Etsy! It's So Great & Did You Know They Had Parties?!?!

The Etsy Homepage always has a fun mix!


So, you don't know about Etsy?!?  Have you been living under a rock?  Haha, just playing!  I love Etsy, and I'm really happy to share it with you if your a newbie.  If not, I think I can show you some great new things!


I got turned onto Etsy by a crafty friend, bless that friend.  At first, I thought I had found a treasure trove of hand-crafted items of all kinds.  Gifty items, toys for kids, clothes, tools, wood, art, I could go on and on.  Anything you can imagine that could be handmade by an artisan, you can find on Etsy.  But not only can you find these great, one-of-a-kind items, you can talk directly to the artist.  You can even commission custom pieces, which I have done with great results.  I think that's one of the best things about Etsy, the easy connection with the shop owner.  They are receptive to questions and will often work with you on a payment plan if you need it.


And then I discovered that Etsy had vintage!  And I've really been hooked ever since.  Whatever era your into, whatever items your looking for, make sure you check Etsy!  And if your looking for somewhere to start, check out My Favorites on Etsy.  My personal collection of the best things on Etsy, handmade and vintage.  I honestly couldn't fit all my favorite shops in one post, so keep an eye out for separate posts late that will highlight my very favorites that you cannot miss!


I wanted to put a little note in this post explaining why I've been away so long, and to apologize for that!  Currently, my personal life is dreadful, going through a bad break-up, and finding the motivation for anything other than eating, sleeping and working has been tough.  But you deserve better! (and I need to get to it!)

So thanks for being patient!  I hope you find some great new treasures on Etsy!  And I haven't forgotten about the party, stick around for the next post to find out all about it!

Welcome to the Blog World: Vintage Bonnie Lass (That's Me!)

Hey Everyone, welcome to my blog!  My name is Bonnie Lass, and I am a lover of all things vintage, and alot more!  I'm starting this blog to connect with all of you, share my passions and information, my great finds, and basically all the fun things in my life.  I'm hoping you like what you see and get something useful out of my posts!  So, now a little about me, and a little about my plans for the blog!

Hey, there I am!

I'm overwhelmed with what to tell you, so I'll start small and you'll just have to keep reading my posts to learn more.  My favorite era was/is the 1950's.  I love all the tiny waists and pencil skirts!  I try to do my hair in a vintage set as often as I can, but the make-up is more of an afterthought.  I'm hoping this blog can spur me on to create some great make-up looks, as it is definitly not my strong suit!

I love nature and gardening, being outdoors makes me happy.  I work full time and go to school full time, so I'm a busy bee.  I also try to go out every weekend to whatever great local event may be happening, so I'll definitly be sharing those with you, as well.  I'm a total dork, and I love it!  I will probably quote random movies and silly things like that, so just go with it :)

And now for this little 'ol blog of mine.  I'm very into modern pin-up, so that is going to be one of the main thrusts of the blog.  I'll share some OOTD (Outfits of the Day), my favorite vintage and reproduction companies, clothing and accessories.  I'll do product reviews, beauty tips and tricks.  I do troll the internet looking for vintage, I have an obsession with online shopping and vintage flea markets, so I'll share all my best finds with you!  Let me do all the heavy lifting, you just come along for the ride!  Plus, I'll just share with you my musings on life and all things Bonnie Lass. 

So, welcome!  Sit and stay for awhile, there will be lots of exciting things to come.  Stay tuned for my next post, where I talk about a fun local vintage pop-up event I went to in DC, and the great MENS vintage clothing boutique.

And please, I welcome any comments on what you like, don't like, or would like to see in the future!


Thanks for coming, see you soon!
