How exactly did I become the
"Vintage Girl"
I am today?
I distinctly recall a few catalysts that fueled my imagination as a young girl.
Yours Truly
My fascination with architecture and design occurred quite innocently in the 1970's. It all began when my cherished and frugal aunt who lived next door shared her
Home and Garden
magazines with my mother every few months.
My mother demonstrated mild interest in the magazines herself but I
consumed them with much exuberance! I wouldn't merely flip through the
pages. OH NO! I would carefully cut out each of my favorite design
photos and place them in a large shopping bag for further "processing".
You see, all those photos depicting the best of 1970's interior design had a greater purpose. All the mushroom wallpaper, shag carpets, sunken living rooms, geometric wall art, chrome and glass furniture would serve as a backdrop for my
CREATION!

I was building my very own
SHOE BOX MANSION.
Each of the shoe boxes I had amassed served as a room in my imaginary mansion. I would tape or glue my favorite pictures to the interior of the boxes then, I would stack the boxes to form my mansion.
Sadly my original work of genius design went the way of the
harvest gold and avocado green
appliances of the time.
They all ended up in the local dump.
No
grainy, faded photos exist of my 1970's palace so your imagination will
be required to envision my
DynOmite Crib.
I assure you it was totally
GROOVY!

Walking is a simple activity we do every day that has a lot of benefits to our health. A pair of good quality walking shoes is ideal not only to feel comfortable but also to avoid minor injuries such as blisters.I have a website for the men hiking shoes.
My mom showed mellow enthusiasm for the magazines herself however I expended them with much richness! I wouldn't simply flip through the pages.

Another function of the shoes that must be thought about is if the foot wear is flexible, making it a terrific discover for your closet. Being flexible permits the owner of the shoes to be able to use them with more than one attire. They must quickly match or match lots of short articles of clothes so that they are used most of the time. Shoosed
