Stylish Shoppers

We love it when local gals come in sporting a vintage, eclectic look-- and when we spotted Alexa and Kimberly today, browsing at OCT, we had to snap a pic.  We're lovin Kimberly's skeleton T and Alexa's vintage vibe.  The devil is in the details and Alexa gets it right with a great vintage purse and those gorgeous bangles and Kimberly's rockin it in the funky T.  We think you'll agree that only the most stylish gals shop at OCT.  Come on in and check out all our vintage threads and get the look yourself!

"The Vinyl Underground"

Check out this story www.gcsunade.com/2012/09/20/the-vinyl-underground/ by Scott Carranza in the Georgia College newspaper The Colonade, about one of our favorite subjects-- Vintage Vinyl.  Scott agrees that the quest for retro albums is alive and well right here in the 'Ville.  We also appreciate the shout out to OCT as a great place to pick up your favs.  This is definitely one of ours--Iron Butterfly's Ball.  It was released in 1969 after the enormous success of  "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIVe-rZBcm4  and the album quickly reached #3 on the charts and was certified gold in March of '69. For all you psychedelic rock fans these are your guys, and guess what-- they're still touring.  Check out their web site here ironbutterfly.com .  And what about these amazing posters---Luv the retro look. Come see us at OCT and this rock album can be yours!

Vintage Inspiration

By now you know we are all about Vintage at OCT.  We especially enjoy the vintage inspiration we get from our customers who love this style as much as we do.  They know where to come to get the vintage vibe they are searching for--we've got it all--clothes, hats, shoes, jewelry and other accessories to complete the total look.  We're sharing a few pics of our favorite local vintage gals along with a video from an online boutique called "Ruche".  We love their vintage style and you can get the same look when you come visit us at OCT--you'll be so glad you did!









For more on Ruche be sure to check out their web site http://shopruche.com/ and their blog http://shopruche.com/blog and come see us at Old Capitol Treasures to get your vintage fashion look!

Favorite Mag--"Garden and Gun"

We just got the newest issue of our favorite mag in the mail yesterday--"Garden and Gun"--if you have never seen it you must check it out (it's sold at the new Kroger in the 'Ville).  Don't let the name fool you-- the magazine covers lots more than just Gardens and Guns.  It's about all things Southern--Music, Art, Food, Clothes, Home Decor  and much, much more.  We love it, and if you're lucky you may come across a few of the back issues for sale at OCT--Booth 4.  And while we are on the subject of magazines--several of the vendors at OCT sell back issues of their favorite mags for great prices (much less than newstand pricing) so come check it out and see if you can find your favs.

And remember the Jetson's?  Judy and Elroy were the 2 kids in the family -- this space family was way ahead of it's time!  Come on down to OCT and bring back the fun--60's style!
