Really like your storybook approach…it demonstrates the passion for vintage together with the stories behind each piece. I am always suspicious of vintage sellers who view it purely as a profit making business. Without the heart behind it there is only calculation not passion.

I buy beautiful items all over the world then put them on my lovely models (sometimes as young as 13 because of the tiny sizes) and exhibit my work in galleries.

Have a collection of about 200 vintage items from 1800 to 2000, thinking of forming a group of vintage lovers to share our great finds and unique pieces

This reads like a short story. It’s great! You really should see the off-Broadway play, LOVE LOSS AND WHAT I WORE. It’s written by Nora and Delia Ephron (Nora wrote SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE, WHEN HARRY MET SALLY, YOU’VE GOT MAIL, and JULIE & JULIA). I know you’re really busy, but you should also try to get in touch with Delia Ephron and tell her about what you do and your stories like this. Maybe she’ll incorporate you into the show as inspiration! Seriously—she’ll probably go for your story.

Wish I could’ve been there. It’s heartwarming to see that someone else in the world has a story to tell about each piece of their clothing. I’m the same way:) Thanks for sharing!
