The Happenings: Mighty Swell Weekend!

Thank you to everyone who came out to support us, and all the wonderful vendors at the Mighty Swell Sale today! We had a busy morning and an amazing turn out. Clothes were flying off the racks, the dressing room was hopping and the tunes were blasting from Girl Germs. A special thank you to Meghan and Rae for all their hard work. More goodies to be put out tomorrow!

The Shop: Frolic in these Fancy Frocks

More Mighty Swell sneak peeks! I can't believe the sale is less than a week away. Mark your calendars to get these looks and more this weekend, December 11-12 at Tarnish & Gold in NE Minneapolis. We are putting the finishing touches on our collection and are excited to be setting up shop with a group of great vintage vendors. Also check out High Plains Thrifter today for a Teacup Vintage featured post!

Background

Teacup Vintage was created by a duo of twenty-somethings who have shared 15 years of friendship. We have a love for all things vintage and child-friendly. Our adventures in vintage and thrifting started when we were wee tots and our grandmothers insisted on making all the dresses our moms couldn't find at the local thrift. We have fond memories of wearing those dresses (lovely little ladies with skinned knees), sitting criss-cross applesauce on hand crocheted afghans, wearing hundreds of "pearls", and sipping peppermint tea. When we were teenagers, we raided our mothers' closets and wore everything from hand-made 70's prom dresses to bell-bottoms (photos to come, you are in for a treat). We both went to University for education and continue to work with children as nannies and teachers. We love to write about vintage and handmade wares, children, tea parties, cooking, travel, and the big and small adventures in our everyday lives.
