Kaleidoscope Vision - Seattle

Capitol Hill
1419 10th Ave
Seattle, WA 98122

We had an awesome impromptu date over the weekend in one of our favorite neighborhoods, Capitol Hill. We grabbed lunch at a fun spot (post to come), chatted over coffee at the Caffe Vita where beans are roasted, checked out Rare Medium, a vintage Polaroid camera shop.. and finally stumbled upon Kaleidoscope Vision, a recently-opened vintage store offering anything from terrarium-building workshops to vintage books. I came away with a gorgeous vintage Valentino silk blouse (second to the last photo) in perfect condition that I'm sure I'll capture in an outfit post to come, and the man got a pair of genuinely distressed boots from the 1940s. I love discovering new parts of my favorite city.

How interesting and its such a lot of space for a shop.....vintage shops in London tend to be quite small and crammed like a junk shop wonderland. But it is all part of the fun of discovering a new piece of treasure...also love vintage fairs and markets in London! And congrats on the wonderful new buys!
