Blogging is new to me. While my husband has blogged at the Just a Modern Guy site, this is all a very new and different experience for me.

My hope here is to better connect with collectors, designers and with people who just like fun, unique and classic vintage items to express their own personal style in their dress and home decor. While I have been dealing in vintage items for over 10 years, I have been a collector most of my life. I also have a strong passion for good design and have used that passion in the development of my two store, The Purple Moon and Modern by Design.

I began my selling career online, primarily on eBay about 11 years ago, and this blog is the next natural step to take. I miss the old community feel I used to get when selling on eBay years ago, and have recently launched an Etsy store – PMVintage – to be companion to this blog.  I’ll showcase items listed on Etsy here as well as – both from my store as well as others – and look forward to connecting with other collectors, dealers and lovers of vintage design and style.

Wish me luck!
