Though we love vintage clothing and accessories our hearts are really into vintage patterns and notions. So in order to take our shop in a different direction what better way than to have a sale offering vintage clothing and accessories for $5 plus shipping?<br />
<br />
Of course we offer combined shipping and are glad to do so. We'd rather offer bargains on items in great condition to our vintage loving friends than simply store our vintage finds away.<br />
<br />
So come take a look at what we have to offer before it's all gone!<br />

Oh My!Back in the day when women couldn't find exactly what they wanted fashion wise or just flat out could not afford their champagne taste on a beer budget, they sewed. There were wonderful fabrics out there just waiting to be scooped up and turned into Pucciesque dresses and gowns. Women also made drapes, covers for their couches, dresses for their daughters, suits for their sons and even clothing for their husbands or boyfriends.
While there are definitely women that sew in these times quite often it's difficult to make the time to do so and many women opt to have something made utilizing vintage patterns to get exactly what they want.<br><br>
So regardless of whether it was back in the day or now, vintage patterns offer you the look you want now but can't always find ready made. So whether you are a home seamstress or have a shop of your own making custom clothing don't forget to check out the great vintage pattern selection at <a href="http://www.modmarysvintage.com"><b>Mod Marys Vintage</b><br><br>

<span style="color: black;"> </span><span style="color: black;">It was perfect. The cut of the</span><span style="color: #cc0000;"> </span><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/167996368/vintage-1950s-gloria-swanson-black?ref=shop_home_active_37"><strong><span style="color: #cc0000;">dress</span></strong></a><span style="color: black;"> was demure enough to pass muster with her parents but the figure hugging style was daring enough to turn up the heat under her slow moving boyfriend. They'd been going steady for 3 years now and she was looking for a commitment sooner rather than later. After all, at age 21 life was passing her by and she was ready for some excitement.<br /><br />She looked one last time in the mirror making sure her lacy slip, garters and nylons were unable to be detected and wondered whether he'd even notice how sexy she looked. With a sigh she put on her coat and picked up her purse. Shortly thereafter she heard a knock at the door and her father saying, "She should be down in just a minute. Diana, Bob is here."<br /><br />Ever the gentleman, Bob opened the door for Diana and then they took off. They spoke of the everyday mundane things they always talked about. Diana wondered if Bob would ever realize how much she loved him. It seemed the ride to the movie theatre was taking forever tonight. When Bob passed the theatre without a backward glance Diana wondered what was going on. The movies and a quick bite to eat at the diner afterwards had been their Saturday night date for three years running.<br /><br />Bob kept driving, wondering when Diana was going to ask where they were going. Half an hour later they crossed the </span><a href="http://www.dingmansbridge.com/"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><strong><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Dingmans</span> Ferry Bridge</strong> </span></a><span style="color: black;">and headed down Route 209. Now Diana was really wondering what was up. It was dark with the Delaware River to the right side of the road and nothing but forest on the left side. Diana was starting to get scared. Bob was so quiet you could hear the beat of his and Diana's hearts.<br /><br />After 30 minutes of travel on Route 209 they reached the little town of<strong> </strong></span><a href="http://www.pikechamber.com/"><strong><span style="color: #cc0000;">Milford</span></strong></a><span style="color: black;">. Diana started to ask Bob where they were going but he put his finger to his lips as if to say "just wait, be patient" and Diana complied. Bob stopped the car and he opened Diana's door and brought her to the front door of a home. Just prior to ringing the bell Bob said, "We've done the same thing every Saturday night for three years. I think it's time we took the next step in our relationship." All Diana could think was that Bob had lost his mind.<br /><br />Bob rang the bell and a man answered the door. "Come right in!" the man exclaimed. "You're right on time." Sheepishly Bob then said to Diana, "It's time to take the final step Diana. I got my selective service notice last week and I have to report toFort Dix in a week. I'd rather leave a wife behind than a girlfriend. Are you ready for a little excitement?"<br /><br />With that Bob got down on one knee and placed an engagement ring on Diana's hand and showed her the matching wedding rings he had so carefully picked out. Diana was floored. It was true that they had been seeing each other for a long time and she had wished for some excitement but never in her wildest dreams had she imagined Bob was a romantic under that steady solid exterior.<br /><br />Throwing chance to the wind Diana wed her Bob that night in a whirlwind</span><a href="http://www.poconosbest.com/weddingsrg.htm"><span style="color: black;"><strong> <span style="color: #cc0000;">justice of the peace</span></strong></span><span style="color: #cc0000;"> </span></a><span style="color: black;">service. The newlyweds spent the next several days and nights at </span><a href="http://www.babblingbrookcottages.net/"><strong><span style="color: #cc0000;">Babbling Brook Cottages</span></strong></a><span style="color: black;"><strong> </strong>in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Dingmans</span> Ferry. After several days they headed back over the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Dingmans</span> Ferry bridge to face the music. Like the good kids they were they had called their parents to let them know they were okay but no more.<br /><br />Just outside her parent's home Diana looked at her new husband and thought, "I wonder if Mom and Dad are ready for some excitement?"</span><br />

<div>
<span style="color: black;">Working steadily she had managed to clear 4 closets of their assorted junk. She had piles of report cards, band concert flyers and assorted birthday and anniversary cards her parents had saved over the years. The clothing had been dispatched to a large contractors garbage bag and was in the back of her car ready to be donated.</span></div>
<br />
<div>
<br />
<span style="color: black;">She just had one more closet to check out and then she could make her trip to the clothing bins and get rid of 50 years of stuff that neither she or her siblings wanted or needed. They all knew that this day would come and had dreaded it for their parents had been proverbial packrats, saving everything and anything, afraid to part with memories from the past. She just didn't understand the point in saving all this "stuff." Better to donate it and be done with it. </span></div>
<br />
<div>
<br />
<span style="color: black;">She decided to gear herself up with a cup of strong black coffee and sneak a cigarette. Memories of puffing away in front of her mother who was horrified by this first sign of rebellion spread through her brain. She'd been an obedient child and teenager, a wind-up child, who was wound up every morning and performed as expected. </span></div>
<br />
<div>
<span style="color: black;"></span></div>
<br />
<div>
<span style="color: black;">Then she started college and picked up smoking, more for effect and to piss off her mother, trying to shake up the calm her mother always projected. When low on funds from her part time job she strategically placed an ad from the local paper advertising payment for blood donations and the next day found a 20 dollar bill in her wallet. She knew her mom had placed it there, not wanting her daughter to sell her blood for cash.</span></div>
<br />
<div>
<br />
<span style="color: black;">Coffee and smoke break over, she sighed and attacked that last closet. This had always been the forbidden closet, the one her mother kept under lock and key. She never understood what could have been so important that it had to be locked away, but knowing her mom for the mundane slightly overweight woman she was, it never crossed her mind to jimmy the lock and check things out. </span></div>
<br />
<div>
<br />
<span style="color: black;">She found the key for the closet in her mother's jewelry box, buried deep beneath her mother's costume jewelry. She inserted the key in the closet and opened the door. Inside she found garment bags filled with clothing that would have made Twiggy ooh and ahh with delight. Paisleys, brocades, silks, chiffons and crepes from the 1960s cut expertly to show off a beautiful young figure. </span></div>
<br />
<div>
<br />
<span style="color: #333333;">But of all the beautiful dresses contained in her mother's secret closet, she could not help but fall in love with the most stark of all. </span><span style="color: black;">It was a</span><span style="color: #009900;"> <strong><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/155297540/vintage-1960s-leon-haskins-cream-and"><span style="color: #006600;"><span style="color: #3333ff;">1960s Leon Haskin cream and black crepe cocktail dres</span>s</span></a></strong></span><span style="color: #006600;">.</span> <span style="color: #333333;">It was a simply cut cocktail dress, but oh the gorgeous shirred cream crepe at the bodice shoulder and lower dress was just delicious. Carefully she slipped the dress on for she had managed to keep her figure while her mother had not. The dress fit like a second skin and made the most of her curves. She wondered how her mother had found this fabulous dress and what occasion she had worn it for. </span></div>
<br />
<div>
<br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Unfortunately when she had asked her mother about her life before her marriage to her father, her mother had never offered more than a perfunctory "well now that's not important and what's important is the future." </span></div>
<br />
<div>
<br />
<span style="color: #333333;">So she never knew that her mother modeled for her living in Melbourne and had been the toast of the town for several years running. It was on a fashion shoot that her mother had met her father, a gofer for the fashion photographer handling the shoot. Their passion had ignited after just hours and in a matter of days they were wed. She left Melbourne for the simple life in Des Moines, Iowa where her husband went back to work at the family business making pork rinds after his photography career fizzled.</span></div>
<br />
<div>
<br />
<span style="color: #333333;">"Oh well", she thought, "Time to get down to business. I'll just keep this one dress since it would be a sin to waste it and donate the rest." And so the paisleys, brocades, chiffons and crepes went into the contractor garbage bag ready to be sent to the nearest thrift store. </span></div>
<br />
<div>
<span style="color: #333333;"></span></div>

<br />
While it's sad in a way, I've found that selling vintage clothing is no longer fun for me and has become a drain on the family finances. So I decided to close up shop.<br />
<br />
I'd just like to take a moment to say thank you to all my past customers, many of whom have become friends.<br />
<br />
I'd also like to say thank you to a few people such as Dexterdoggie, Chapeaunoir and Daniel from the eBay vintage board as well as the kind ladies and gentlemen from the Vintage Fashion Guild including but not limited to Jonathan Walford. I learned to research vintage clothing and accessories while reading your helpful posts. I also learned the value of doing one's own research rather than just expecting to be spoon fed answers. Any research I did on my own is knowledge that I'll never lose because I had to work hard for it.<br />
<br />
This also marks the end of this blog since it was intrinsically about playing dressup all day long with vintage. I may yet start another blog about life in general and if so I'll post a link here. <br />
<br />
So vintage community I thank you for the memories. I also thank you for bringing me a special friendship with Chris Moore of <a href="http://www.rubylane.com/shop/alleycatvintage"><b>Alley Cat Vintage</b></a>.Marge, Mod Mary's Vintagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00987419772389129033noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35462428.post-76002036454489207042012-11-21T03:53:00.001-08:002012-11-21T03:53:56.820-08:00Making it easier to shop!

She'd never really pushed her limits, but now was the time. She was detail oriented and everything she needed had been laid out the night before. Hat, gloves, purse, shoes, dress with matching coat and of course her unmentionables were all lined up and just waiting for her to get dressed. At her mother's behest she agreed to borrow her mother's choker length necklace of Mikimoto pearls to top off her outfit.<br />
<br />
To some, the iridescent blue hopsack dress and matching coat was a bit too modern but she had fallen in love with the sleek professional look the outfit leant to her and once she saw the fabulous lining of the coat she was hooked. She was an artist and the colors in the lining spoke to her, but art would not pay the bills and so she pushed that to the side to enter the world of Washington, D.C. amid many other young women looking for a government job that would provide a steady income while they waited for life to present them with their one true love.<br />
<br />
"Well no use dragging this on and on," she thought. She readied herself, checking herself in her bedroom mirror to make sure she had not missed anything. Her mother wished her well and she walked to the center of town where she boarded the bus heading to Washington.
She had several interviews that day and all went as well as could be expected. While waiting in the various offices of the capital, she saw that what she thought was so fashion forward was anything but. Compared to the other girls waiting for their own interviews, she looked older than her years and small town chic. Her credentials were top notch, however, for the fast pace of Washington she was just too old fashioned for anyone to take notice. The repetition of the closing comment "we'll be in touch but if you receive an offer from someone else I'd advise taking it" left her feeling drained and frustrated.<br />
<br />
She boarded the bus to come back home, discouraged and wondering where life would take her. Pondering her future and not liking the direction it was heading, she didn't hear him at first. He repeated himself saying, "Would you mind if I sat next to you? There are no other seats on the bus available." She looked up into the eyes of a rather gallant young man, with dark brown hair, deep brown eyes and a bluish 5 o'clock shadow. He rather looked like a hoodlum, but he was dressed in a gray sharkskin suit that fit him perfectly. What caught her eye was his colorful pocket square and rather rakish silk tie.
She said, "Of course." He sat down and he noticed she was staring at his necktie. He looked back at her and said, "I know the tie stands out, but I just have to show a little bit of what's really me when I go on these interviews. I'm really a silk artist and I painted this tie and pocket square, but you have to pay the bills so on goes the suit for interviews." She smiled and shyly unbuttoned her coat and showed him the lining. "I'm an artist as well, but it doesn't pay the bills so I've just come back from Washington after a round of unsuccessful interviews today. I just had to have a bit of color, but of course I'm not as bold as you are."<br />
<br />
They continued to chat and before they knew it they were back home. It seems that he had been two years ahead of her at the same high school but they'd just never run into each other. They found they had acquaintances in common, but somehow or another never met each other for one reason or another. He walked her home and then asked her out to dinner for the next night. She accepted and that as they say was that.<br />
<br />
Time passed. They dated, became engaged and were married. To pay the bills they opened a paint and wallpaper store in their home town. He continued to paint his matching ties and pocket squares which he sold from their store. In the way that life happens, a socialite from Washington D.C. came into their store one day after having car trouble, to use their phone. She was stunned by the trompe-l'œil scene on the longest wall in the store. Finding out that the painting was done by the co-owner, she immediately hired her to paint her living room. Her talent became known to the smart set in D.C. and she was commissioned to paint many trompe-l'œil scenes over the years.<br />
<br />
And so as they say, life happens while you make your grand plans. Their business paid the bills and their art fed their souls.<br />
