VINTAGE FASHION SHOW EVENT

I really enjoyed taking my granddaughter to a vintage fashion show this past weekend. It was part of the Lemon Bay Fest and was held at the Lemon Bay Playhouse on Dearborn St. The weather cooperated with sunshine and a string breeze. We saw an antique car in the parking lot, and I was happy when someone volunteered to take a picture of us in front of it!

We went in, paid our way, and were given a numbered ticket stubs and programs made to look like an old fashioned, turn of the century paper doll.

We took our seats and the lights went down. It was Shantel's first experience in a theatre that didn't double as a gymnasium.

I was happy to be presented with a program of not just vintage clothing, but also quite a bit of historic prose, with stories of the founders of Englewood. We even had twin descendants of Englewood's first family, actually modeling clothing and in the audience! I really strive to instill a love of learning in Shantel and it's good for her to see other people, besides just me, in an educational and fun setting.


At the end, we were greeting in the lobby with treats and punch, and I was thrilled to meet Karen from Karen's Creamy on State Rt 776. She has been an inspiration to me since I first heard her do an interview, years ago on "All About Women", a WENG AM radio program. She's a fantastic female entrepreneur! I hope she was pleased to hear me tell her how that interview still motivates me to keep going in my business, striving for excellence.

On the way home I quizzed Shantel on what we had heard and learned,….. like mom did to us. Here are some memorable facts. :-)

The first zippers were made for boots.

It wasn't until a few years later that they were added to clothing,..

children's clothing to make a parent's life easier.

The short dress of the 20's was actually a style started in the 1910's and carried over.
