What We Wore: In the Navy

Heather and I got together for a day of fun and took a few pictures. We were digging the sailor polka dot and stripe look in navy, white and ochre.
I wore a vintage navy and white polka dot shirt, urban outfitter shorts, woven oxfords and a thrifted red purse. Heather wore a vintage navy and white striped dress, woven flats and a tasseled purse from Morocco.

The Shop: Those Are Some Mighty Swell Shoes You Have There

We are gearing up for the our shop's debut at the Mighty Swell vintage pop-up holiday sale next weekend (December 11-12) at Tarnish and Gold in NE Minneapolis. We will be posting a few sneak peeks in the next two weeks, be sure to stop by the sale and snatch up your favorites! To kick it off (pun intended) I am starting with some lovely shoe previews.

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.
