Hello gals,
I'm new here.
I currently live in Portland, Oregon. I moved here about two years ago and I love it. I've been collecting/wearing vintage for almost 10 years now. I also collect all kinds of ephemera and other junk from the 30s through the 50s. My main time period of interest is the early 40's. I don't currently wear much vintage day-to-day, although i have had periods of my life where I've worn it every day. Two of my favorite things to do are knit and sew. Right now i'm kntting a short-sleeve pullover sweater (one-third of the way done!!), and sewing a pair of overalls from an early 40s Hollywood pattern. I also like to dance, garden, read, ride my bike (not vintage... too many hills!), and babytalk my adorable cat.
For work I currently am a nanny to one 3-year-old boy, and also an administrative assistant at an acupuncture clinic. I'm hopefully going to start volunteering for an oral history project at a senior center soon, too. Ultimately I would like to teach, do permaculture design, sell antiques, or all three!
I'm glad to be here and can't wait to get in on some discussions! Does anyone else like to knit?
