I go to auctions and estate sales I am only interested in older sewing items because I feel they have had a life before I got them that they have more quality in the way they are made that they have more style sometimes. Recently someone says to me thats stuff isn't vintage its thrift shop stuff I consider it vintage if its over 30 years old and is in good condition thrift shop to me is like goodwill or salvation army where you can pick up anything but the life of the item is not there. Are you understanding what I am trying to say? What do you consider vintage?
