For everyone who's been wondering why we call ourselves, Wanderlust Vintage...
In just about any English dictionary, wanderlust is a strong desire to travel and explore the world. It comes from an old German word and I get what those old Germans were talking about -- an ache for distance, a longing for the road, just like Zarie and I have. I don't know if the attraction is the change of scenery, the strangers you find, the promise of adventure, the sunshine and snow, the risk of getting lost or losing yourself, the distance giving you a better view of home, or just the forward motion, but this desire isn't just strong, it's irresistible. It's what makes traveling in search of vintage clothes a labor of love; as much a pleasure for us, as for anyone who scores at our shop.
Now, the word vintage comes to us from the vine, the vintner, and eventually, wine! Interesting trivia for us lushes, I know, but beyond that, whether we're talking wine or fashion, vintage refers to the year when a thing of high quality was made.
Well, I have a good feeling this is gonna be a great year: a great vintage for vintage and wanderings.
So Zarie, you drive...Rosie, you can pass out in the back seat to recover from last night...I'll ride shotgun, with my feet up on the dashboard and we'll go...
