rusty love vintage rentals: April 2014

POE

-It's all in the details-

Take a look at this amazing Edgar Allan Poe inspired shoot right here in my hometown and Poe's of Baltimore, MD!

Sarah Park never falls short when it comes to creativity, and this one is especially breathtaking from the architectural elements in this grand historic venue to the soft touches of lavender against old wood. I love everything about this shoot!

Rusty Love @ Gypsy Vintage

Sometimes you meet someone and it just clicks. But it's better when it clicks and that person happens to be in your same business, and the cherry on top is when you both share the same style! A couple years ago I briefly met Melissa from Gypsy Vintage at an auction. I can tell you honestly if there was one other dealer in the state I would have loved to work with it would have been Gypsy Vintage. Time was a factor, I had just started the rentals and soon after was the shop and then One Kings Lane, so there was absolutely no time to even connect and try to collaborate. Timing is everything. I did not renew my lease on my store so I could focus more on selling online and through One Kings Lane.
Melissa was re-opening Gypsy Vintage in their original farmhouse after a temporary closing. Somehow and thanks to social media we connected and instantly hit it off! First the idea of not having to be in a store everyday sounded more then glorious to me! I still love to do shows, meet customers and set up shop....... I just don't love having to set up shop and be there every single day. The once a month tag sale at Gypsy Vintage was exactly the inlet of selling that I needed to keep my sanity. I still get to be Rusty Love and at the same time work with someone in a partnership that has my same outlook as far as business and style. We just mesh well and when we come together, along with a couple other fab vendors who sell at Gypsy. The results are a vintage heaven, at least we think so and hope you do too! If you haven't been to Gypsy Vintage make sure you come check it out! Tag sale fever is the first weekend of every month in the little white farm house. Every month the shop is completely wiped clean and filled to the brim with a whole new mirage of vintage furniture, candles, jewelry, home decor, new furniture, gifts, and tons more! Here's a little peak into some recent past sales.

The new logo!

If you have been following along then you know that I've finally divided my rentals from my retail.
The process is grueling and probably the reason I've been putting it off so long! Taking pictures of inventory is the easy part, staging room scenes....not so easy, and not such a fast process! I'm being over the top picky about every little detail and changing my mind on every thing at least 30 times. The trick is getting the branding to flow with the look of everything else, and since House of Presley will be offering all vintage styles, the website is going to take some time, a lot of time! First step is the logo and thankfully I have a very patient and amazing graphic designer! For now you can find our retail items on One Kings Lane, Chairish and on our new Facebook page for House of Presley!
Stay tuned.....!
