Agent 137 Finds of the Week

This had been a major week bringing some awesome finds to the shop. So I thought that in an effort to take my mind away from this heat wave we are suffering through now on the east coast perhaps I should share a little preview of what will be coming this week. Enjoy...

Shop Sneak Peek

Sometime ago I promised that I would share some pics from the shop so without further ado here are some photos from our grand opening...

New Dolly

Presenting the next dolly to be added to the Agent 137 dolly giveaway....

Sweet Native American folk art dolly with hand bead work. She is really pretty in person! I will be adding more cuties throughout the week leading up to the Retro Kitten grand opening. If you happen to be anywhere near Vestal, NY this Friday you are welcome to stop by and check out my new shop!

Hello Dolly Contest!

I am super excited to offer another Agent 137 contest. Unlike the other Agent 137 contests this time I will ask something from participants. To enter please send a pic of your fave kitschy vintage find and the story of where/how you found it. Selected entries will be featured on the Agent 137 blog and the winner will win a dolly grab bag stuffed with vintage dolls!

If this isn't enough to get you excited I will show you one of the dolls being shipped off to the winner..... A vintage 1970s Betsey Clark doll:

Agent 137 will be adding selected dollies to the grab bag. The contest will continue until the last day to enter, July 8th, which is the grand opening of my vintage clothing shop, The Retro Kitten.

To enter email your picture and story to Agent137vintage@gmail.com.

Good luck!

Preview

Long time no write.... It has been a while. So where have I been? In vintage world gathering items for Agent 137, but also out and about creating a brick and mortar shop to house vintage clothes and home decor called the Retro Kitten. It has been a very busy month. My shop grand opening is almost here and to celebrate I thought that it would be only fair to have an Agent 137 contest to kick things off!!!

But I am getting ahead of myself... The details of that contest will be coming up in another post, but first let me share some of the finds that will be coming to the shop this week.

A haul that includes a sweet oil cloth bunny, 1950s long necked plush, skunky, fun squeakies and a lot more! 

Agent 137 Fairy Tale

Once upon a time all of Agent 137's finds seemed to match a theme. Lately it seems like I am tripping over fairy tale finds. Check out this week's picks:

Little Red Riding Hood vintage 50s oil cloth doll

Amazing 1960s 3D portrait

Pinoccio

Goldilocks and the Three Bears

Coming soon.....A sneak peek inside the new Agent 137 shop: The Retro Kitten opening in June!

Mermaid Sisters

I love pose dolls. I love them so much that I look for them everywhere. So what could be better than a 60s pose doll? A mermaid pose doll! Better yet- two mermaid pose dolls! I have had my coveted mermaid pose doll for quite sometime. I was super excited to find another mermaid posie. Especially since the little darlings are so rare. Since I already have one I thought that I would offer this posie in my shop.

She will be listed today along with some other fun finds. 

The blog has been a little neglected lately as I have been busy viewing possible locations for a "real life" Agent 137 shop! I am soooo excited and will post updates as progress is made.
