hibernating

It has been a long, long time since I have written or posted anything on this ol' blog! 2 months! 2 months that have flown by. Well, I don't know about the rest of you, but I am done with Winter. It has lasted for far too long! Luckily, instead of my regular hibernating, we've been keeping pretty busy. The shop has been great, online & here at Market Supply Co. We've been out searching and digging for Spring and Summer goodies that I can't wait to finally bring out to light. Soon, I hope. The snow was finally leaving us but then what happens this morning? I awoke to a snow covered ground again. I almost threw in the towel right then. I want green grass & trees! Warm sun and a cool breeze!!! Is that too much to ask!?

Another thing that has been keeping me relatively sane is working out at the Bar Method Studios here in Chicago. The last 3 months have been brutal and rewarding. I swear it's been the main reason for me to not stay cuddled up in my warm bed all winter long. I started hard by going 26 days in a row for January, then every other day in February and now 4 days a week. Without that, the shop, Mike and my friends, I probably would have curled up with my cats in my bed the last three months just trying to keep warm!

Here's a little recap of my winter via Instagram!

The shop...

How do you survive the Winter months??

Fall [?] Shop Update

Finally, Fall has come around here, well, kinda. I mean sure it's October, but it still feels more like early September. I don't know about you're cities but Chicago has not gotten the memo that it is Fall! We have been teased with cold[er] evenings but 70º days, no thanks! I am ready to layer up in my wool, tights and boots! Until Fall & Winter set in I thought why not give you a few more transitional pieces before we dive right in!!

Check out Dethrose Vintage for more weekly updates or if you happen to live in the Chicagoland area, visit us at Market Supply Co! Located at 1747 S. Halsted St, Chicago, IL.

To Market...

Things have been a little quite around here. I have been so busy at our shop Market Supply Co. It's been our first month open and it has been beyond amazing. It's so fantastic to have a shop where I do what I love and in a way I've always wanted to do. So in case you missed the news, Dethrose Vintage is now a brick and mortar here in Chicago. Market Supply Co is a collaboration between Dethrose, Clyde's Rebirth and Midnorth Mercantile. Just think of it as a modern General Store. A little something for everyone.

I am living my dream and thankfully I have my fiance and best friend here to do it with me:)

If you can't make it out to Chicago, you can still shop online in my Etsy shop. I still hope to update it weekly:)

Sadie, Sadie

Every time I log in to post, I realize how much time I have neglected to write and capture a more personalized post. Why, other than being terrified to bore you all, because I am usually swamped with photographing new items, etsy, buying and hunting for more vintage, etc... Now I have a really good excuse I swear!! I've been prepping for a store front, that's right Chicago, I am finally getting the brick & mortar of my dreams! More details to come within the next couple weeks, but what I can tell you is that it will be with 2 people I love, my fiery ginger bff Merl Kinzie & my mustachioed fiance Mike. Oh did I not mention the other reason I've been so busy?? I GOT ENGAGED!!

Mike surprised me last Wednesday at the beach & proposed to me. It was the most relaxing & gorgeous day. Spent laying in the sun, stuffing our faces with fruit salad, making fun of practically everything [including each other], and BAM! There was an antique ringbox with a gorgeous 1890s Garnet & Sea Pearl ring inside waiting for me. It was a chill, non-dramatic moment with my best friend. So duh, I said yes. I am so excited for the things to come!! And I plan on draggin' ya'll along for the ride:)
