Dear Friends,
Happy New Year and thank you for joining me for another month on Vintage Indie. My goals for this year are really to encompass why I started Vintage Indie in the first place and to expand on the idea of living in a modern world with a vintage perspective. 

Indie takes a huge priority in this concept because it defines creativity, a do it yourself attitude and keeping to our roots of handmade rather than massed produced. Vintage falls in line as a passion for things of the past  and a sense of joy when something old is made new again. It's also a form of "vintage green" a new way to look at recycling and doing our part for the environment.

This year I've also invited you to show and tell with us, your treasured collections, your secret hidden vintage stores, events and indie places you spend hours at. I've also opened the door for sharing your love of crafting by inviting you to submit your "do it yourself" craft tutorials with Vintage Indie readers. I hope you will continue being passionate about what you love this year and  visit Vintage Indie often so I can share my passions with you.
