Free Shirts for Bloggers: Dameazon Dena


Dena is a fantastic writer with an amazing positive attitude. Life handed her lemons this month when at the age of 29 she was diagnosed with stage 2-3 breast cancer.

She is taking those lemons and doing her best to make sweet-ass popsicles for the whole world to enjoy.

She is raising awareness of the importance of doing monthly self exams. Seriously, do it! Do it now!

See her post:  I have breast cancer and I am asking you for a favor

Free Shirts for Bloggers: One Girl


Aw yeah! Another fun post in the 'free shirts for bloggers' series has arrived.

A Day in the Life of One Girl Jessica is sweet, funny, and adventurous with a whimsical, fun, crafty sense of style, and a love of the vintage. She picked out this Dreamsicle 80's sweater with 3-D applique flowers and really made it shine! Super cute shoes, hair bow, and flower pin tie it all together. Makes me want to take her out to the soda fountain for a banana split!

Thanks, Jessica!

My Old Clothes



My love affair with vintage t-shirts started young.

I was born in 1976 and consider the heyday of vintage t-shirts to have been 1976-1984, some of my most formative years.

My grandfather was a liquor distributor and my first night shirts were freebie schnapps t-shirts he gave to us. Must have been very funny to see a 6 year old girl in a "Pott and Coke" rum shirt.

Luckily my mother saved many of my old clothes in a cedar chest since the 80's.

I am starting to sell them on etsy. they are not really priced to move, and a lot of their value is sentimental, but I think they are amazingly sweet and can share them with the world.

Without further ado, my old clothes.
