the vintageholic frog givaway!
this week we have a super giveaway from the vintageholic frog -- i just love all things vintage and i'm excited to have this shop featured this week.
blog | shop
win: $30 gift certificate!
What started your love for vintage? My mother is the reason I am obsessed with vintage. When I was little, she would take me with her to the thrift store at least twice a week. I looked forward to these trips because she would give me money to spend on anything I wanted and in the thrift store $5 could get me 10 books, a bag of plastic jewelry, and a board game- all this and I would still have some leftover pocket money!
As I grew up, I became aware of the beautiful Pyrex, the clip on earrings, the paint by numbers, and the books with worn covers. I started seeing thrift stores through my mom’s eyes and I was in love. My mom is still my favorite thrift store shopping companion- and I try to shop with her at least every other week.
What inspires you from day to day? Blogs! I honestly don’t know how I lived without them for so long. And pretty nail polish. I always feel more creative when my nails are bright and colorful.
You've had great success with your shop! Any advice for friends who are thinking of starting up their own shop: Do what you love. I think when you are passionate about your shop and products it motivates you to work harder and I’m a firm believer that hard work will always lead to success.
