazines:
I love love love the layout of the vintage magazines, but they make me sick too! Because all those weird mold, stains, unknown stuff on there…ew!

I have that exact crib in the picture. I bought it at a thrift store. No kidding – the exact one. Simplicity if I recall correctly, but not real sure on the brand. Anyway basically you just need to know current safety laws. No need to waste perfectly good things. For those who do pass up good things – more for those who dont. I even buy sheets used. I love high end design and no one would guess my sheets or anything I have is used. Ha. Little do my guests know they sleep on thrifted down pillows.

I am in love with 60s style swim wear, but haven’t purchased any because I just can’t get over being that close to someone else’s summer fun. Any idea where quality reproductions are available?

UH OH!!!! ;-) Well, perhaps that’s just a BIG write-off for tax season, Jake? xo

You forgot to add people to the list. I picked up my x-wife there and forgot to save the receipt. Needless to say it was the most expensive purchase I ever made, cost me half my house and half my bank account.
