During the years 1989 thru 2001, I owned and operated a fabulous Vintage Clothing, Textile and Accessory storefront. Bittersweet Boutique was a huge store with the best of the best Vintage attire. When I search for Vintage Clothing stores today, both in cyperspace and real life, I truly cannot find anything that comes close to my old store. My inventory was outstanding since I was a rare source for people wanting to sell and consign their vintage heirlooms. I eventually maintained a website Bittersweet Boutque .com while running the storefront as well. What a ball I had! My palms would sweat when someone would come into the store and offer up a fine beaded 1920's flapper dress or an elegant 1940's gown with padded shoulders, nipped in waist, detailed tailoring and side zips. People brought me Bakelite jewelry, 1950's Lucite purses, Vendome suites, chubby fur coats, stoles and jackets, thousands of hats and cloches and so much more! I made many friends and contacts and learned the historical fashion significance of many time periods. These were wonderful memorable years for me that I shall always be grateful for and never, ever forget.
