Back from vacation with some mean finds!



Elvis Fight!!!!



Hello there!

I've been on a 2 week Internet hiatus scouring Nashville, TN for easily found awesomeness. My husband Dave and I are looking for an apartment in Nashville so we stumbled across many areas (and stores!) of interest.





If you're looking to get your vintage fix in Nashville you'll have to drive around a little but it's worth it! Make SURE that you check out Fanny's House of Music on the East End of the city. The staff there is very kind and SO helpful. This is one of  my favorite stores because it's filled with vintage clothing AND  instruments! They offer lessons and  let you play anything you want, but they ALSO have one of the best and most affordable vintage clothing collections in the city. A must see if you're heading down to Nashville.



Another place you'll find a sweet vintage selection is Pre to Post Modern at 2110 8th Ave S closer to downtown Nashville. They have a STELLAR selection of home decor, furniture, and (of course) clothing! I found a black 60s shift dress with a feather trim for $16!

If you're in the mood for a spectacular breakfast (and who isn't!?) get to the Pancake Pantry in Nashville's neighborhood of Hillsboro. Make sure you get there around 11 to miss the longer line (YEP! This place is THAT good!) After you've satisfied your stomach, walk across the street to Pangea. This is also one of my favorite stores in the city. Their collection of...well...everything is gorgeous to look at and even more fun to buy! They have trendy and eclectic clothing, funky cocktail items, fun embroidered pillows and home decor AND (my personal favorite) a day of the dead section!

Stay tuned for the NOLA blog post AND the launch of my Etsy store! Coming soon!!!!

NOLA!

Hi All!

I've been taking some time off for a 2 week vacation with my husband! Our first week was spent roaming the streets of Nashville, TN! Nashville rocks in all it's glitzy kitschy glory! Now we're livin' it up in the birthplace of Jazz!

If any of you are lucky enough to get down here to New Orleans you've gotta check out Ragin' Daisy! This fun & sassy store is located at 901 Chartres Street. So, come on down and check it out!

Pretty Flower Pots!

Why, Hello There!

So you’re probably wondering what Calamity Layne is all about…Well here goes:



Hi! :)



Calamity Layne is a collaboration of my many efforts to better the world through history, art, and (as always, a lot of quirkiness)!



Numero Uno – It’s the name of my Etsy store. I sell vintage clothing & housewares, but I also create my own designs from vintage clothing & embroidery called “Renovations.”

2. It’s a space that is designed to help you feel comfortable and confident about purchasing, wearing and using vintage items. My blog will cover everything from measuring yourself & vintage sizing to how to incorporate vintage into your wardrobe.

3. It’s a space where I not only show off my own creations, but also the creations and talents of friends who have helped me along the way. I’ll cover all kinds of stuff like  artist profiles, music, and business advice.

So, if you enjoy fun, crazy, and vintage – you’ve come to the right place!
