oh vintage red jacket

ode to my vintage red jacket 

seen in the photo below

i wore you our literally 

and loved you a long time

you were seriously the best smelling memory ever

finally you did rip under both my pits 

and in the back 

though i did try and elongate your life

in life sometimes you come across that security blanket a la clothes

and this was you baby

@ this time i would also like to say you are missed billy the kid jacket

left at some show in a corner 

whoever has it now is a very lucky devil

you are irreplaceable!

currently i'm 32 years old and ever since i was in high school 

my best friend anna and i would hit savers, dollar pound, and goodwill everyday 

in the early 90's 

we would scour for vintage fred perry's and fabulous finds

after high school and in college it was my dream to open a thrift store

i had a great idea for one right next to this cute little antique shop

i wanted it to have records and all sorts of knick knacks

last night my husband and i watched the show oddities

wow that show is amazing

its about a bizarre antique shop with 3 headed taxidermy cows

rare experimental medical equipment from the 20's

mummified cats

and coffins

wow was this a mind blower!

but i really salute vintage shop owners, antique shop owners, and collectors.
