so today is the last day of the physical shop known as funkoma vintage.......
all things are 20%.... at least. Saturday March 27, at 11 am.
It was an interesting 2 years here on Broadway.......a familiar old building .....a wonderful view....coffee...cocktails...karaoke...pizza......No fucking street for 6 months....Flooded building....electrical explosion.....the Depression/Crash of 2009 - 20??....and the best customers ever....not everyone "got" funkoma style....a willingness to not dress just like everyone else...to be unafraid to get Vintage With it.........
But until I reopen...
I'll be busy doing what I truly love to do..
Make stuff!! Here's a list of what shall come from my hand...
skirts, t-shirt and sweater dresses,
reproduction dresses of vintage fabric,
swimsuits made from vintage fabric with vintage designs,
coats and jackets, mitts, spats, more steampunk,
purses and tote bags, leggings,
more jewelry,
more cashmere bloomers.......more bloomers....more Tressie designs including dolls and hats and whatev' crosses my mind.
Here's a few more pictures......the parties !!!
the FREE all ages shows...
food, fun, Fewster and Heidi....Folksingers In Hell ....Tacomen....

So bittersweet! Yes, I know some vintage shop owners here who would nod their heads reading this (particularly the torn up fucking street part!). I hope you will be back in brick and mortar business soon, but it sounds to me like you will have lots to keep you busy in the meantime! xo
awwww...yes kinda bittersweet....It was fun and I'm glad I rented this bldg..I do have a lot of history in here
;-)
I should open up upstairs in a couple of months after moving and improvements (paint...etc)
But I'll always have Teh Internetz ...and you!
You will be missed but I think better days are ahead for Funkoma Vintage. Who will tend your garden across the street?
I'm probably going upstairs, and if so, in a smaller retail format...more room to make stuff...a real proper work area.....
as far as the Garden, I'll come back to plant from time to time and weed, but anyone can carry it on......I'm worried about summer watering...
;-) well I guess I better concentrate on tough, water-sipping plants...
