Oh my vintage loving lovelies do I have some excting news for you. Guess what I found today at my beloved Vermont Country Store?
By the way, if you don't know about them already you really should check out all of their goodies. I've gotten so many wonderful vintage reissue things from them. One of my favorite things is reading the Customer Comments for each of the products. They are filled with comments from ladies reminising about their husband proposing to them while they wore this perfume, or their mother using this hairbrush. It's actually very very sweet.
Here's an example:
"When I was little my mom always had a beautiful blue bottle of the most wonderful-smelling aroma I had ever smelled on her dressing table. Later I found out it was Evening in Paris parfum. She only wore it on very special occasions, as being a preacher's wife, such luxuries were considered too much for a pastor's wife to have. Dad bought it for her anyway out of the money he made working his other job as a welder for a sign company. He always gave mom what she wanted, which was never much, so when she did want something, he always found a way to get it. Evening in Paris parfum was one of those wants, but she treasured it greatly. When it was no longer available she was heartbroken. I always said if I ever found it again, I would get it for her. It is to be her Christmas gift this year. Thank you for making her dream and my promise come true." - Tommie Luster, Batesville, AR
Doesn't that just get you? WOW. Ok so now on to the really important consumerist part. Check out a few of my favorite past purchases...
This was THE perfume in the 50s. It's a very heady perfume. Perfect for vintage evenings.
Have you been searching for a vintage floral swim cap? Well here's a brand new one. I love mine!
My mother in law used to use these when she was growing up and I love mine. They give such great, long lasting curls. Plus, they are adorable.
Because if you are reading this, I know you love them as much as I do!
They also have great housewares and food. I know I'm gushing a tad here but I wanted to share this gem with you. I think you'll be glad I did. ;-)
Oh, you should know they did NOT ask me to write this post. This was written straight from the heart out of they joy I experienced in finding Lustre-Creme.
