Midwest is best... for vintage!

I went to my favorite antique mall today. It was really exciting, because the last time I was here around Christmastime I didn't find anything! Vintage is so much easier to find here than the east coast. Being back in KC is like a treasure trove of vintage goodies...

Needless to say, today more than made up for my empty handed last visit!

Silk Panama scarf... this thing is HUGE! Like 40 inches square!

Nassau chiffon scarf, the graphics are so wonderful on this one...

Printed Rome scarf, gift for my bestie Morgan, she won't know, because she never reads my blog!

Shield/crests scarf, also silk, also huge...

It's really saturated in color, I really like how nautical it looks...

Navy airplane tie clip for Colin

Daisy sweater clips with pearl centers

Early fifties rayon dress in almost mint condition! It fits like a glove!

Pink and blue lamb planter. This little guy is really adorable, I can't wait to plant something in this!

2010, the year of the statement brooch

I went to one of my favorite antique malls today with my mom. I scored a few things for my boyfriend's very belated christmas package and two pretty awesome broaches for myself. Can I just say again, I HEART the vintage and prices in Kansas City. These two totaled $7.50 together.

I've decided to bring brooches and pins back. 2010, the year of the big, crazy, statement brooch.

That flower pin is about 4 1/2 inches wide. It's huge and amazing. The chess piece has little rhine stones in it. Pretty snazzy if I do say so myself. These little gems are going on my sweater tomorrow.

Maybe I'll have more to show off tomorrow than a sweater full of snazz. My parents and I are heading out to my all time favorite antique mall after lunch. I know. I just said I went to one of my favorites today. But this one is like the treasure chest of sweet sweet vintage deals. More details tomorrow. I'll make sure to take my camera to document the adventure.
