Happy Halloween!

We were so lucky to find this vintage Ben Cooper Mickey costume from the 70's for $3 at a thrift store!  I almost cried when I found it brand new, never opened, still in the original box!  Oliver is obsessed with Mickey Mouse so it was just meant to be that we found it!  He refused to wear the mask but was still adorable nonetheless.  Happy Halloween!

Customer Appreciation Photos

^This little cutie is named Jonah and his mommy recently purchased this vintage shirt (previously worn by Oliver) from me for Jonah's portraits and birthday party!  Jonah, you are very lucky to have a mommy who buys you vintage clothes!  You look awesome!

^This little cutie is Cohen and his mommy is a fellow VKC team member whom I did a trade with.  Remember the vintage cash register Oliver got for his birthday?  Well, Cohen got this adorable nautical shirt and the cutest overalls I've ever come across.  Oliver wore them several times but they were too short on him so it was time to pass them along to another cool kiddo who adores vintage (or should I say his mommy adores vintage?).  Cohen's mommy also sells cool vintage kids items at:http://www.etsy.com/people/babyshapes.

^And, this little beauty is named Avery.  Her mommy was the lucky winner of the giveaway I had last month!  She chose this kitty smock and bloomers and what can I say...  this outfit was made just for her!  It is PERFECT and I'm so glad that she was the winner!

Oliver really enjoyed flying on the airplane to go visit great grandpa and grandma!  It was wonderful to be in some cooler weather!  And Oliver was oh so happy to see his uncle b!  We learned right after arriving back home that great grandpa had a mild heart attack and had to have surgery shortly after we left.  He is recovering well and is already home in fact.  But, it made me very thankful for the time we were able to spend with each other since you just never know when it will be the last time.  :(
