It started way back when....

My grandmother can take the credit for starting me on my addiction with all things vintage. At a young age I was wearing vintage and scouring either my grandmother's closet for pieces I could wear or the local thrift shop. Seeing a beautiful cocktail gown languishing on a rack stuffed between other forgotten and unwanted clothes on the racks of thrift stores, opened a desire in me to rescue them and give them new life. Not being able to wear all that I had saved I decided to start selling what I couldn't wear and my first venue was Ebay. After several years of success but not caring too much for all the fees and changes I stumbled upon a truly wonderful site, Etsy. I now have my own special place among the other truly amazing shops filled with handmade and vintage lovelies.
My shop is www.isleofmuse.etsy.com

I guarantee all my items to be 10 years old. I specialize in clothing, shoes, jewelry, toys and housewares. I ship all over the world and also guarantee a pleasant experience in my shop with top notch customer care.

Also I love to help identify pieces. Researching a gown or necklace is like a treasure hunt. I often try to picture the person who may have owned the piece and what they were like and what they may have gone through. It just fascinates me.

I also strongly believe in reducing and reusing and recycling. Buying vintage not only gives you enviable looks for your taste but it also helps the planet by keeping these lovely pieces out of the landfills.
