Behind The Scenes: Weekend Wonders

A day in the life of a vintage obsessed, nostalgic lust, treasure hunter. We had such a blast this weekend going to estate sales, picking up old publications for inspiration, and having a photo shoot.

Girl Crush: Claire Boucher also known as Grimes

Claire Boucher the one girl army also known as Grimes has stolen my heart! Her name says it all. The singer is sometimes grimey, sweaty, makeup smeared, hair disheveled, but nonetheless a beauty in her own right. She's performing at the famed Seattle event Capitol Hill Block Party this weekend, and I'm hoping I can watch her perform, and send her away with a few goodies from our shop!





Get it Girl: Our Very First Mention on Curbed/ Seattle Racked

We got our very first mention today for Gidget on Curbed/ Seattle Racked. Such an honor to be sitting on the same bus as Capitol Hill Block Party. Read the mention below and the rest of the story here!


"Look at Me, I’m Sandra Dee: Osiris Navarro of indie extravaganza Badwill Market fame and her sister Eunice have announced their intention to launch an online vintage marketplace called Gidget later this month on July 31. According to advance press on the project, Gidget will be stocked with “yesteryear’s style for today’s sweetheart,” an allusion to the character in the 1950’s girl-next-door Gidget movies originally played by actress Sandra Dee (followed by a perky, young Sally Field). Don’t expect only 1950’s inspired vintage here, though. Navarro promises “a variety of styles whether you're a pin-up babe, hippie bohemian, disco queen, glam starlett, punk rocker or a fly-girl.”
