I think the folks at Haystack are upstaging me at my job. On their poster announcing a sale coming up next weekend, their word-craft is far too clever: “Out with the old and in with the… old!”
Precious.
If you were paying attention to what was really important in that statement, you will have read that yes, Haystack is having a sale. From 11 A.M. to 8 P.M. on both Saturday and Sunday, the vintage shop will be hosting a special “spring cleaning” event. Nearly everything in the shop will be discounted, including antique furniture, vintage clothing, locally-made art and upcycled designs.
And, every retailer owner knows that refreshments turn any ordinary day of bargain hunting into a full-blown event, so snacks will be amply offered.
Daisy Shop is also currently having a sale on St. John items and denim, summery basics that are always useful. More exciting, however, is the arrival of new vintage couture for spring and summer. Barbara Nell, Daisy Shop’s owner, sent out a comprehensive list, which is stunning.
Two ensembles I thought were particularly ideal for both sunshine and warm summer nights we’re anticipating are a strapless, pocketed Christian Dior top with vintage loose-fitting linen pants from Versace and a purple and green silk Jacquard vintage dress by St. Gilliam. The floral hues on the dress are both cool and vibrant at the same time, while the breezy two-piece set is perfect for a day in the sun with no tan lines to show for it.

So who cares if the vintage folk are better wordsmiths than me? The prospect of wearing fabulous summer vintage is enough distraction for me.
