Unfortunately, it turns out I cannot go to Scotland. My passport has expired. I cannot believe that I didn't think to check. I found out just a few hours before my flight, so there was nothing that could be done. I will survive, though. I am vintaging in Fredericksburg, Virginia, a vintage haven.
First, we stopped at Waffle House, me and my mother:
After that we drove until we found our hotel, which was spectacular for the price we paid! They even do free dinners on Thursdays, good thing that's when we checked in!
We dropped off our things and headed to downtown, to go vintage shopping! First stop, Cameo. It had lovely vintage pieces, lots of them, and all for reasonable prices. I was very pleased with what I saw, and am even contemplating going back.
Sorry about the sideways pictures, I cannot seem to rotate them. The black and white dress in the picture is paired with fur, which I got somewhere else, we will get to that later on. Cameo is the yellow and blue parts of the building, but the best clothes are in the yellow part!
After some shopping we walked down the road to a lovely, very pink, tea shop. We split a pot of creamy earl grey, and scones with lemon curd and Devonshire cream! Delicious (even if the scones were more like biscuits).
Next, a vintage mall! It is called R&R antiques. It is a sprawling array of booths that have never ending nicknacks. I found a few gems though, as far as clothing goes.
Second from the end is a better picture of the black mink cape. It is super soft, and luxurious. Love! The first dress was pink, not slightly white as the picture suggests.
However, the piece de resistance was that red peignoir set. I love it, as you can see me modeling it! Perfection!
Later tonight we are going to see some live jazz at a local tavern. More on that tomorrow. Happy vintage everyone!
