“Your descriptions of your vintage items are charming and accurate. You clearly are very knowledgeable and have an excellent sense of style, across all the different decades from which you hand pick these lovely outfits.”

”You have really inspired me. I came away from your site so happy! It was fun, thoughtful and very interesting, and I love pink!…When I get down from now on I am going to just go browse around your store for a few minutes and I'm sure it will pick me right back up!”

“It is fun to go shopping there, every item has a story and she tells it well. She is as happy and cheerful as she looks in all her presentations, shows a real love for what she does, and this spills over into the sweet considerate way she treats her customers.”

“I buy quite a lot of vintage from the U.S. but I really need to send a heartfelt personal ‘thank you’ for the most beautifully presented, carefully packaged piece I’ve ever received! The time taken by you in treating this dress so tenderly has the effect of sprinkling fairy dust over it for the recipient.”

“Sizing is dead on perfect, shipping and communication: Best ever!”

“When I order from you, I know exactly what I'm going to get—which is an exquisite new vintage piece that I will treasure.”

You recently met Laura and her beaded silk dress—now meet her shoes.

1920s golden bronze brocade with silver leather, the shoes are Art Deco beauties.

100% of the proceeds benefit SpokAnimal's work helping animals and families affected by the wildfires.

Some clothes simply insist on being cheerful. 🌹

This beautifully handmade late-1950s/early-60s cotton ensemble appears never to have been worn. Crisp white broadcloth, exuberant orange-red and yellow roses, a matching cropped jacket, glass buttons—and even its original white belt.

The fabric selvage is dated 1958, giving us a lovely clue to its age.

Sarah makes a very persuasive case for finally taking it out somewhere.

Now in the shop. ❤️

Do you recognize anyone in this photograph?

Between the bold lettering—FOLEY down the front, CONGRESS down the back—and the accompanying photograph, this dress provides many of the clues to its own identity.

Tom Foley represented Washington's 5th Congressional District, which includes Spokane, for 30 years, eventually becoming Speaker of the House. The dress dates from his very first campaign for Congress, in 1964.

But who are the girls and young women in the photograph?

Do you recognize anyone?

Her name was Laura. And this was her dress.

A year ago, when my dear friend Linda was preparing to leave Spokane, she entrusted me with some things that had survived from her family's past. Among them was a box containing pieces of one woman's 1920s wardrobe.

This extraordinary beaded dress was among them.

I've written more about Laura, her family, and the remarkable things that survived her on the denisebrain blog.

And now her dress is part of Vintage for Spokane. It is being auctioned to benefit Project Beauty Share's wildfire relief efforts.

Somehow, sending a Spokane woman's dress from a century ago out into the world to help Spokane women and families today feels like a particularly fitting next chapter.

Vintage for Spokane is now live. ❤️

I’ve gathered pieces with Spokane histories, things I’ve treasured for years, and a few things that simply seemed right to offer now.

The first auctions and special shop offerings are live, with proceeds supporting Project Beauty Share and SpokAnimal as they respond to the devastating fires in our community.

There will be more in the days ahead—more pieces, and more of their stories.

From Spokane. For Spokane.

Spokane has given me a home, a community, friendships, and a lifetime of stories.

Watching entire neighborhoods disappear is heartbreaking.

Over the coming days, I'll be gathering a collection of Spokane-connected vintage treasures. Every dollar raised will go toward helping our city recover from these devastating fires.

It's time for some of those stories to give something back.

More soon. ❤️
