Womens Vintage Retro and Unique Styled Hats

Ok, I have spoken about why you should consider buying vintage, vintage clothing, vintage purses, vintage shoes, and now I am showing you some yummy lovely vintage hats. I will say back in the day they sure wore the hats, had many different styles, some were simple, some had the veils, some were made puffy and big, and it is fun to see them all.

Above you will see a few pictures found that show some vintage hats, and if you visit the sites they go to you can also see a few more styles, and colors too. 

Some still collect vintage hats, and in fact last week I just picked up 3 from a local person who sells on ebay. They came from a grandmother's chest, they are adorable with the vintage vanity/dresser we have in our bedroom, and the lane cedar chest as well. I also have a vintage chair sitting in the corner as well with my grandmother's old lamp adorning the cedar chest. 

I do enjoy looking at some of the old hats, and adore thinking of the times that they were so popular and worn. Different styles, different brands, different materials, different colors, and they are amazing to view. Lovely with some of the vintage attire that was worn in that era too. 

Hope ya'll are having a great week so far. Happy Hump Day! Thanks for sharing some time with LilacsNDreams, and hope to see you again soon. Have a Happy Day!

Vintage Purses Handbags For Use and Collectibles too.

Your vintage attire of dresses, skirts, shirts, pants, and etc is not quite complete unless you add some accessories with it also. What better accessory to use than a vintage collectible purse handbag, right? Above is just a very few of them being noted to you. Upon a more extensive search you will see that they are still popular in todays times, and are often sought after by many people too. 

At Wikipedia I found this version for purses, handbags, and some vintage bags noted to everyone. A handbag, also a purse or pouch in American English is a handled medium to large bag that is often fashionably designed, typically used by women, to hold personal items such as wallet/coins, keys, a mobile phone, books, a pen and paper, cosmetics and jewelry, a hairbrush, contraceptives, or pepper spray. 

The term "purse" originally referred to a small bag holding coins. In British English it is still used to refer to a small coin bag. A "handbag" is a larger needed accessory that holds items beyond currency , such as a woman's personal items and emergency items to survive on. American English typically uses the terms "purse" and "handbag" interchangeably. The term "handbag" began to appear in the early 1900s. Initially, it was most often used to refer to men's hand luggage. Women's accessory bags grew larger and more complex during that period, and the term was attached to the women's accessory. Handbags are used as fashion accessories as well as functional ones. 

Like I tell many people I am carrying my mini suitcase with me, and it gets quite heavy at times too. I need my pens, notebook, wallet, checkbook, coupon organizer, address book, perfume, and in my zipper pouches of course some lipstick, lip liner, little mirror, some facial powder, and well....you know.....a mini suitcase. Only thing not in it is a change of clothes, and shoes.

Thanks so much for sharing your time with LilacsNDreams, and hope you enjoyed your vintage purses and handbags visit. Hope to see you again soon. Have a Happy Day!

Why You Should Buy Vintage

I know many of my postings I share have been mostly about diy projects, craft items, upcycling, repurposing, and so on. I honestly do like vintage as well, and just adore how some still like to dress from those times in todays times. 

There is really quite a bit of vintage items out there for us if we want to look for it, and have some fun with it too. There is vintage jewelry, clothing, furniture, patterns, home decor, dinnerware, glassware, kitchenwares, accessories, lighting, suitcases, travel trailers, cars, and so much more! I adore looking at pictures of those times, collecting a few pieces along the way, and believe it to still be a fun time to cherish too. 

While researching about vintage a little bit I had found a notation made about 7 reasons to buy vintage. Beware, a lot of the vintage things that get shown is with clothing. You just have to reword, and dig a little bit deeper to find a little bit of everything vintage. Anyway, those reasons I made a note of that I found are as follows:  

1) Vintage is Unique. 
     This is true really. If you were to buy some of the clothing you would not have to worry about wearing it, and having others duplicate what you have worn. 

2) Vintage has a positive environment impact. 
     Going green, saving items from the landfills, once in a while upcycling and repurposing some pieces to better fit with the times of today, and things like that. 

3) Vintage is the source of inspiration. 
     How true this is when you truly think about it. Sometimes in designing clothes, cars, home decor, and etc we refer to times past. From that time we sometimes use items from there as a model for us when we do things. 

4) Quality
     That old saying "they don't make things like they use to" How many times have we heard parents, grandparents, and some of our elders make this comment? In all reality things were made better back in those days, and of course that is how many of them have survived over time for us to cherish today. 

5) Vintage is an investment.
     For many people this is true. Right off the top of my mind I am thinking about car collections, how some like to collect toys that are vintage, art, home decor, furniture, etc. It truly is an investment as over time some items have obtained a value for their existence today.

6) Vintage has history. 
     This is so true! If only those walls could talk to us, and tell us everything, right? Like others I like to learn the past life of an item, how it was made, and the popularity of it back in the day too.

7) Celebrities wear vintage.
     Not only in the old movies that have been revised do they wear items then, but some like to wear it when they are at different functions for all to see. Hey, there truly is nothing wrong with that. It is kind of fun to see this done, and I applaud those who do this as well. 

Vintage is something that has seen, and already lived life. It has seen good times along with bad times too. Yet, many pieces have survived still looking good, and stylish today too. As mentioned before I think that the history of pieces is enjoyable too. Careful when shopping vintage because there are some new items that are made to look old, but are not vintage. That is fine because we sometimes cannot afford vintage, but make sure you know these things when making your lists and shopping. Vintage does not mean retro either. 

Shopping vintage can be overwhelming at times. It helps to make a general list of things you are looking for with maybe some small notations to clarify in your searches too.  Everything was made better back in the day, and you never know what treasure you just might uncover!

Thanks for sharing your time with LilacsNDreams about some vintage ideas. I look forward to seeing you again soon.
