Let me start out first with an introduction. My name is Linda and I am a vintage/shopaholic. I get a chill down my back when I run across an item that I think is out of this world, one that's not seen by many, and is not a cookie cutter design that you can purchase at any store that every girl is wearing.
I have for years been wearing vintage clothing and received hand me down dresses from old aunts that I have worn to family get together's, giving everyone a good laugh. Little did they all know that it would become a big business.
So with business in mind and a few pounds later (meaning I can not fit into the hand me down dresses anymore)...opened my vintage ETSY shop...so voila..Rare Essence Vintage
http://www.etsy.com/shop/RareEssenceVintage.
The name kind of came from an old perfume that I loved, Essence Rare by Houbigant, you can read on the history of Houbigant perfume.

In these tough times, my prices are low so they can be available to everyone and because I do get tired of looking at them take up all my storage space..maybe when the economy turns prices will go up.
