YOU SAY ITS YOUR BIRTHDAY!

Well, its my birthday too, yeah!  Ah, June 21st. Summer solstice and the longest day of the year. Also the day yours truly was born in 1970.  Yes, its true that why I love my 60s and 70s fashion so well!  As Austin Powers would say, "Its my bag, baby."  Jinkies, as if you couldn't tell that from stopping by Jojo's!  To celebrate, today I'm offering 20% off in my shop with coupon code BDAY20 at checkout.  Be sure to listen to your favorite bday song while shopping (Mine is "Birthday" by the Beatles- such fond old memories of listening to that driving around in my friend's vintage 60s Impala while he delivered pizzas.)

Me, 1973

Every 10 years I have a big vintage bday party- my 21st and 31st.   This year my party will be the Cats Pajamas vintage clothing and jewelry show at the MN State Fairgrounds friday and saturday of this weekend.  

 Jojo's will be in Booth #5 straight ahead of the entrance!  Please stop by and see me! On Friday night there will be a live jazz band, vintagewear contest and a cocktail bar. I will have all my goodies there- about half my gorgeous stock isn't even up on my site yet so you can get first dibs (yeah, believe it or not, all the models, photography and listing take alot of time!)  Its a good time to snag something off the site with that discount code before its sold at the show. Please note, the Etsy shop will be closed during show hours!!

Speaking of sites: stay tuned as a Jojo's will have its own website outside of Etsy in early July!  Ding-ding-ding!! Thats right!  It will be released in all its gorgeousness within a few weeks.  Lots of great features like more beautiful photos you can zoom in and move around on and better categorization- search by era, size, color, etc!  Stay tuned for more info!

Thanks so much to you all for help making Jojo's shop a reality. Its the best birthday gift I could ever ask for!

Josette a.k.a. Jojo

Vintage hats, brandy and summer gloves

"When I am an old woman I shall wear purple, With a red hat which doesn't go and doesn't suit me, And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves, And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.” Jenny Joseph

I have several beautiful vintage hats that I need to photograph and list this week. I'm entertaining the idea of staging them with the brandy and gloves- well unless I drink the brandy first. Thats dangerous as the result of the photos may not be all I'd hoped. While you are awaiting this arrival of this newsworthy artistic expression, I'd like to introduce you to a lovely Jojo's customer, Ms. Kris, from British Columbia. Kris recently purchased these two beautiful vintage hats from me:

I like to invite my customers to submit photos of themselves in their Jojo's vintage for the blog. Its so fun to see the new "lives" these old beauties get! Kris was kind enough to send back pictures of herself in the hats and included the info on her other wonderful etsy vintage finds in the photos:

Styling with Etsy:

The vintage blue gloves were from Maybel57

The vintage light blue dress was from AuntSistersPicks

And the brown cuff was from Labyrinth Leathercraft

Kris seems like such a cool cat! She loves her hats and says, "I like an assortment of styles when it comes to hats and clothing; from vintage retro dresses to making myself medieval gowns, I think I've worn it all. If I like it, I'll wear it, no occasion needed!" Now thats my kind of girl!

Other than wearing hats, Kristin enjoy drawing, sewing and working with her husband on their company, Dingo Games. They make computer and iOS games, like Laser Dolphin and Tasty Planet for the iPhone/iPod Touch and iPad. Check them out! She also has a blog, http://www.tatterhood.com/, where she posts drawings, some crafts, and game updates. Please stop by and say hi to Kris and see what she's up to!

Meanwhile, stay tuned, as those little beauties are all lined up in the studio, awaiting their Jojo's debut!
