Vintage Cherry Sweater

Today I am participating in Rednesday over at Sue's blog It's A Very Cherry World.  I have many, many red items in my house.  Most have now found themselves wrapped and stuffed in a moving box but not this cute little sweater.  Two weekends ago I ventured out to an antique store about 30 miles away.  I always seem to find good deals at this particular store.  I immediately fell in love with this sweater when I saw it.  I was so nervous that it wouldn't fit and anxiously tried it on.  To my delight it fit just perfect.  I paid $15.00 for it.  I thought it was a little high for a vintage sweater but this was one of those purchases that I just had to have.  I'm so glad that I purchased it. :)  Today I was browsing ebay and saw the exact sweater with a current auction bid of $42.00.  Now I feel even better about my purchase!  Enjoy...




I'll be adding a couple more vintage sweaters to the blog later in the week.  I believe that I have started yet another collection!!

Hi Ann! Oh, from one collector (of many things) to another collector, your sweater is beautiful! I am so happy to see the weather warming up finally! I'm already seeing yard sales and estate sales popping up here and there, and I love going to as many as I can find time to! Happy Rednesday to you! ~tina

That cherry sweater is such a find! It evokes memories I don't even have... a previous owner tying her hair into a ponytail with a red ribbon, popping into her saddle oxfords or penny loafers, slipping the sweater around her shoulders and running off to a sock hop. Vintage charm all the way. :)
