Vintage & Retro Fun

I've started two new vintage carnivals: The History Is Ephemeral Carnival and The New Vintage Reviews Carnival. The premiere edition of New Vintage Reviews has been published here, and the first History Ephemeral carnival will be published within the next few days -- so keep looking!

Collectors News says Deanna is "a touchstone of where women have been, what they wore, and how they carried themselves to get there. She is a historian of how powder puffs and nail polish have both ensnared and enshrined the image of womankind."

You can keep up with Deanna Dahlsad at her latest blog, Kitsch-Slapped, as well as at Collectors’ Quest (these are her columns and she is PopTart in the CQ Community),  Kitschy Kitschy Coo, Things Your Grandmother Knew, & at The Ephemera Network.
