Hello! I’m Valeria VonTassel and welcome to my blog! I love history, reading, sewing, and all things retro and vintage, especially fashion. I am especially interested in the history and culture of the United States from c1900 through the early 1960s, including pin-up culture and photography, life on the home front during WWI and WWII, and mid-20th Century material culture of the United States.
I am starting this blog as a way to log and discuss my adventures in learning new (to me!) old-fashioned life skills, as well as my adventures in vintage and retro sewing, cooking, victory gardening, pin-up photography, and (hopefully!) classic car restoration, although I am still hunting for my first project car.
I look forward to sharing my adventures with all of you!
