featured seller friday : calistamiakoda

Today's featured seller is Caitlin from Calista Miakoda. I discovered her pretty etsy shop after stumbling on her pretty blog. She has some really great vintage pieces in her shop & I love love the shop photos. Also she is offering my readers 15% off all items in her shop until Valentines Day! Just enter prettylittlevintage at check out. Enjoy our little chat below...





Your shop photos are amazing, I love background! Where do you draw inspiration from when taking photos for your shop?

Thank you! Most of my inspiration comes from browsing through vintage fashion magazines that I’ve collected, a few vintage fashion blogs that I read, and I always get great tips & ideas from my photographer uncle {jalexanderphotography}.




When did you decide to start selling vintage?

I decided at 12 years old that one day I would open a vintage clothing and antique shop, and I’ve been collecting ever since. {I opened my first retail store 7 years later!}





What has been your favorite vintage find?

Some of my most exciting vintage finds have been a pair of vintage Ray-Ban cat eye sunglasses {I got them for free at the end of an estate sale}, two vintage Gucci purses {I found them both at flea markets in Florida years ago}, a flawless sterling silver and leather handbag from the 1800’s {probably one of the oldest things I own}, more recently I found an antique lion door knocker that I absolutely fell in love with {all I need now is a house!}, and two vintage bathing suits {for $2.50 each and they fit me!}.





You also have a really pretty blog, tell me about it...


I started my blog a few years ago and then never really did anything with it, but in the last year I’ve been dabbling in photography and needed a place to share it. So I began posting regularly and in the last few months it has morphed into more of a vintage fashion blog. Once you get into it, blogging is SO addicting!
