Inspiration of the week

This week we want to showcase this wonderful portrait. We at My Desire Vintage love to obtain portraits like these and admire their beauty. It is very inspiring to see how little things like the design on the cover of this frame add a touch of interest, but without overpowering it. The woman in the portrait is radiant, her hair is simple but interesting and her gaze is captivating. The way it is all put together is what we find attracts us to the vintage lifestyle and the constant need to submerse ourselves with things from the past.

The Whriling Turban

With Valentine's day, and spring on the way, we cant help but feel the love in the air! With engagements and weddings on our minds we searched the web and stumbled on this gem! It's called the Whirling Turban, a vintage reproduction clothing maker. They make their dresses custom to order, with the best fabrics you could ask for in a vintage style dress. They try to replicate everything, from the fabric, cut, and stitching! We fell in love with this beautiful customizable mermaid wedding dress. These are great dresses for that special occasion or if you want to get something that's good quality that will last you a long time. So save your delicate vintage pieces and get yourself one of these gorgeous dresses you can wear and not be afraid to split a seams or snag!!

Sunday morning vintage comics!

Anyone heard of Miss Fury?

She's the first female superhero created and drawn by a woman in the 1940's. She was originally named Black Fury whose alter ego was Marla Drake. The Miss Fury character was loosely based her creator, June Tarpé Mills, who used her middle name to conceal her gender. We love Miss Fury! She shows us you don't need superpowers to fight crime.
