Yahoo-o-o, I've been blogged by http://chichiandthegreek.blogspot.com. AT LAST.

According to miss chi chi…

Thank you so! And vice versa... because after you drew me into your clutches I spent about an hour wandering and salivating over your vintage delectables. Junk & sugar, indeed!

Alright --- coming up this early fall
recycled packaging, modelz!!, and the occasional editorial e-spread.

Stay tuned, with pop corn! Kisses, Betsy

Occasionally, as regards my collection, I have a revelation of feeling. A cold disdain for those I once loved..….

I've j-u-s-t zipped through my inventory, slashing prices a zig zag.

Voil à the savings! Please, push a few buttons & make these garments yours, treasure them as they deserve.

Love, Betsy

Thanks for a-l-l your patience during my revamp --- especially to those who stayed with me during my month-long clothing blackout.

Things are working now, I have a new shopping cart, a new digital camera (yay, color precision!), and have started listing again. Plans for the spring include: switching to 100% recycled packaging materials & a donation pledge. I'm planning to donate to a garment-industry related cause + by all means drop a line if you have suggestion/s.

Items to be listed soon: Missoni print chiffon dress, prairie tops & teddy bear sweaters, a 70's unbleached formal, 60's mini dresses, a late-40's angora/boucle sweater, David Crystal & Cyn Les items & more 80's kitsch. Kisses, Betsy

We are undergoing a design revamp --- page by page --- and staying open for business.

Please bear with me. I will bring you a more streamlined and delicious shopping play-time… soon.

No new items will be added the next few weeks, but I continue to run auctions on eBay.

Up right now, one pair of banana & electric blue Converse sneaks from the 70's!!!

I love spirited bidding thus all my eBay auctions start at o-n-e l-i-t-t-l-e c-e-n-t. Last week I auctioned off the beautifully embroidered Frye boots you see in the start page.

Good luck bidding. Dv will return to normality by early December.

Welcome to the beginnings of deadlyvintage.com.
I'm delighted you've stopped by.

I choose all my treasures carefully. Everything in the shop has been hand-picked by my nose for the love of Texture! Pattern! Theatricality! & Nostalgia! & every piece celebrates an e-x-t-r-a-v-a-g-a-n-c-e of one of those traits. I heart fashion kitsch. I'm color-mad & chase down bold textiles and graphic construction details. I adore the exquisiteness of a beautifully-crafted pattern and the individualistic perfume which comes so sweetly off anachronistic/historically-outmoded designs.
Follow me into my rabbit hole, darlings, and you'll find that your closet will never be the same.

What I have listed is just a smattering of my collection. Please bear with me as I fill the shop. Soon to come: a 50s Mary Martin cardigan, ridiculous 80s Victor Costa gowns, minis & maxis, lots of 60s-era British Hong Kong stuffs, Lanvin, mod Jonathan Logan, Missoni, 80s retro sundresses, slips & neghligees, 40s crepes & rayons, menswear and other yummys.

Questions? Preferences? Spare thoughts? Send an email to me, won't you…

Love, Betsy
