For the past few weeks, I've been working on a vintage inspired hashtag library. This spreadsheet has over 300 vintage/retro hashtags that you can copy and paste right into your Instagram post and they're organized by category! I often spend a lot of time trying to think of hashtags and checking which ones actually have a decent amount of users. I thought, "Wouldn't it be great if I had a list on my phone by category and I could just copy and paste?" What a time saver that would be!


This library has hashtags for pinup girls, historical vintage girls, vintage bloggers, vintage sellers, beauty gurus and more. I also included 20 accounts that may share your post if you tag them, which can really help connect with new accounts and get some new exposure to your Instagram profile.

You can pick and choose from different categories or rank high in one. I also included some community hashtags created by other bloggers that are popular on Instagram and twitter as well. If you're into vintage hair, use my hashtag #pincurlclub and tag me @pincurlclub with your vintage hair looks.

Recently I had an article published in the summer 2018 issue of Artful Blogging Magazine called The Secrets of Batch Blogging. Lately, I've been so busy with everything in life that blogging has had to take a back burner but I started using batch blogging to get everything done and have time to do all of the things I enjoy.

Over the winter, I picked up this cute black and white 80s shirtwaist dress at a thrift store. I loved the skirt and pockets and the light cotton fabric but, like many things it was way too small in the bust. I brought it home anyway, since it was only a few bucks. I figured I could do something with it. I tried it on again and it fit great in all areas except it wouldn't button up the front. I cut the sleeves off and turned them into straps and cut the bodice into an apron top, sewed the straps on and now have a cute apron-like dress. I made it to wear a blouse underneath, its open on the sides. I think it'll be really cute with a peasant blouse when its really hot this summer.

My father in law gave me this vintage camera in a box of stuff he had in his house for ages. I usually just sit it on a shelf in the living room for decoration but one day I opened it up and started playing with it. They don't make the film for it anymore but it turns out, you can buy film spools and roll your own film onto the spools and use it. I'm hoping to give it a go this summer and take it on some family picnics or road trips! I love to scrapbook our memories throughout the year and I think photos from this camera would add something special to the pages.
