Vintage- It's All Relative

People have commented on the fact Solanah and I are family asking if we are a vintage family.  Once I thought about it I might have to answer "yes, our family is vintage."  I want to introduce you to another member of our family, Amy.  Amy is married to my nephew, Solanah's older brother, Joshua.  They have been married 12 years and have a son, Oliver.

This is a picture of me and Amy taken 13 years ago.  I am holding Ruth.

There are lots of pictures of me, Solanah and Amy.  But not many early ones, because as you see Solanah was still a little girl.  I love the fact she gives Amy and I some credit to her loving vintage.

Oh, the clothing that has been shared and passed among us is unbelievable.

Here is Amy in her kitchen, which you would just love!  She has a big fancy office and works with numbers, but when she isn't at work she is an artist.  Her creativity spills out in so many forms.  Fashion. Painting. Paper crafts. Sewing. Decorating.  Her house during the holidays is amazing!

  

She loves Halloween.

You can see Oliver in this one-and notice Solanah is growing up.

People often tell us they can tell we are related by the resemblance we have to each other.  That is always funny because we are family by marriage.

So there you have her, Amy.  You can also see two generations of vintage wearing relatives.  

And here you see Solanah mentoring Ruth for the next.  You never know....
