Old clothes, poetry, music and the beauty of the natural world inspire me to be present and yet transcend time at the same time. Every day in each moment we have the opportunity to create magic in myriad ways and for me clothing is such a deep part of that. What character do I feel today? What am I going to make and give to the world? An outfit in itself can be a work of art...I guess that is what is meant by style...how we collage together clothes out of how we feel emotionally and physically. It is magic really, the creation of a beautiful illusion that we present to the world that affects those around us. The ability to create is one of the greatest gifts we have as human beings, so in my small way I hope by offering wonderful clothes and old goods I can inspire those who come across my shop to dream their dreams and create their own magic.

My shop won the best song ever contest!

My shop on Etsy, Moonchild Vintage, belongs to an Esty Team that recently held a contest where everyone was asked to either make, or in the case of vintage shops pick a piece inspired by one of your all time favorite songs and then photograph it with that in mind as well. I chose the Bjork song UNRAVEL which is on her album Homogenic and I won for my listing! I don;t think I have ever won anything! Here is the photo that one with the lovely dress for sale in my shop as well as the lyrics to Unravel.

While you are away
My heart comes undone
Slowly unravels
In a ball of yarn
The devil collects it
With a grin
Our love
In a ball of yarn
He'll never return it
So when you come back
We'll have to make new love
While you are away
My heart comes undone
Slowly unravels
In a ball of yarn
The devil collects it
With a grin
Our love, our love,
In a ball of yarn
He'll never return it
When you come back
We'll have to make new love

I wanna think the leader of the Etsy Indie Free Spirits Team for all her hard work in putting this together and all of my amazing team members! For more info on the Indie Free Spirits team and a list of all the shops on the team here is our blog:
