Please give a warm welcome to my newest sponsor: ByTheWay! ByTheWay carries a wide array of clothing and accessories from past eras for women, men and children, and also offers a selection of refashioned items. Jaci, the lovely owner of the shop, filled me in one some of the history of ByTheWay and her love of vintage: “ByTheWay started on Etsy in May of 2008. It has been so fun putting to use the knowledge I have learned during a lifetime of sewing professionally. I love these older items and and am so happy to find them and pass them on to people who will appreciate and wear them! It is so fun to look for these items (I call them treasure hunts and I’m addicted!), or offer items from my own collection. “

Jaci also recycles some old garments in a fantastic way: “The upcycled items in my shop were all salvaged from a bridal shop and remade to take advantage of the best features of the dresses. And the altered ones are just things that I love that need a little help. I hope you enjoy browsing my shop as much as I enjoyed finding/making these things!” Isn’t that so neat that she upcycles bridal wear? Be sure to check out that section of her shop!

For all my readers, Jaci has generously offered a discount! Just note in the checkout process that you found her shop through my blog, and she’ll give you 10% off!

Thanks for featuring this shop – always good to find another fun vintage shop, and I agree with Emmy: sorting by sizes is a *good thing*.
