Free Pattern Friday: a St. Patricks Day Craft for the Kids
Isn't this guy cute? I just love all the cute projects featured in Jack and Jill magazine. I used to really enjoy playing with these things when I was kid.
The only change I would make to the directions is to print this out on heavy card stock, skipping the step to glue this to cardboard.

Sign up for the Livin' Vintage Newsletter!
I touched briefly on my new newsletter in my Coming Attractions post, but I wanted to share more details.
Many vintage blogs have their own newsletter, many of which I subscribe to. It's fun to get that email once a month -- it's like have a free magazine subscription! I wanted my newsletter to combine all my favorite vintage loves: fashion, film, old paper, and freebies.
When you subscribe, you will receive a FREE DOWNLOAD for an exclusive 1944 interview with Joan Crawford. It's from a Motion Picture magazine and contains some real sensational stuff!
The newsletter will be mailed out on or around the last Friday of the month. There's no pressure to keep subscribing if you decide it's not your thing -- but if you do decide to keep on reading here's just some of the things I have planned:
-what's coming up on the blog the following month
-exclusive Livin' Vintage Shop previews, get the shop scoop before anyone else
-special newsletter only Livin' Vintage Shop sales, coupon codes, and offers
-tons of vintage fashion inspiration right in your inbox direct from vintage magazines
-freebies, downloads, and pdf patterns
-a good dose of classic Hollywood gossip as seen in fan magazines of the time
Basically, I am planning on using the newsletter as a companion to this blog, offering up exclusive content that won't be available here. I am taking my love for fan magazines and vintage periodicals and creating my own by pulling directly from the source in order to share with all of you. I can't wait!

Coming Attractions in 2014
Happy New Year Readers! While I am not much for resolutions, I do feel that a new year is a fresh start and I have big plans for both this blog and myself for 2014.
2013 was a year of experiments for me. I started selling vintage full-time and worked hard all year to build my business. Through this, I was able to learn how I work best and what I need to improve on. This experience has inspired me to share how I work at home and what I do to stay on task -- look for more of this in the coming months right here on the blog!
I've also FINALLY got my act together and put together the Livin' Vintage Newsletter! I am beyond excited about this new endeavor and can't wait to share fun extra content with my readers.
When you subscribe, you will receive a free download of a 1944 interview with Joan Crawford and let me tell ya, you don't want to miss out on this one! The details are pretty juicy!
So what can you expect to find each month in the newsletter?
-what's coming the next month
-exclusive Livin' Vintage Shop Previews
-special newsletter only shop offers and sales
-freebies, downloads, and pdf patterns
-old Hollywood scoop
-vintage fashion galore
-and much, much more!!
One of my goals for this blog is to get back to my roots, so to speak. When I started blogging 5 years ago, it was an outlet for me to share my vintage finds, my outfits, and my love for classic film. I have since moved away from much of that, partly because things change and progress, but also because somewhere along the line it began to feel more like work than fun to get up everyday and put on a vintage dress.
I wrote about some of these things in THIS POST and up until recently I still have been mulling all that over. What I didn't share in that post is the fact that I had (and have) gained some weight which really has prohibited me wearing anything out of my vintage closet.
I want to take this fresh start of a new year to become more real and honest with both my readers and myself and use this blog as a way to be accountable for that. I feel we are all on a journey of discovery and I want my journey though 2014 to be an honest one, full of love, life, vintage, and happiness.
I hope you will continue to join me!

Free Stuff.... It's the Best Kind of Stuff!!!
My passion for finding a good deal has reached a new level. You can now find me hauling roadside finds home. Yes, that's right... I have become a picker. Now, I am definitely not picking through people's trash (ewww!!), but I did find this cute record stand on the side of the road. There was a ton of old furniture that the owner had put to the curb and I couldn't resist slowing down while I drove past. When I spotted this table, I knew I had to take the leap and grab it before some other frugal lady did. It was in near perfect shape, plus I was in need of some place to store all my records that I have started to collect. I am so smitten with my free find, probably too much so. :)
I also found a super old mirror that is currently undergoing some lovin' and once I'm done fixing it, I will for sure show you all -- since I am really taken with that find as well.
This 50s formica table was also a curbside find. After hitting an estate sale, I was driving through the subdivision looking for a way out and I spotted this guy. A van had already pulled up and was thinking about it, but I knew that they were gonna pass on it. They did and their loss is now my new potting table on my back porch. The table is a bit wobbly and the top isn't in the best shape, so it works great outside. Plus, my patterned concrete is grey and red, so the table matches!! I plan on reinforcing the legs so I can set food and drinks on it when/if I have a party out back.
How far are you willing to go to get a good deal? I am known to dig in attics and basements; and now apparently the curb as well. A little dirt never hurt anybody...at least in my book anyway.
