1930's Maroon Knit suit now in the closet of the lovely Lily Collins. Hi Lily! Send us a pic if you can! 
Last week we exhibited at the Vintage Fashion Expo. I swear we had the WORST booth in the joint – we’re told it’s consistently the LAST booth to sell for every show – yet we managed to make a go of it.
So much so that we have already secured the same space for February’s show. Yay!
I didn’t see very many stars – though we did sell this cute 30’s knit suit to Lily Collins (daughter of Phil Collins). I didn’t know that’s who it was at the time – I tend to be pretty oblivious with stuff like that – but everyone else seemed to know who she was.
Obviously, it looked MUCH cuter on her than it does on my little half-mannequin. Lily is very tiny – and had the perfect shape for this darling little outfit. She was also sporting red hair (for a role, I think she said), but it actually worked well with the maroon.
In addition, hubby spotted Lisa Bonet and Marisa Tomei. I didn’t see anyone else myself 
Hubby, kiddo & myself. Day one of the Vintage Fashion Expo, Oct 09
Fantastic vintage blogger The Glamorous Housewife did a nice write up about her day at the Expo and took a fun picture of myself with the hubby & kiddo.
Hope she doesn’t mind that I snagged the photo! But while you’re at it, you should go check out her very Glamorous blog - Tales of a Retro-Modern Housewife – Scroll down to Oct 19th, 2009 to read of her experiences at the Expo.
I’m still working on keeping up with all these online things – we’ve got Twitter (follow us! ElsewhereVintag! We might even TWEET something now and then!)
We’re now selling on Etsy – shop name ElsewhereVintage. Oh — and we have a Facebook Fan page.
WHEW! Just writing it out exhausts me! All that PLUS the actual brick & mortar store AND a family? I need a nap.
