    I just subscribed to their channel. I love the story of the cameo, and I am so happy that she has it, because she is someone that appreciates the history behind it and she will always take care of it. It is a lovely store, and I'm glad to hear her say that it isn't all about having designer things. It's more about style and quality than designer. I hope their new location is a winner for them, and having their own channel will really bring in the clientele.

    Thanks! I love vintage clothes, possibly because I am vintage lol 😆 I was blessed with a mother who could sew absolutely anything and she made a beautiful navy cape for me. It had a silk-y lining and brass-look buttons. I always had the latest fashions thanks to her, because we certainly could not have bought everything "ready made". I'm sure their TH-cam channel will be great because I follow them on Instagram and love the videos!

    Thanks for this great video. Love the vintage fashion, especially the jewelry. I remember going from wearing a uniform in grammar school to no uniform in high school. I wanted to be fashionable; that meant sewing my own clothes. I chose the Vogue designer patterns. Back then they included a designer label to sew into the garment. Wish I saved them.

  • @TXMEDRGR

    Thank you for sharing your visit at the Swish Vintage store and interview with Angelia and Natasha. They are lovely and the store is wonderful! I wish it wasn’t 2,120 miles away from my spot of land. But I will enjoy visiting via the TH-cam and Instagram and looking forward to making new friends. I can see how this new direction will be more fun and lucrative for you and your family. It’s amazing how much you’re cutting your expenses down. Congratulations on a very well designed plan you and Melissa made. I did something similar, I sold my grandparents 1909 home because it’s just too big and expensive to run. I’m happy in my small country home, working in my art studio and having freedom to do just anything I want to do. I’m enjoying, as always, your videos and I believe the ones like best are the ones we’ll be seeing more of. 😊 From my mountain top in middle Tennessee where the hilltops kiss 💋 the sky, I wish you all the best, love Fran

    Strange to hear that vintage bathing suits are harder to come by in Canada. I have a good sized collection of 40s-50s suits in excellent condition. I have to wonder if warmer climates encourage resiliency to weather deterioration of ruching, elastics, and Lastex type materials.

Sleep late, buy some Epsom salt, have a long soak and drink a cup of amazing coffee, then lounge around the rest of the day! You deserve it!
