Some people say vintage is an item that is over 20 years old. That sounds strange to most of us because 20 years ago was just yesterday! We have clothes, shoes, nic nacs over 20 years old right in our closets! Someday, all that junk will be antique...today its only vintage. :}
Vintage is cool and vintage is addictive. Everyone has the decade or style that appeals to them. Some only collect the 50's stuff; Elvis, James Dean, Marilyn Monroe. Some love the 60's; Beach Boys, Rolling Stones, Beatles. Me, I love it all!
Everytime I see a pill box hat from the 40's, I think of my grandma and everytime I hear a 50's album of George Jones, I think of my daddy. I have a picture of my mom in a petticoat that I love. When I'm lucky enough to acquire anything from the 19th century, I can feel that generation and their struggles and what that special brooch or book meant to them.
What is Vintage? Vintage is sentimental.
