$WIN$ Show Us Your Vintage Style Contest

I was going to wait until the Jenny and Pearl Facebook page hit 300 'likes', but we're at 297 as I'm writing this and I'm impatient plus I'm listing so many cute things that I'm dying for you to see (a few of which are in my previous post).  I thought I would celebrate and award some lucky winner with a $50 store credit for Jenny and Pearl.  Good towards anything in the shop.

Of course, you want to win!   So... follow these 4 easy steps.

1.  'Like' the Jenny and Pearl Facebook page - easy, peasy lemon-squeezy!

2.  Post a picture of you, or someone you love, in their vintage best on the Jenny and Pearl FB page.  In the interest of fair play, here are a few pictures of my own to get the ball rolling.

Here I am with my brother, a menacing Santa and my sister (attempting to wink at the camera).  We are making it happen in the 60's.  My mother clearly had a thing for kids in stripes and short hair!

Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!  Welcome to the 70's and our mini version of the Brady's, starring mom as Carol, Karen as Marsha, Kathy as Cindy, dad as Mike and Karl as Greg.  Groovy!

Oh the 80's - bigger hair and even bigger shoulder pads!
I'm the one on the left with the poodle hair (don't be jealous!) holding my daughter Ashley.  Next to me is my sister-in-law Shelley, Veronica, Anita (my mom) and Kathy (my sister).

Get the idea?  If you haven't survived several decades like me, post a current photo of you rocking vintage style or raid your mother's photo shoe box (I know that's where they're stored) for your family's vintage best.

3.  Wander on over to the Jenny and Pearl etsy shop, pick out the one thing you would like best (or two, or three) and mention your favorite find below your picture.

4.  Spread the love.  The picture with the most 'likes' on our Facebook page wins!  Share the picture on your own FB page to get your friends to help.

I know I've made this sound complicated, but it's really this easy.

Do you really want to win?  Then, share your post with friends and family and beg them to vote for your picture.  I know you're not above begging.

Good luck!

**Winner will be announced Monday, May 21**

*** Congratulations to our winner, Kathy!  She chose this adorable skirt as her prize.


Thanks to everyone who bravely participated and showed us their vintage best!

Summer Fashion

I have been a busy girl lately. Shopping my heart out (I know...pity me), prepping clothes, and finally, assembling a great team to shoot all this cute stuff to put in my shop, Jenny and Pearl.

Last weekend we got together and these pictures are some of the results of that photo shoot.

80s patterned sweatshirt, high-waisted denim shorts and cross-body bag

Summer is definitely on the horizon (or already here, depending on where you live), and these clothes are sure to get you in the summer spirit!

There was a certain theme that emerged...

spring flowers circle skirt dress

color...

60s mod bleeker street dress

 Color...

bright flowered 60s angel sleeve dress

  ...and MORE color!

patterned secretary blouse and apple green wrap skirt 

So, whether your look is conservative...

floral multi-color maxi dress, suede feather purse, floppy hat

 or NOT...

mint green rockabilly dress and mint green rockabilly shirt

If you like colors that pop..

80s sheer black and gold top

...or just a bit of sparkle...

I know you will find something you love at Jenny and Pearl Vintage.

Please keep in mind, not everything shown here has been listed yet. After all, I'm only one person  - well, three actually, if you count my alter egos Jenny AND Pearl.  If you see something you like and you can't find it yet in my shop, just contact me and I can give you the specifics so you can snatch it up before anybody else does!

Thanks again to my top-notch team. Photographer - Jazmin of Jazmin Lane Photography

Stylist - Lauren Ashley Or

Models - Natalie Contreras, Rachel Rutledge, Kathy Kohler, Jenna Duncanson and...

black pearl button western shirt

...my reluctant, yet willing son-in-law Daniel Or!

And to my sweet husband Steve, who managed to pull together all the necessary equipment, just in the nick of time.  I couldn't have done it without all of you!

Change Is In The Air

Hello friends!

Wow!  It has been a long time since my last post.  I was on my way to 1000 Gifts and life hit me square in the face.  You know those times, when you're treading water just to stay afloat?  Well, that's been life in our house lately.  But it looks like we're getting some long, clean strokes and finally making some progress so... here I am.

The most exciting bit of 'life' that has happened recently is the fact that Steve and I are becoming  grandparents!  That's right, our daughter Ashley and her husband Daniel are expecting their first child - and it's a girl!  It is slowly, very slowly sinking in and I'm liking the sound of it.  

I will post a prego picture soon!


There have been other changes in the works as well.

Hibiscus Needlepoint Pillow - SOLD!

I have been selling on-line in my etsy shop for some time, with a wide variety of lovely vintage goodies.  I am shifting my focus to vintage clothing and accessories, specializing in colorful California style fashions and a bounty of fun accessories.  So, what does this mean for you?

Petite Spring Basket Watercolor - Sale price $14.40

1.  I have inventory that I'm selling off to make room for clothes.  Everything in my shop that is NOT clothing related is ON SALE now for 20% off.

Honeysuckle Pink Van Briggle Lamp - Sale price $60.00

I am trying to clear out my inventory, with new listings daily.  This is a progressive sale, and the discount will go up to 30%, then 40%.

So...you can snatch up your favorite items now at the 20% discount or be patient, wait a week or two, and hope that the treasure you have your eyes on is still around when the discount rises to 40%!

I am very excited about this new shift for my business and can't wait to show you all the beautiful clothing I have found.
