Vintage is Me

 

     my closet defines my soul . . .  
                           it is me
love anything vintage
                        in blouses, dresses, jackets
       my own whimsical style . . . 
               in lovely soft materials
          pretty floral patterns
oh, divine are vintage black shoes and boots 
             purses and accessories
like earrings, necklaces, and bracelets
          and lets not forget lace
    gosh, so sublime is the touch
                inherited most of my collection
from great-grandma and grandma
          treasures from the past
                 that suit where I am in life
    but, I am always on the search for vintage
               clothing in thrift shops
                             to find
soft, delicate, feminine, lovely 
                               mysterious things

I love looking for antique dishes (have a nice collection) and furniture too, and can spend hours in the "Opportunity Shops" in my city, Constance
