Port Huron, MI. A new venture.

This is the first post in what I hope to be a new and exciting direction for this blog. I can't dedicate full time to it yet, but I have plans to travel to little towns all over the US to write about what I experience and find vintage treasures. It's something I need to do for myself to experience what there is to offer out there, and this way I can spread it around for anyone to enjoy.

The first place I'm writing about is Port Huron, MI, which is only around an hour away from where I grew up. However, I hadn't taken a trip there since I was very little.
I set off on the road with a list of thrift stores in hand, ready to find anything I could. The best place I stopped at was a very tiny thrift store set on a dead end street off the main road. I tried on a handful of things but left with two 70's pieces that were too charming to pass up. It was just a quick day trip so there wasn't tons of time, but after thrifting my two travel buddies and I stopped to visit Lighthouse Park and took a quick swim and laid around for a bit.
I noticed Port Huron has a lot of dollar stores, and a lot of bowling alleys. I couldn't help but take note.

Now for the vintage finds -






I loved the ruffle on this 1970s skirt and how appropriate I felt tromping around in a field in it.

Claudia is wearing the blue 70's dress I picked up. It's ridiculously comfortable and we loved it with all the metal accessories.






Both of the items are up for sale in my shop, and I'm working on shooting a lookbook for the items I found on my southwest trip. I'm also planning trips to Toronto, Milwaukee, and Chicago in the next week and I'm very excited to hit the road again.

I hope you all like the first post! I can't wait to do more.
