A Vintage Weekend

This weekend, there are several vintage events being scheduled. One of my favorites, the Manhattan Vintage Clothing Show, Inc. which showcases the wares of about 50 dealers across the country, is being held- as usual- at the Metropolitan Pavilion (125 West 18th street) on Friday, January 30th (from 1-7) and Saturday, January 31 (from 10-6).

And Sunny Chapman, the well known and wacky vintage dealer (who made it into Simon Doonan’s book “Wacky Chicks”), is one of several others who will be taking part in the Urban Design Girls (www.urbandesigngirls.com) Trunk Show which is being held at the Soho Grand Hotel on Sunday February 8. She will be selling vintage handbags, vintage jewelry and brooches I’ve made from vintage fabric flowers.
