The Glad Rags team (that's Vallerie Perrault on the left and Brianne Richard on the right) visited Retro Revival to film a segment for their documentary film series, "Glad Rags." The gals are traveling across the USA, from Boston to Los Angeles, exploring the history of textile production and sustainability of vintage clothing, by interviewing people who buy, sell, live and love vintage.
Brianne contacted me a few months ago after discovering this blog. Isn't Blogville an amazing place?! She and Vallerie were interested in filming me and learning more about how I collect and upcycle my found vintage linens into aprons.
I was nervous about their visit, not knowing what to expect and never having been filmed before this. Turns out, I had no reason for worry because they were the sweetest young ladies! So smart and passionate about vintage linens and clothing, and within minutes we were laughing and chatting like old friends!

They're heading to Raleigh and Florida next, and then on to Atlanta, Tennessee, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and ending in Los Angeles. If you know a person or place of textile interest, please let them know! Their email is gladragsdoc@gmail.com.

The team, including their friend Heather on the left, wrapped filming by playing a bit of dress up in my aprons ~ so fun!
You can learn more about Glad Rags and their mission by visiting their website. You can also follow the adventure on their Facebook page, Flickr page, and Instagram. The documentary series will hopefully be ready to debut sometime after the new year ~ of course I'll keep you posted.
What fun, not too many years ago you could be into vintage linens and aprons and think you were the only one on the planet with such a passion. Now by the magic of the Internet we connect with our sisters who share our obsessions. Amazing, but then I don't even understand how the telephone works! Lol
