Happy 100th post!
Happy 100th post! Thank you for following along with me for this time. I have really loved this blogging journey so far and I am conscience of keeping it nice and real for you (and a lot pretty).
I mentioned a few weeks ago that I was moonlighting on a little project and I am very excited to finally tell you about it. Even since I took Dotti Angel’s pledge of buying hand-made or second hand for myself and the house a few months ago I have been spending more time at garage sales and op-shops. My winter wardrobe has survived and I have found a few sweeties for the house. Someone gifted me a fabulous dresser. It made me realise that there really is no need to buy new every time, there are many lovely things out there. More than enough for me. So I thought I could share a few lovely finds in a little Etsy shop of vintage. I have had to do a lot of sorting, a little hand-washing, the odd repair. I am really happy with the things I have to share so far. Maybe there is something for you (or a friend).
So, the name. When I lived in Copenhagen I worked as a ride operator in the Tivoli Gardens for 3 years. What a job. Outdoors for the entire Danish summer (joy!) in a beautifully landscaped park sending people 57m into the air for fun. It was a blast. I even worked a winter season on the lake when it was frozen over for ice skating. Surrounded by trees hung with fairy lights. It was cold and amazing. I have the fondest memories of working in Tivoli, and hence have named the shop Tivoli Vintage after my favourite place in Denmark. Enjoy.

Congrats! Love your blog and congrats on the 100th post. I just had to also say that I just got back from Copenhagen this weekend for the first time and I loved it so much and can’t believe that you got to work in Tivoli – very very jealous!

OH WOW! THAT MUST BE THE BEST JOB EVER!
No kidding, Tivoli was definitely one of the things I loved the most in our Denmark holiday!
Congrats on your 100th post and new shop!
