Exciting News Revealed!

So I would FINALLY like to share some very amazing dream-come-true news with my readers! With lots of hard work, lots of help, and one amazing charity, a brilliant project has been blooming in my life! Along with my "mother-in-law" Renee, and my best friend Tori, I am helping to open a vintage clothing etsy shop online for a nonprofit organization!


It's called Red Door Vintage and this isn't even the brilliant part, ALL THE PROCEEDS from Red Door Vintage are going to the Chrisitan Center in Anderson, IN. The amazing vintage items featured in the shop are being sold and every penny goes to this nonprofit organization. The Christian Center has a men's shelter and houses SO many men, feeds them, and helps them find jobs in the community while helping them to find Christ in their lives. It really is an amazing organization that deserves so much praise! We are involved in this process and taking part to help the Christian Center open this shop and share some of these remarkable vintage goods.

So here is a peek at just 3 of the vintage lovelies going in the HUGE grand opening:

menswear fedoras


There are tons of pretty vintage dresses, hats, handbags, and other accessories! We are *HOPING* to go live on etsy starting Saturday September 4th if all goes according to plan! I am feeling so blessed to be able to have this experience in vintage retail as well as help an organization like this in the community. It is truly amazing what it can do! I'm so glad to be finally sharing this with you all and excited to hear your response!

Stay tuned later this week for more details and hopefully a shop link SOON!
