Dress and Spotlight!

As you know from past posts, I had done a dress swap with Quincy over at Q's Daydream with 2 fabulous dresses outta of the Dethrose closet. I could not have been happier with the pictures she's taken with the dresses! Quincy and I share our love for the 50's on our blogs and in our wardrobes quite often. So I thought what better than to have her model my favorite late 40's and 50's dresses. Yesterday I received an email from Quincy linking me to her blog and I can't tell you how great the photos are! This Brings me to my Spotlight on Quincy from Q's Daydream ! Although I have never met Quincy in person, her Blog and Shop have such a great energy and joy to them, It feels like I have met her. Thats the great thing about blogging and sharing our passions with others who can understand the love of putting life back in to something once its been tossed.

Enjoy getting know Quincy!

1. What made you start your blog and easy shop?

I decided to start my blog after discovering a couple other vintage blogs. I just thought it looked so much fun! From there I discovered Etsy and started Q's Daydream Vintage!

2. Q's Daydream is your shop/blog name, where did this come about?

Well, I started my blog when I was home sick with mono. People always call me Q and my blog was sort of a daydream to keep my mind off being sick. So Q's Daydream it was!

3. What do you find inspires you most?

Old movies and movie stars. I grew up watching Shirley Temple and Elvis movies. I always wanted to look like the girls in the Elvis movies, lol.

4. If you could live in any decade, what would it be? 

The late 50's to early 60s, for sure!
