ENGLAND
Y'all. The picking seems pretty good over there right now and I want to share it with you!
Yes 🫵
If you don't know, I'm a dual citizen of US/UK, and I'm fortunate enough to be able to spend big chunks of time there, resting from experiencing hostile takeover of the United States by a crunchy🍊🧀 snack.
I've been hoarding some absolutely delicious pieces, and I would like to give you a selection in a story sale, just before going back to find some more goodies.
I'm still trying to figure out how to ride the fence in the middle of the pond, in terms of selling. I could find something and sell it to you on the Internet and then bring it back to 🇺🇸or🇬🇧 in my suitcase, saving you the 🛩️🌎shipping. Would you be willing to wait for that amazing piece?
I'm also slightly turning my attention to antique jewelry in the UK. There will be a couple of sneak peaks in the story sale so ....
look sharp ! 👀

JEWELRY. I don't post about it much but I'm going to be posting much more. I have jewelry! I have vintage costume, antique, sterling and gold and a particularl passion, Native American. Could be the .2% NA blood in me but I've been buying it since the 70s (I was a kid so more like making mom and dad buy me a piece at the flea market 😆) and in recent times, much more serious pieces. These rings are a sample of a collection I bought from a retired man a few weeks ago. There are 50 belt buckles and 128 rings. All signed by notable NA artists. Most of the rings are in larger sizes with about 15 for smaller fingers. A very popular ring style right now is a signet ring, and there are loads of them in these boxes. I'll be releasing some rings and buckles in my story sale tomorrow. Outside of this lot, I have some very beautiful pieces that I will be posting to my website when that gets ready. I'll always be happy to show serious buyers more on an appointment basis. ALSO BUYING so get in touch if you are looking to liquidate any vintage or antique jewelry.

RELAUNCH

TLDR but we are relaunching.
Life has been blooming in many ways over the past couple of years. I met someone lovely over the pond, luxuriously spending weeks at a time in the UK (bonus:SOURCING). Late last year I closed my brick and mortar. I bought a house.
IM STILL BUYING ALL THE VINTAGE.
But what to do, WITH ALL THE VINTAGE?
My wonderful sidekick, and I have been working hard to organize the warehouse and come up with a plan.
WE HAVE A PLAN.
It’s starting with weekly story sales, while I polish off the website, and we make sense of the warehouse. Will there be another brick and mortar? I’m not sure. But there will be private appointments and possible pop up and shopping party situations. We are still located inside of and is still in .records in Seneca SC.
The first story sale will be Sunday November 9 and weekly until the end of the year.
We are excited to learn what will work best in terms of day of the week, frequency, and what YOU want to see from the inventory.
Drop a comment or send a DM with any suggestions, thoughts or general encouragement.

WE CANT WAIT

Manifestation in full action.

Two weeks ago in an Oxford pub with some of Adam's friends, one asked "What do you do?" I explained I hoard/collect/sell vintage clothing. "Ohhhhh!!" He then told me an incredible story of his wife's parents who regularly traveled in the 70s, to India to buy luxurious fabrics, bringing them back to England, to make high-end hippy clothing.
He then said his wife has a boutique here. Not particularly Vintage but definitely BoHo inspired. I was having a few beers so I said, please can you tell me the name of the boutique and I'd like to write the name down so I can remember 😆.
I wrote:

RAINBOW SPOON.

Yesterday I drove to London for 6 AM start at an antiques market.

Walking around outside, I met a seller who regularly goes to France, buying furniture, antiques and textiles. They happened to have a rack and table of clothing.

It was some pretty bohemian vintage, very unique. She said she found it in the south of France,at the estate of an elderly woman who'd passed. I made a pile and was about to pay when someone at the rack picked up what I had thought was some fabric but it was THIS FABULOUS DRESS. I waited for them to put it down, and I snatched it up.

I was about to pay but was busy inspecting the dress when I saw the label

RAINBOW AND SPOON

could it be? I checked my note. It had to be!

Anyway.... long version short, it was her mother's!

I'm looking forward to meeting Amanda and showing her this piece of her family history. I love it when this happens!

BOOTANDTRUNK UPDATE! Hi everyone, I hope you're all well 🥰. Despite planetary/humanity meltdowns...
Myself and my business, Boot & Trunk, are both undergoing major transformations and it's allllll gooood.
I have closed the downtown Raleigh shop and moved everything to the warehouse. The warehouse is such a delicious space and I can do everything all in one place.
The first phase will be to prepare the rooms and organize the inventory. Soon you will start to see online activity. And not too far into the future, I plan to open a retail piece, if it works.
I will definitely be doing appointments, in fact I've already had my first! with the wonderful , a stylist to to the film and television industry. It was a perfect first.
Personally? Well, I'm very happy and that's all I'm telling for now.
Love you all and do please WATCH THIS SPACE🚀
